Eco-responsible projects

Our first eco-responsible project was our own organization!

“We had treasure behind our plant and nobody had seen it…”
The solution to our material quality problems lay in our recycling skips. We weren’t doing anything with our production waste except paying to have it removed.
What happens to our waste? Where does it go? Who takes care of it? No one could give us a clear answer about the recycling chain.

Once we’d sorted our waste and gathered the minimum quantities, we started looking for suppliers capable of transforming our waste into raw materials. Very few accepted the challenge.

PANATERE took more than four years to find the overall process, as well as the right qualitative formula with no added chemicals or minerals. Since then, we’ve been working to create new materials and new concepts for other customers seeking out our network of processors and partners ready to use eco-materials.

Here are just a few of our success stories:

• Setting up a regional collection and sorting network for production waste.
• Obtaining “100% recycled waste” accreditation for the medical and watchmaking steels we use.
• A transformation process that is traceable at all times and guaranteed free of ore and raw materials.
• For the first time in this sector: the development of a “Solar Steel” using an industrial solar furnace.
• Thanks to the support of public subsidies for the environment, our ‘recycled solar’ model has been able to develop to the point where it is in line with market prices.
• What’s more, it’s a socially responsible and sustainable investment.
