Let's remember that we are the environment... Let's respect it!

Earth Day, world Earth Day, is the moment in which we celebrate the environment and the protection of our planet.

Earth Day was recently celebrated, the day on which the protection of the environment and our planet is celebrated throughout the world.

It is the ideal opportunity to discuss the problems that afflict the Earth: pollution, the destruction of ecosystems, the consequent disappearance of animals and plants, the depletion of non-renewable resources and the rise in temperatures are just the main ones, but not the only ones.

We are discussing solutions that could drastically reduce the negative effects of human activities, such as better recycling of materials, conservation of natural resources, ban on the use of harmful products, safeguarding fundamental habitats such as forests and oceans, protection of endangered or threatened species.

In a now totally globalized world, everyone in their own "small" way is called to act to contribute to improving the conditions our planet finds itself in, to ensure that the future can still present a totally livable environment.

For us at Zoccarato, who operate every day in the field of powder coating, liquid coating, cataphoresis, sealing and sandblasting, this is a particularly sensitive issue: we have always been committed to respecting the environment and to the search for a "modus operandi" which, improving year after year, increasingly leads to the use of eco-sustainable raw materials, the use of renewable energy, the correct disposal of waste and the reuse of raw materials not fully exploited through a modern internal recycling system. Sustainability is not an option, but a value that we carry forward with pride.

In concrete terms, among the various initiatives we have undertaken, we include the energy with which we carry out our internal processes: all our activity is carried out using only energy from renewable sources coming from the hydroelectric power plants of the Dolomites. This is an energy efficiency improvement that guarantees a reduction in energy consumption and therefore CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

From this perspective, we are happy to celebrate an important result for the year 2019: thanks to "100 % Energia Pulita Dolomiti Energia" we avoided 905.5552 tons of CO2 and thanks to "GAS 100% Compensa CO2" we offset 536.3543 tons of CO2.

To produce one kilowatt hour of electricity, fossil fuels are burned and consequently significant quantities of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere. The production of clean energy avoids the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere. By using energy from renewable sources, we contribute to improving the environment in which we live and guaranteeing a better future for new generations.

The CO2 savings referred to the year 2019.

The production and consumption of gases are among the main causes of the greenhouse effect, emitting significant quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere. With “Gas 100% Offsets CO2” we have been able to offset the carbon dioxide emissions linked to the consumption of natural gas. In this way, we offset our CO2 emissions caused by the use of natural gas through the co-financing of an ad hoc project, balancing the score with nature.

We are aware that the road is still long and that everyone can do more, but achieving these goals gives us the right push to improve further. Let's remember that we are the environment... Let's respect it!
