Sustainability and resource renewal
Preserve an ecological balance by reducing the impact of all our activities on the environment.
OUR APPROACH
Natural resources are not infinite. Fauna, flora, water, air and soil, essential to our life on earth, are in continuous degradation. Based on this observation, at Avipro we strive to offer an ecological balance by reducing the impact of our activities. We are committed to developing our packaging to make it less harmful, to source our raw materials responsibly and to always innovate by designing eco-responsible projects to control and reduce our energy consumption, recycle our waste and treat our effluents.
CONTROL AND OPTIMISE OUR CONSUMPTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
ENERGY
- We reduce our energy consumption by using equipment that is less energy-intensive, while sensitising our employees to best practices
- We use renewable energy by equipping all our farms with solar water heaters
MANAGE OUR IMPACT ON FORESTS
- By using wood procured from sustainably managed forests and optimising our paper consumption
IMPROVE OUR PACKAGING
- Exit polystyrene: it will no longer be used in our packaging and will instead be replaced by a more durable and compostable material. Enter trays made of bagasse in December 2020.
- We are working on developing eco-friendly packaging alternatives for our other products.
REDUCE THE IMPACT OF OUR EFFLUENTS AND WASTE
TREAT OUR EFFLUENTS AND WASTEWATER
- 90% of the wastewater from our sites is treated; water purification systems will be installed on all our sites by 2023.
VALORISING OUR WASTE
- Organic waste from the slaughterhouse will be recycled in our factory, which is currently under construction and is scheduled to be operational in 2021.
- By recovering recyclable solid waste; all our sites are already equipped with waste sorting bins (paper, cardboard, plastic, batteries, neon lights, used oils) and waste is collected by approved recyclers.
