Discarded Parts: We should like to inform you that in the event parts shipped have to be discarded, they become non-hazardous waste (provided they are not impregnated with hazardous chemical substances), and as such should be treated via delivery to an authorised agent for recycling, thereby complying with current legislation at all times. In cases where the parts have been in contact with hazardous chemical substances, they must be treated as hazardous waste for safety reasons and delivered to an authorised agent, thereby complying with current legislation at all times.

CONSOLIDATION OF OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT IN 2022 & 2023

As part of our resource optimization policy and with the aim of minimizing the environmental impact of our productive activity, in 2021 we reduced our oil consumption for component manufacturing by 8%. In addition, in 2022, we achieved a 33% reduction in plastic bags and 21% in cardboard boxes, used in our product packaging.

In 2021 we began the gradual elimination of internal combustion machinery, consolidated in 2022 with the acquisition of new electric forklifts. In 2023 we reached a major milestone in our electrification objective with the installation of solar panels that enabled us to guarantee that a large part of the electricity consumed in our production processes, came from clean sources.

Oja-Rem is committed to the generation of renewable energy with a photovoltaic self-consumption installation of 310.80 kWp.

This new platform will enable us to achieve energy savings, improve competitiveness, increase energy self-sufficiency and contribute to the environment by producing sustainable energy.

This self-consumption PV project was co-financed through the “self-consumption and storage with renewable energy sources” and the “implementation of renewable thermal systems in the residential sector” incentive programs, within the “Recovery and Resilience Facility”, NextGenerationEU, European Union funds.
