Sustainable development
For Soreal, sustainable development is a major, ongoing part of our growth.
This is illustrated in very concrete terms by our recycling of treated effluents in the agricultural sector, by reducing and sorting waste, by adopting a circular approach to packaging (recyclability and research with partners), by showing a preference for short supply channels for our raw materials, and by developing privileged partnerships to supply organically-farmed products.
Tangible actions to protect our environment.
Reusing our waste
To recover and recycle our waste products, we use 8 different service providers :
- In our offices, Soreal sorts and recycles with Recygo, in order to reuse (recycled) paper, cups, bottles and cans.
- Boxes, pallets, plastics and maintenance waste are also recycled.
- We fully reuse our water thanks to a partnership with farmers from the surrounding area, which is an example of our strong local presence.
- In 2018, SARIA took our non-compliant products, which accounted for 2% of our production, which were used to power 21 households by using a methanization process.
Optimizing our energy
-
LED light bulbs use 8-10 times less energy on average than classic light bulbs, and they are gradually being installed at Soreal premises
-
An economizer has been placed in our water heater to increase the water temperature and reduce gas consumption.
