Green Chemistry: Sustainability at its finest

The commitment to sustainability is a cornerstone for us as a chemical company. Over the years, we have made an effort to work with renewable energies, significantly reducing our CO 2 emissions and our carbon footprint. Our raw materials have already experienced their transformation costs, and we also avoid waste by-products, reducing waste.

We use more and more green co-formulants of natural origin in our formulations, and we were the first to introduce the politainer in the agricultural market, reducing plastic by 60% compared to a standard container.

The guarantee of growing safely while respecting the rules

The numerous controls and certifications of all production processes are the result of complex procedures to guarantee excellence, which require a team of competent people dedicated to quality, safety, environment and product registrations.
