Results to Date
We believe businesses have a vital role in building a more sustainable future. At Flambeau, we actively reduce energy consumption and resource use to support long-term environmental goals.
Since 2009, we’ve taken part in the Climate Change Agreement for the plastics industry, managed by the Environment Agency. As part of this programme, we committed to reducing our Specific Energy Consumption (SEC)—a measure of the energy used to process each kilogram of plastic.
Thanks to continuous effort and innovation, we’ve not only met these targets but exceeded them. We’re now in Phase 2 of the agreement and continue to improve our efficiency each year. This progress clearly shows our dedication to responsible plastic manufacturing and long-term energy savings.
