5 • ENERGY MANAGEMENT


Continuous improvement

As part of our energy management system (ISO 50001:2018), we are constantly looking for ways to improve our energy efficiency.

We now use CO2-neutral hydroelectric power. 

The bulk of our energy requirements is natural gas, used to clean the air extracted from production by thermal post-combustion at over 700 degrees. However, the heat released is reused in production, for example :

  • to dry the inks via heat exchangers
  • to generate hot water via conversion systems

This energy management preserves the environment from unnecessary waste heat.

Energy technology is constantly evolving, and we are working on complementary systems that will enable us to limit or even eliminate our need for natural gas in the future.
