Who We Are > Ecology
Paper, a natural product, is now universally linked with such ideological notions as nature, simplicity, recyclability and ecology, and such aesthetic notions as lightness, abstraction, conceptualism. These values cross the boundaries of regional cultures. Vertical integration allows Sonoco Alcore - Demolli to self-produce its raw material, drawns integrally from recycled paper. Therefore Sonoco represents an interesting example of a company totally based on recycling of waste paper, with decades of advance respect to the present reorganisation. Sonoco is active in all the stages of the process: from gathering waste paper, for which it has an agreement with some Italian towns, to recycling its own refixed waste, to recycling used cores and of other paper wastes from other plants.
The paper mill of Cirič, moreover, is equipped with an advanced plant for process water treatment and reimmission. The principle of the process, however, does not imply the use of dangerous chemicals.
Paper-converting industries are particularly clean and do not use dangerous materials in the manufacturing process. But it is the philosophy of Sonoco Alcore - Demolli's own group, based upon recycling, on the use of clean raw materials and on energy saving, whose natural trend is to be well harmonised with the environment.
