The Piber Group promotes and supports numerous initiatives aimed at protecting natural resources, such as the project aimed at encouraging a correct disposal of packaging at the end of its life cycle the direct production  of energy from renewable sources and the use of environmentally friendly pallets.
Furthermore Piber is a founder member of CONAI (National Packaging Union) and of COREPLA (National Union for the Collection, Recycling and Recovery of Plastic Packaging Waste Products).

Piber Group has therefore developed a positive response to the problem of the environmental impact of plastic packaging since the 90s of the 20th century. This commitment has in fact materialized with the project that involved the separate collection of disposable dishes and dishes used by the communities. The industrial plant managed over 500 canteens for 10 million meals a year and allowed the recycling of approximately 600,000 kg / year of plastic material aimed, in the past, at increasing the flow of municipal waste destined for landfills. This environmental impact reduction activity earned Piberplast the “Eco Efficient Company 2000” award from the Lombardy Region and the Institute for the Environment, presented during the Meeting Meeting Ambiente 21 in Milan.

An environmental management system describes the processes, procedures and resources through which the company carries out its business, as well as the organizational structure itself, and has the aim of guaranteeing constant control – and where possible an improvement – of connections of production, and of production systems, with the environment.
An in-depth analysis of all the company processes gave rise to a “radiography” of the company, and allowed the compilation of a real environmental manual, where great attention is also paid to raising awareness of the staff employed. In fact, training meetings are planned on environmental issues in order to acknowledge and welcome what is a social responsibility.

Piber Group Lampografica division has chosen to certify its products as FSC® products to consolidate respect for the environmental, social and economic interests of the world’s FSC® forests.

One hectare “grown” of photovoltaic panels is one of the largest installations providing energy from renewable sources. With an area of approximately 11,500 square meters, the photovoltaic installation of PIBERPLAST in Voghera began operations in December 2008, it is the largest in the province of Pavia and the second in Lombardy.
Piberplast solar installation can provide about 700,000 kWh per year and, above all, allows the source, the energy producer, a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of around 420 tons.
The peak power available is up to 567 kWp.
From February 2011 the photovoltaic system of the Lampografica Division is online, the peak power is 93.6 kWp.
