Environmental responsibility
Silvalac, as a company belonging to the Armando Alvarez Group of Companies, adopts as its own the principles and values that guide and support the Group regarding the environment and its protection, conservation and improvement.
In agreement with the above and with its commitment to improve the environment and to optimise natural resource consumption, Silvalac works continuously to develop and implement techniques and applications that will reduce waste during the production stage, promoting recyclability and/or reuse.
Given this environmental commitment, Silvalac supports the European, National and Autonomous Community Legislative proposals on Waste Management, Reuse, Recycling and Energy Recovery, in all their aspects and lines of action. Accordingly with the legislative principles established on environmental issues, Silvalac is an active party in the Integrated Management Systems for the proper processing of plastic waste from containers and packaging placed on the market.
This is a resource optimisation strategy that is comprised within a comprehensive focus on global waste management within the organisation.
Our Mission
Silvalac’s industrial and services activity is aimed at an environmentally sustainable development and corporate ethical responsibility.
