We operate responsibly at Prost-Key
At PROST-KEY Packaging, we are aware that our actions affect the planet. We strive to work to minimize the negative impact on the environment.
When designing our packaging, we use the principle of limiting the use of raw materials. We use raw materials from certified sources (FSC® certificate) as well as from recycled materials.
For years, we have been ensuring proper waste segregation. Unused sheets and production waste are pressed and then returned to a paper mill for recycling.
We strive to make our production process and products as environmentally friendly as possible.
