We implement an eco-friendly production cycle by using compostable<\/strong> and partly bio-based<\/strong> raw materials.<\/p>\n

We adopt the principles of green chemistry<\/strong> and circular economy<\/strong> by using processes with a low environmental impact, as an act of responsibility towards future generations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”padding-top-50″][vc_column][vc_tta_tour style=”flat” color=”white” active_section=”1″ el_class=”accordion-chi-siamo”][vc_tta_section title=”Value proposition” tab_id=”value_proposition”][box_header title=”VALUE PROPOSITION” bottom_border=”1″ class=”align-left”][vc_column_text el_class=”padding-top-30″]Forerunners<\/strong>
\nSince 1995<\/strong> we have been experimenting with biodegradable Mater-Bi\u00ae<\/strong> products, anticipating the demands of the market.
\nToday, we produce compostable packaging that feeds the planet.<\/p>\n

Innovation as a vision<\/strong>
\nWe are constantly refining our production processes<\/strong> by taking unexplored paths to produce sustainable and safe products with high added value<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Circular supply chain<\/strong>
\nWe mainly use local resources<\/strong> and carry out the entire production cycle<\/strong> in-house to ensure a high quality standard of the finished product.<\/p>\n

Valuable networks<\/strong>
\nWe take inspiration from the customer’s needs to develop new ideas, involving suppliers<\/strong> in the analysis and production process.<\/p>\n

The people<\/strong>
\nThe company’s know-how lies in the skills of our employees<\/strong>. Their development and protection are the key to our success.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Strategy” tab_id=”strategy”][box_header title=”STRATEGY” bottom_border=”1″ class=”align-left”][vc_column_text]Anything that cannot be measured, cannot be improved.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our goal is to be an industry leader in the development of sustainable and innovative packaging, able to attract talented professionals who share our vision, and engage and listen to our partners.<\/p>\n

1. RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, from the production sites to the areas where our products are used, by choosing responsible and competent partners.<\/p>\n

2. PROTECTION OF PEOPLE, from safety to appreciation and development of each person\u2019s skills, the true cornerstone of the company\u2019s know-how.<\/p>\n

3. CONSTANT CHECKS AND MONITORING, to ensure reliable processes, high-quality products and continuous improvement.<\/p>\n

4. COMPETENCE, to ensure cutting-edge technological and organisational solutions while complying with legal requirements related to processes and products.<\/p>\n

For each of these aspects, we involve all stakeholders to promote a working culture of excellence and innovation as a whole. Moreover, we seek continuous improvement in each project by developing a simple, effective and efficient Integrated Management model that minimises any form of waste.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Company policy” tab_id=”company-policy”][box_header title=”COMPANY POLICY” bottom_border=”1″ class=”align-left”][vc_column_text]The flexibility to meet the different needs of the customers and its transparent way of acting make Polycart a reliable partner able to guarantee total and constant quality.<\/em><\/p>\n
