Moving forward to create a more sustainable future

At Baixens we continue to deploy actions with the aim of significantly reducing the environmental impact of our products throughout their life cycles, from the sourcing of the raw materials through to the end of their service lives.

Likewise, since our beginnings, we have always been very clear that health is a social aspect upon which we must have an impact as a company. Our actions as part of society have an impact on the health of both our employees and all human life, as environmental health and human health are closely linked.

Sustainable actions

Among the actions we have carried out in 2022, we would like to highlight the following:

- Use of Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic packaging

These containers are made from plastic waste from household, industrial, commercial and agricultural consumption and, in turn, allow for subsequent recycling. Currently, 70% of our packaging is of this nature, and we plan to achieve 100% in the very short term.

- Implementation of photovoltaic panels in all our facilities

As a result, 80% of the energy used in all our manufacturing processes comes from renewable sources. In a second phase, which is already underway, we plan to install the rest of the photovoltaic panels to ensure that 100% of the energy used by Baixens is renewable.

- Complete renewal of the electric forklift fleet

The new fleet is equipped with lithium batteries, which make them more durable and environmentally-friendly as they allow for extra-fast charging and do not generate or emit any polluting gases. It is also designed to ensure the safety of our workers.

- Renewal of our truck fleet with I-Save technology

The incorporation of this technology reduces fuel consumption in long-haul operations. A fleet of vehicles equipped with this technology was procured in 2022.

- Installation of a free electric recharging station for employees, collaborators, customers, etc.
