The Marangoni Group has announced that the Certiquality certification body has renewed the company’s ISO 14001 “environmental quality” certification for its plant in Rovereto, Italy.

ISO 14001 Certification Renewed

One of the Group’s priorities, in all its plants, has always been to respect the environment and reduce the impact of production activities on the local area. “Such a commitment is consistent with the company’s mission, which is to actively contribute, by offering sustainable solutions for the tyre industry and the goods transport and passenger transport sectors, to the transition from linear to circular economy, thus ensuring a more efficient use of our planet’s resources,” said the company in a statement.

The attention that Marangoni pays to how it manages its processes and technologies goes hand in hand with an emphasis on the sustainability of its innovative products and services, which have always been designed with a view to preserving natural resources and reducing its carbon footprint.

Based on the data collected by leading industry associations, Marangoni has calculated that, at a global level, tyre retreading prevents 4.5 million tonnes of tyres and nearly 4 billion litres of oil and derivatives from being released into the environment every year and allows the transport industry to save approximately €9 billion, thereby generating a local value-added business that minimises the need to import expensive raw materials.
