LimaCorporate complies with all environmental standards on pollution and energy efficiency, as is mandatory by law. We also go a step further by managing and controlling our environmental impacts every day.
Reducing the environmental pollution of our production processes is a priority. We constantly monitor the water and air pollution parameters, with the aim of ensuring a performance that is always better than the minimum legal requirements, managing to ensure pollution rates 50% below the limit and in many cases close to zero.
We also constantly monitor water consumption to avoid any form of waste.
All our industrial waste is strictly managed to avoid soil pollution and to ensure that everything is correctly sorted and managed by specialized operators in the waste disposal cycle.
In addition to the compliance with requirements mandated by law, both our Italian production plants are certified according to ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems.
We are also working on our recycling strategy. Focusing especially on our core material, titanium, we make sure that the titanium powder waste is recycled and reused to create new implants.
We believe in outdoing ourselves. Protecting the environment is a business imperative driven forward through our continuous research of new technologies to improve our environmental efficiency. We involve our people in environmental protection training and the company's eco-management system, controls our emissions, water consumption, and the waste management cycle.
In the future, we plan to double the self-generated solar energy in our HQ and transition to certified renewable supplied energy in our Italian production plants.
