EcoVadis has awarded the SOMATER Group a Gold rating for its CSR management system, and this result is attributable to each of the Group’s employees.

We are very proud to be among the top 8% of companies in terms of CSR performance.

We would like to thank our clients who encourage us on a daily basis on the path of renewed social and environmental responsibility.

This milestone invites us to go further in our mission to reinvent polymer packaging. It also gives us the opportunity to recall the three ambitions that drive it:

• To retain eco-design as the code of conduct for our action,
• To develop responsible human and industrial resources,
• To measure and share our approach to guarantee its effectiveness.

You will find more details on our approach in our 2020-2021 CSR report available here.

The “Industry Week” was held from November 22 to 26. On this occasion, Plastuni Normandie went to meet college students from the Dieppe region.

This event under the theme “inventing a sustainable future” aimed to present and strengthen the attractiveness of local industry but also to raise awareness among young people about the different kind of jobs the industry sector has to offer.

This was an opportunity for Plastuni Normandie to show how the company contributes to the protection of the environment through eco-design. “We produce plastic bottles, but they are recycled and recyclable materials. We have also reduced the amount of plastic used by decreasing the thickness of the containers. We are committed to protecting the environment” specifies Angélique DELAMAERE, plant manager.

Plastuni Lisses has just developed, in partnership with Fleurance Nature, the first European tube that is eco-designed through material reduction.

With 28% less weight compared to market standards of 300µ, this ultra-light tube is made of 220/11 PEHD. It is fully recyclable and significantly reduces the consumption of raw materials.

Already distinguished by a Recyclass certification, we are aiming with this new lightweight laminate for ISCC+ certification. Another concrete illustration of the SOMATER group’s commitment to the circular economy.

In partnership with the Rocher Group, Huhtamaki and LyondellBasel, Somater (PUL) is preparing to launch a new generation of laminated tubes with more than 40% recycled raw material.

Composed of renewable raw materials, certified according to the international ISCC+ standard, these new tubes represent a major advance in eco-design and are compatible with current and future envi-ronmental requirements.

This new advance fits perfectly with SOMATER’s commitment to promote the circular economy and re-duce its impact on CO2 emissions.

A big thank you to our partners with whom we are co-building the solutions of tomorrow.
