Torrent Group<\/strong> is lending its support to the Plastics Europe<\/strong> #ChangingPlasticsforGood<\/strong><\/a> campaign which aims to make people more aware of the benefits to be found in increasing our use of plastic<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

At Torrent, we are aware of the advantages of using plastic and <\/strong>we believe that its invention and development marks an enormous step forward for humanity. We are also aware that everything currently related to the use of polymers<\/strong> and expanded polystyrene is often mistakenly associated with industrial production practises that are irresponsible for and harmful to our planet.<\/p>\n

That is why we have joined the #ChangingPlasticsforGood<\/strong>campaign, an initiative launched by the Plastics Europe<\/a> association, and supported in Spain by its subsidiary organization, ANAIP (Spanish Industrial Plastics Association), of which we are a member.<\/p>\n

#ChangingPlasticsforGood, a Plastics Europe campaign for sustainable production<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As stated, #ChangingPlasticsforGood is a Plastics Europe<\/strong> campaign whose objective, based on a strategy of communicating the values, principles and advantages of plastic, is to counteract the negative image that has gained precedence <\/em>in today’s society about the material.<\/p>\n

This campaign works across and uses all the links that are part of plastic\u2019s industrial chain, such as producers of packaging and containers as well as any other industry that includes the use of polymers<\/strong> in its production processes, as is the case with Torrent Group: we are plastic stoppers<\/em><\/strong> producers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In this sense, many of our non-refillable stoppers<\/strong> are made with some type of plastic (bioplastic, compostable or biodegradable plastic<\/a>), within the framework of our commitment towards sustainable industrial production. At Torrent, the sustainability<\/strong> of our production is a priority, to the point of being internationalised in the Company Mission and validated by our international certifications in  ISO<\/a> 9001 (Quality Management) and 14001 (Environmental Management), which attest to our way of carrying out production.<\/p>\n

Torrent supports #ChangingPlasticsforGood because we are convinced that the use of plastic is not the problem<\/em>, although we do agree that there should be regulations for its use. Just like our colleagues at ANAIP<\/strong> and Plastics Europe<\/strong>, we believe this material contains a large range of benefits and that true progress can be made by increasing people\u2019s awareness about a proper channelling of waste <\/em>for plastic.<\/p>\n

The circular economy concept has never been better applied: Reduce, Re-use, Recycle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some facts about plastic in Spain<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The economic and social importance of plastic is patently obvious through an analysis of the statistics. Here are some figures, just for a grasp of the importance of the topic we are discussing.<\/p>\n
