Our commitment to sustainability starts with our processes. We continuously invest in advanced technologies that enable us to operate in a more energy-efficient way. Our production methods are carefully designed to make the best use of raw materials while minimizing waste.
Warm feeling
At Proferro, we believe that a fundamental part of sustainability involves reusing and recycling materials. Here, high-tech parts are made from materials that are at least 80% recycled. Therefore, it involves utilizing steel scrap from the metal and construction sectors, to save it from consignment to waste. We process this scrap metal into high-quality cast iron, which is a metal that is 100% recyclable while retaining its exceptional strength and flexibility. Our efforts are focused on minimizing our ecological footprint and promoting a circular economy.
Sustainable partnership
We strive to be a leader, not only in our own sector but also within the wider community in which we operate. We work with local stakeholders, experts, and partners, with whom we share knowledge, promoting powerful initiatives and methodologies, as well as developing shared solutions that make the industry as a whole more sustainable.
