Natural environment

PRODUCTOS CODINA S.A. has a clear concern for sustainable development to contribute to the respect and preservation of the environment. That is why we are the first company to have 5-litre bottles with PCR (Post Consumed Recycled material). With this we show our contribution to the circular economy.

With the same objective of contributing to the preservation of the environment, the formulas for laundry detergents have been improved, which has allowed to reduce the dose of detergent for each wash (following EU recommendations).

This decrease in doses has the following advantages:

1. The consumption of detergent by the consumer is lower, which represents a significant saving.

2. The amount of detergent that goes into the sewer after each wash is lower, which represents a decrease in the chemicals that are removed.

3. Using less detergent, it can be eliminated better in the procés of rinsing. This means that there are fewer traces of detergent left on clothes, improving their softness, and avoiding allergy problems, itching because of debris

PRODUCTOS CODINA S.A. recycles water used in production processes.

For years, when a product has just been manufactured and packaged, all the water used in the cleaning process is stored in a container. Then, when the product is remanufactured, we mix tap water with the wash water we have stored. Therefore, with very little investment, two advantages are obtained: on the one hand, no wastewater is generated that could harm the environment, and on the other hand, water consumption is reduced.  

The sensitivity of PRODUCTOS CODINA, S.A. towards the care and improvement of the environment and the focus of a management committed to the environment have led the company to achieve:

- The UNE-EN ISO 14001 certification granted by AENOR

- We have been made a member of the Charter for Sustainability 

YEAR 2023

Some of the environmental aspects measured and analysed with respect to other companies that are also part of the Charter are the following:

In the 2023 evaluation, two significant environmental aspects have appeared: One is the fuel consumption of commercial vehicles, as this is a figure that did not exist in previous years.

On the other hand, the Kg/Tn of packaging waste has increased compared to previous years due to a different count, due to changes in legislation.

The main causes of these favorable values for Codina Products are the fact that all our production processes are done in cold and the recycling of washing water, which has been discussed above,

The main causes of these favourable values ​​for Productos Codina are the fact that all our production processes are done cold and the recycling of washing water, which has been discussed above,

As for waste, the amount produced is low because many suppliers collect used packaging for reuse.

In conclusion, the environmental values ​​of our company are much better than the average of the Charter companies (where all the large and medium-sized European companies in the sector are represented), which indicates that our environmental policy is well on track.
