Bencore environmental policy and results achieved
In all of our business activities we care of the global environment by promoting environmental preservation strategies. Bencore wants to:
1. Contribute to the development of technologies and production processes that follow the main environmental preservation principles
2. Consider the environmental impact when developing new products
3. Reduce the waste quantity and energy consumption
What is Bencore real contribution to these subjects?
In the latest years we reached the following results:

1. Better manufacturing effciency: Bencore drastically reduced the scraps, which are recycled, using less quantity of raw material for its manufacturing processes

2. Less impact on installation: Bencore panels are structural and reduce the need of using support’s profles: high effciency, less working-time and less waste in case of demolition or replacement

3. Lightweight, stiffness, translucency and design are the essential features of Bencore products:
Lightweight - less consumptions - less pollution in shipping
Stiffness - structural (see above point 2.)
Translucency - sunlight reduces the need for artifcial lighting

4. Respect of European and Italian environmental laws which are among the most rigid worldwide

5. Recycling: at the end of their life, our panels can be entirely recycled (both the Acrylic and the Polycarbonate and SAN sheets)

6. Panels re-usability: our panels can be re-used. A plasterboard or bricks wall when demolished must be entirely thrown away and eventually re-built

7. Promotion of the environmental preservation consciousness among Bencore staff, through learning activities:
· 95% suppliers and clients correspondence is by e-mail rather than by fax
· Use of recycled paper
· Our brochures, technical sheets and other promotional material is available online
· Paper for promotional material is made of recycled paper
· Our Administrative area use last generation software which allows to minimize printed paper use.
