Materials consumption

The companies of the Capital Group of Grupa KĘTY S.A. have been reasonably using raw materials raw materials needed for production, striving to achieve optimal and effective solutions ensuring respect for natural resources. Most of the materials are purchased in Poland and the EU countries. Materials suppliers are subject to regular assessment, based on the assumed methods, which promotes partners following the sustainability idea. Below reported are the consumption values of materials used in the processes carried out by the Group companies.

As regards our products, we apply a product life cycle approach, focusing on the search for new ecological applications. In that area, we conduct our own research and collaborate with scientific centres. The control of raw materials consumption takes place in accordance with the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standard requirements.

The materials used by the FPS include: granulated plastic (PP, PE, PA, EVOH, etc.), aluminium foils, paper, plastic films (OPP, PET, PE, PA, etc.), paints, lacquers, adhesives and solvents. These materials are used to manufacture multi-layer plastic films, including high-barrier films, single- and multi-layer flexible laminates, including printed or coated ones. Prior to their purchase raw materials are verified for compliance with the requirements of the Food Law.

Compared to 2021, Grupa KĘTY S.A. has reduced primary aluminium consumption by 19%, and aluminium scrap by 12%. Similarly, at the ASS and the FPS materials consumption dropped as a result of manufacturing processes optimisation and production size reduction. The objective for the companies of Capital Group of Grupa KĘTY S.A. is to further minimise the consumption of materials per ton of product sold, and increase the share of recycled materials in products. An additional goal for FPS is to optimise the graphic art of packaging, so as to reduce the consumption of paints and lacquers.
