Carbon footprint of Plastika Skaza

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and livestock farming, contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. This has severe consequences for the environment, human health, and well-being and can lead to catastrophic environmental changes.

The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. To achieve this goal, GHG emissions must be halved by 2030 and climate neutrality reached by 2050. As a company deeply committed to sustainable development, Plastika Skaza actively contributes to these objectives.

GHG emissions intensity per revenue measures the amount of emissions per million euros of revenue and serves as an important indicator of a company's environmental efficiency. As revenue grows, the carbon footprint may increase, making it crucial to optimize processes and implement measures to reduce emission intensity.

The table below presents data on net revenue, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and GHG emission intensity for the period 2019–2024. In 2022 and 2023, emission intensity increased due to challenges in securing electricity from renewable sources.

The data for 2024 is now available:

  • Scope 1: 74.04 t CO₂
  • Scope 2: 47.35 t CO₂
  • Emission intensity: (74.04 + 47.35) / 38.020 million € = 3.19 t CO₂/million €

Plastika Skaza has set a goal to reduce the intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2025, compared to the base year 2019.

Year Revenue
(million EUR)
Scope 1 and 2 emissions [t CO2eq] Tensity
[t CO2/million EUR]
2019 36,2 212,0 5,9
2020 31,0 383,0 12,4
2021 38,7 220,7 5,7
2022 43,2 1481,1 34,3
2023 38,2 858,72 22,5

Carbon Intensity based on Revenue for Plastika Skaza.

To achieve this goal, we are implementing the following measures: reducing fossil fuel consumption, optimizing production processes, introducing digitalization, improving energy efficiency, increasing the use of renewable energy sources, and installing a solar power plant. As of January 1, 2024, we have been using 100% renewable energy, marking a significant milestone on our path to climate neutrality.

Additionally, at Plastika Skaza, we actively use sustainable materials such as bio-based fibers and recycled plastics, further reducing our carbon footprint.
