Environmental sustainability

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Environmental protection is a central objective for FKgroup, which provides its customers with the best technologies for the protection of nature and energy saving.

FKgroup considers the sustainability of its products and their high performance to be a key aspect of success.

Working side by side with our customers, we strive to produce more and more environmentally and energy efficient tailor-made cutting and spreading machines.

The desire to promote commercial choices that are effective, efficient and compatible with environmental values, along with the presence of customers sensitive to this issue, has encouraged the development of new techniques in recent years that can reduce electricity consumption and halve CO2 emissions.

Today, at FKgroup we are able to offer state-of-the-art solutions based on science and green technology which can save up to 300% electricity and generate up to 40 tons less CO2 than our competitors.

In addition to producing machinery certified by TÜV SÜD Italia with IDCL of 100 and 95, FKgroup has created with this independent certification body MEP – Machine Energy Protocol.

Because of this protocol, it is now possible to verify the environmental respect and the energy impact of cutting machines for fabrics, leather and synthetics.

FKgroup is ACIMIT’s ‘Supplier of Sustainable Technologies’.

For FKgroup, sustainability is a driving force for innovation.

The group is aware of the energy impact not only of the machines it produces, but also of those it uses. That’s why FKgroup has replaced less ecological equipment and machinery with other, more modern and efficient ones over the years. We prefer to use tools and production processes that guarantee a saving in terms of energy whenever possible.

The group adheres to the Sustainable Technologies project, committing itself to the Memorandum of Understanding between ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Manufacturers of Machinery for the Textile Industry, and its member companies for the promotion of sustainable technologies in the sector.

The aim of this project is to develop and foster the commitment of Italian textile machinery manufacturers in the search for sustainable, ecologically efficient and effective solutions.

FKgroup has been certified with the green ACIMIT label, which underlines the energy and/or environmental performance of the machines subject to labelling and which comes from RINA, an international certification body on the basis of a standardised and certified procedure.
