Regreen
From Greensir®… to Greensir®:
A virtuous circle which allows to cut down the Greensir®’s production waste disposal costs and to obtain new raw material in order to generate other Greensir®, without reducing the quality of the material but increasing its performance. Sirtek is pushing itself beyond the boundaries of the sustainable production introducing new cutting-edge technologies in order to reduce significantly the Greensir®’ offcuts and trimmed material.
Sirtek is launching Gnova: a new plant, designed in company’s laboratories, which allows to reduce the Greensir®’s production waste costs. An innovative system which reuses Greensir®’s offcuts to create… other Greensir®, called ReGreen.This system, not only cuts the production waste disposal costs, but it is also introducing a new dimension of the firm’s sustainable production on the market.
Gnova was developed aiming to accomplish the Sirtek’ main objective of becoming a completely sustainable company. This new technology represents a further effort of the company in keeping distance from the traditional approach to production, based on ‘buying-‐producing-‐eliminating’ philosophy and directing towards recycling and reuse of any kind of production waste. Fabrizio Storti, the Sirtek CEO, said that “we consider as waste all the material which represents a cost and not a value for our customer. According to this definition, reducing as well as eliminating the Greensir® processing waste means for us much more than reduce the quantity of the material sent to the garbage dump. It means also to improve the processes which are generating waste, and, for example, developing faster methods of production which can guarantee better results and time and energy-‐savings”. “Our plans for the waste reduction” -‐ he added – “have already obtained surprising results, reducing by 95% the global amount of waste and saving the 30% of raw material for each production”.
Gnova collects the production waste, grinds it and then reinserts it back into the production process, improving its efficiency. Certified tests show that ReGreen reinforcement improves the structural quality of the reinforced item, increasing Greensir®’s quality and improving its characteristics.
ReGreen reinforcement
Gnova and ReGreen are the suitable solutions for all customers which want to cut the high waste disposal costs. It guarantees a concrete and significant advantage. We discovered that there was nothing similar on the market, nothing which could allow us to recycle the waste and create new Greensir® in a faster and less expensive way. So we collaborated with our R&D department in order to develop a system which could satisfy these needs. And ReGreen meets all these requirements.
A new approach to production
Gnova is a crucial factor for developing a new Sirtek’s approach to production: a step forward which allows to reconvert and recreate a product which has already reached the final stage of its life instead of sending it to the garbage dump. By cutting the waste disposal costs, this kind of production process could ensure great savings to the company, leading to more investment in personnel development, in new machinery, in production process and in company policy. Constant improvements and innovation paying attention to environmental protection are the characteristics that distinguishes Sirtek on market.
