🌍 “Climate action beyond rhetoric: a call to governments and industries” The 2024 Emissions Gap Report by UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) reports a worrying situation for global emissions reductions, calling for urgent need for stronger action by states and industries. 👉This report was released just before COP29, the international climate change summit scheduled for November 2024, and highlights how, despite years of agreements and promises, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. This highlights a now undeniable truth: the gap between sustainability promises and the reality of concrete actions remains wide. 👉At SERMAG, we resonate with this call to action. We are proud to have undertaken an LCA and Carbon Footprint analysis of our products, carried out by Proplast with the invaluable collaboration of Marco Monti. That will soon to be certified by IMQ, to help drive our commitment toward a circular and sustainable production model, minimizing the environmental impact of our industry. By working with recycled plastics, we demonstrate daily that the industry can evolve, and contribute to a positive environmental impact. ♻️ Sustainability must be a priority across all industries, making 2024 a pivotal year for change. 🚨 Now more than ever, concrete action must replace words—the time for talk is over. #Sermag #SustainabilityMatters #SustainableFuture #CircularEconomy #CarbonFootprint #LCA #IMQ #COP29 #EmissionsGapReport #ClimateCommitment #UNEP

One year ago we joined young talent to talk about a sustainable future 🌍 Last October was a special moment for us at SERMAG, when our CEO, Andrea Rosmino, had the honour of attending an event at the university dedicated to the topics of environment, climate and virtuous recycling. Together with industry experts and influential figures, Andrea Rosmino shared the crucial importance of our work in recycling plastics and promoting a circular economy.  In front of over 400 students, it was a pleasure to discuss practical solutions to combat pollution and reduce environmental impact. 👉 At SERMAG, we firmly believe that recycling is much more than an industrial process. It is a choice that profoundly influences the future of our planet. ♻️ Every day we strive to give new life to polymers, transforming what would be considered waste into valuable materials that can be reused, particularly in the packaging industry. It is not only a question of sustainability, but also of innovation: our work contributes to creating high quality products while reducing dependence on virgin raw materials and carbon emissions. The meeting with the students was a valuable opportunity for us to listen to and engage with those who represent the future. Their questions and ideas reminded us how essential it is to invest in the younger generation to fuel change. 🧑🎓The enthusiasm and curiosity of the young people encourage us to continue with determination on our path towards a more sustainable world, working every day to perfect our recycling processes and to support the circular economy. Reflecting with them on the importance of responsible waste management has been mutually enriching. We hope to continue to be inspired by these younger generations, with whom we share the same vision of a greener world. 🌱 Thank you to all students and event partners for the opportunity! #Environment #CircularEconomy #PlasticRecycling #YoungMinds #SustainableFuture #VirtuousRecycling #Sermag #CircularPlastics #CircularEconomy
