EUROJERSEY was the first in the textile industry to declare its environmental footprint with the PEF, Product Environmental Footprint, relating to the impact data of its production process. By adhering to the PEF, EUROJERSEY has achieved competitive advantages in the supply chain, acting on environmental aspects and controls with full product traceability.
EUROJERSEY has always been committed to integrating sustainability into its corporate strategy through the SensitivEcoSystem® programme, and since 2007 it has been implementing a series of exemplary behaviours and actions across the entire production process.
From the 100% renewable energy certified in 2008 to the first photovoltaic system in 2011, to the replacement of diathermic oil machinery for fabric thermo-fixing with new methane gas systems (2015-2019) and the installation of 9 new looms in the weaving department with high-efficiency motors in 2017. The new thermal power plant built between 2018 and 2019, the construction of the solar photovoltaic system for the shipping warehouse and the new washing system after the printing process have enabled the company to save further resources.
Thanks to the consolidation of investments in the production process made between 2016 and 2021, EUROJERSEY has changed its corporate DNA to making it ever more sustainable, reviewing its environmental impact and bringing it to a stage of true efficiency with significant results: energy -18% kWh/kg, water -23% l/kg, natural gas -16% scm/kg. Moreover, there has been a 46% increase in kgs of textiles produced between 2016 and 2021.
What are EUROJERSEY’s objectives for the five years period 2021-2026?
The Company will strive to reduce water consumption by -20%, CO2 emissions by -15% per unit of product and will work on the regeneration of production waste with the aim of giving Sensitive® Fabrics a new lease of life.
With the SensitivEcoSystem® programme, the Company has introduced Ecoprint printing technology, which offers significant aesthetic and, above all, environmental advantages. The coloured pigments are able to create the design directly on the Sensitive® Fabrics and allow a reduction in the consumption of water (-60%), energy (-30%) and greenhouse gas emissions (-60%) compared to traditional printing.
