story image

Description

On the one hand, Castel, a prominent wine production company, utilizes glassine paper in the labeling process for its wine bottles. Glassine serves as a carrier material for labels, ensuring precision and quality in their application. However, once the labeling process is complete, the glassine is left over as a non-recyclable waste product, posing an environmental challenge. On the other hand, Soprema, an innovative company specializing in sustainable construction materials, has developed a patented process that transforms recycled glassine into high-quality wadding. This wadding can be used in various applications, giving new life to what was previously a waste product and creating a bridge between two industries for a more sustainable future.

Impact & Result

SOPRA offers an innovative solution that can achieve up to a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional production methods, significantly lowering the environmental impact of its production processes.

Solution Spotlight

SOPRA XPS is a highly resistant, highly moisture-proof, and easy-to-cut insulation. Made from up to 100% recycled materials, this insulation does not lose any of its insulating qualities. Ideal for all applications: roofs, walls, floors for indoors and outdoors, it can be used by an individual as well as a professional in new or renovation. The main objective of the SOPRA XPS solution is to provide a product recognized for its thermal performance and its specific characteristics but manufactured with a raw material that is largely recycled. And thus it offers a reliable, sustainable, and responsible solution for the planet while limiting its impact on the environment while giving a second life to already used products.
