Nowadays, sustainability is usually defined as the processes and actions through which humankind avoids the depletion of natural resources, in order to keep an ecological balance that doesn’t allow the quality of life of modern societies to decrease.

Our global presence and structure enable us to scale up quickly, be agile in responding to your needs and deliver on time, even if it’s only for small order quantities. 

Local, when possible, global when needed.

With due consideration for sustainability, the environment and corporate social responsibility. Minimum impact with maximum result, that’s what we aim for. Because we care!

Greenstar meets today’s all three pillars of business

Environmental Sustainability

Every single product we create is environmentally friendly. All made from eco-friendly materials, our products are highly biodegradable and compostable, and they are sustainable for our mother earth.

We care about the environment and fully understand the environmental impact that manufacturing can cause. As such we have implemented numerous policies and procedures to lower our environmental footprint.

Indicators:

  • Preservation of trees – instead of cutting new quantities of trees waste paper is recycled and returned into the circle of consumption
  • Avoided of processing pollution: no use of chemicals (solvents, bonders, etc.), no pollutant emissions in the atmosphere, water sewerage system or earth.
  • Zero waste – Greenstar’s manufacturing process, utilises 99% of all materials appropriated. All waste is recycled.
  • Avoiding plastic – instead of plastic packaging and containers, solutions made of recycled paper are offered.
  • Nearly Zero CO2 emissions – PV solar plant covers 90-100% of the power demand, but due to the dependence on solar radiation occasionally grid power is used.
  • Renewable energy – PV solar plant installed.
  • Greenstar is researching the future installation of storage batteries to store energy created by our solar system.
  • Use of EE equipment (LED lighting, air conditioning, machinery, etc.)
  • Our products can be infinitely recycled – all products manufactured by Greenstar are 100% recyclable.
  • Carton board is most environmentally friendly packaging material.
Consumers care on the environmental impact of a product’s packaging. We care too!
