The enterprise has fully vertically integrated its manufacturing process as the result of targeted investments.

The investment proposed by the enterprise aims at an overall intervention in this manufacturing process by adopting an innovative manufacturing method that would result in a high-quality, absolutely environmentally friendly product.

More specifically, the purchase of production equipment (oven, gear pump, extruder, industrial cooler, propylene fibre cutting machine) would result in a reduction in raw materials consumed, use of recycled rather than primary materials, eradication of fibre residue during the manufacturing process, eradication of water consumption, reduction of energy and packaging materials consumed and, finally, recovery of raw materials from brushes that have completed their life cycle. Furthermore, the implementation of the environmental management system according to the ISO 14001 standard will result in the creation of company operational processes that aim at protecting the environment.

In conclusion, the proposed investment contributes substantially towards improving the environmental footprint and environmental profile of the enterprise, as well as its competitiveness. The production of environmentally friendly, high quality fibres with the incorporation of eco-innovation practices will result in increased competitiveness and the production of environmentally friendly products.
