Silga is continuously committed in the application of sustainable initiatives to reduce its impact on the environment and to allow the creation of a greener future. To do so, Silga Beyond Surfaces and Silga Industries as a whole, have undertaken several actions such as the introduction of the Selenium free finishing, the implementation of a new system of photovoltaic panels and of our biological purifier, as well as the replacement of high-efficiency electrical devices to ensure lower consumption.
Thanks to the continuous researches conducted by its Technological Study Center (TSC), Silga has developed a new finishing, totally free from selenium, 100% Made in Silga, that allows to achieve an antique effect on objects characterized by previous brass, copper and nickel free plating, in a safe and sustainable way.
Furthermore, in 2023 Silga is completing a relevant step in the renewable energy transition for its facilities in Castelfidardo with the implementation of 2 MegaWatts of photovoltaic panels, located on the rooftops of our facilities in Castelfidardo and in the adjoining field. Together with the cogeneration implant (1.02 Mwh) and the photovoltaic panels installed in the past (660 Kwh), this project will bring the electric energy self-produced by Silga to 3.7 Mwh.
Finally, Silga is one of the first companies in Europe to invest in biological wastewater treatment for the removal of nitrogenous compounds, allowing the partial reuse of the treated wastewater, ensuring the saving of such an important resource as water.
All of these actions represent the strong commitment that Silga has for the protection of the environment. Our aim is to ensure a greener planet for us and for the next generations, in a world that is rapidly changing and acquiring more and more awareness about the importance of sustainable practices by everyone. Together we can achieve it!
