Sustainability
Find out how we implement and practice sustainability.
The Environment
We receive very much from nature and we have the moral commitment to preserve it by acting sustainably. It is also our obligation to respect our workers, who do their jobs with great passion, and all our stakeholders, as they are the key to our success.
Our social responsibilities play an important role in our goals and in our strategies. Pettinatura di Verrone, therefore, measures its responsibility trough specific technical, social and environmental performance indicators; those KPI are reported in the Social and Environmental report of the Schneider Group.
Recycling
Waste water containing mainly organic matter and detergents is treated in our own water treatment plant.
A set of centrifuges extracts the wool grease from the waste water. Once refined the wool grease is used in the cosmetics industry (lanolin and derivatives), and in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries (cholesterol, vitamin E).
The mud and the sludge separated from the purified water are used as compost for farming.

Energy Efficiency
In the effort to save our energy bill and reduce our CO2 emissions, Pettinatura di Verrone built his cogeneration plant, a system that produces electricity and simultaneously extracts usefull heat and steam, which is used in our scouring line and for the heating.
