Definition
Reduction of 15% in total energy consumption (for < 1 kWh/kg plastic)
Attainment level
Goal 80% achieved
Reason
The goal was 80% achieved as there was an increase in energy-intensive technology.
Definition
Reduction of 20% in CO2 equivalent emission intensity (for < 0.40 kg CO2 equiv./kg plastic)
Attainment level
Goal 55% achieved
Reason
The goal was 55% achieved as we experienced increased growth in countries with carbon-intensive electricity production.
Definition
Increase of 50% in the production of renewable energies
Attainment level
Goal 50% achieved
Reason
We generated 5.5 GWh of electrical energy with our photovoltaic systems in 2018, meaning we achieve 50% of our goal. More photovoltaic systems are in the pipeline.
Definition
Reduction of 40% in fresh water consumption per tonne of material (0.45 m³/t plastic)
Attainment level
Goal 100% achieved
Reason
We succeeded in achieving this goal thanks to the systematic use of closed-cycle heat exchangers. We intend to continue to reduce our water consumption.
Definition
Increase in the proportion of recycled materials used by a further 50% (HDPE 50% and PET 50%)
Attainment level
Goal 150% achieved
Reason
Increased demand for recycled materials has allowed us to already use a lot more recycled materials than originally planned. We achieved and exceeded this goal too.
Definition
Reduction of 20% in material intensity
Attainment level
Goal 50% achieved
Reason
We achieved 50% of this goal. While we did manage to increase our material intensity, this wasn’t as efficient as planned. This was attributable among other things to changes in the product portfolio and the efficiency of individual production plants.
