Safripol’s Sustainability Strategy

Plastic is a highly functional and useful material with unmatched properties to alternatives. Almost everything we use, touch or interact with has plastic in it, from the gowns our surgeons wear, to the lifesaving medical equipment, to the cars we drive, the aircrafts that make commercial flights affordable, to the cellphones we hold in our hands, to the televisions that keeps us up to date, to the clothes on our back.  The truth is, in a lot of ways, plastic actually makes the world a better, safer place, without which modern civilisation as we know it today would cease to exist. 

The elephant in the room however which cannot be ignored is plastic waste. Plastic pollution and climate change is today the mega challenges facing the industry. As a polymer producer, Safripol has an important leadership role to play towards changing the plastics narrative, and driving forward a circular industry, one that is sustainable and one which embraces society and the environment as key enablers of its economic growth. But to achieve this we need systems level change, new business models, new innovations, fit for purpose technologies and value-chain partnerships.

We are leaders when it comes to the cause of using plastic responsibly. We are fundamentally opposed to littering, dumping, over-packaging and pollution of any kind. We are for plastic recycling, re-use, innovation and the environment.

We are the responsible polymer partners to our customers and clients.

We are active in the movement against plastic pollution.
