GREEN
SOUL

For 30 years in the food & beverage sector we have been using glazes without heavy metals and we only use water-based paints, without solvents. Our vocation for development and research has led us to patent organic colours and highly sustainable techniques, such as OKT and OKJ, without sacrificing high levels of resistance to washing and product brilliance. Avoiding pollution, with low consumption brushless electric motors, electric lehrs and closed-cycle satin finishing plants.We reduce our impact with LED-lit factories, powered by photovoltaic panels, cooled with the help of large windows. Green architectures, designed for the well-being of the planet and collaborators.

For Cerve, industry leadership comes with responsibilities.

We are called to play a pioneering role in technological innovation and to devote exemplary attention to the environment and society. With our actions we pursue the sustainability and well-being of our collaborators, anticipating any regulatory obligation. From raw materials to the smallest organizational and managerial choices.

Our “green” glass
decalogue of Cerve responsability

• Our products are made of glass, a material that is 100% recyclable and reusable for ever.
• With our glass products we help free the planet and the sea from the invasion of single-use plastics.
• In the Group’s glass factory, 100% of the waste from the production process is ground and used to lower the melting temperature and save energy. The furnace that melts our glass is 100% electric and is powered by hydroelectric energy: the process is therefore completely sustainable.
• We have been using organic glazes for 30 years and we only use water-based paints, without solvents.
• Our vocation for development and research has led us to patent organic colors and highly sustainable techniques, such as OKT and OKJ, without sacrificing high levels of resistance to washing and product brilliance.
• We invest in the development of glazes that require lower firing temperatures to reduce our energy impact.
• We respect the environment by using low-consumption brushless electric motors and electric lehrs in our factories.
• We avoid polluting with closed-cycle satin finishing systems.
• We reduce our impact with LED-lit factories, powered by photovoltaic panels, cooled with the help of large windows. Green architectures, designed for the well-being of the planet and collaborators.
• Our factories were already designed 15 years ago to guarantee ergonomics, low noise and employee comfort. The importance we attach to human resources, in workspaces and individual enhancement, translates into very low turnover and a widespread sense of belonging.
