Plastic unfortunately carries a negative reputation and is often considered one of the most polluting elements in our environment and in our beloved nature. However, Dott.Gallina, along with all the polycarbonate manufacturing companies in Europe that are part of the EPSE association, is actively working to change this common perception.
The real issue is linked to the excessive use of single-use plastic items and their improper management when they are 'thrown away.' In response to this challenge, the new GreenPoli cellular sheet has been developed, characterized by an elegant translucent satin clear color. This innovative solution was designed with the intention of minimizing waste during our production processes, thanks to in-house granulation, thus leveraging the extraordinary chemical-physical properties of polycarbonate.
Through these efforts, Dott.Gallina not only promotes the responsible use of plastic, showing that with proper management, waste materials can instead become primary materials, but also extends the useful life of the final product to 20, 30, or even 40 years.
Reduction of production waste in Dott.Gallina facilities, which would otherwise require additional direct and indirect resources for disposal and transportation.
Lower demand and consumption of virgin fossil-based raw materials, resulting in re- duced granulation and transportation costs from extraction sites.
Lower energy consumption because 60% of the material used has already been processed and heated to reach the appropriate molecular state for chemical-mechanical performance
