The negative impact of CO2 emissions on the environment and on human life it is no longer a prediction of the future. Poor air quality and extreme phenomena are just two of the serious consequences of pollution.
On a global scale, there is a steady increase in plastic consumption which, unfortunately, does not enter the recycling circuit, but reaches the environment, having a disastrous effect on the natural ecosystem.
The project initiated by GreenTech in 2018 - "Reducing CO2 emissions from PET recycling" - supports counteracting pollution caused by other companies by issuing value credits that offset the carbon footprint they leave through their activity.
GreenTech recycles PET packaging and manufactures new recycled plastic products. This process requires a considerably lower energy consumption compared to the manufacture of the same products from virgin inputs. The undeniable benefit obtained is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
GreenTech is the first company in Europe to implement the CO2 reduction project, producing: PET flakes, PET strap and r-PET granules.

By supporting this project, you advocate the protection of the environment, the improvement of the quality of life, but also the regional economy.
production of new resources through PET recycling ensures a reduction of CO2 emissions by 48% compared to the same process from virgin material
energy consumption is reduced by 30% compared to the need spent in the process of virgin material
fuel is reduced by up to 75% compared to the need spent in the production of virgin material
clean environment due to waste collection and preventing them from reaching rivers, lakes, forests, meadows
increasing employment opportunities for people in the region where the project takes place
regional economic development through income distribution, regional integration and connection with other sectors
developing local technical capacity by qualifying human resources in the region
community development by contributing in municipal funds for social insurance (pensions, health)
the development of civic sense through the power of example
The main investment directions of the funds obtained from the carbon credits issued are:
We invite all companies that carry out activities with a negative impact on the environment to support the project "Reducing CO2 emissions through PET recycling" by purchasing carbon certificates issued in compliance with the highest standards imposed by the European organizations.
