Codil develops and manufactures sustainable products which people can use, year after year.
We believe and work every day in order to demonstrate that the plastic is sustainable and eco-friendly.
Since April of 2022, Codil produces part of it's energy by photovoltaic panels, which allows to reduce the energy consumption from non-renewable sources.
In July 2006, we joined the Sociedade Ponto Verde to ensure the management of our packaging waste, placed on the market.
At the end of 2020, we became an effective member of the “Pacto português dos Plásticos”, a collaborative platform with different parties in the national plastic value chain.
Codil is an ISO 14001 certified company. We increasingly assert ourselves as an active member in this environmental purpose and in this way we assume and fulfill our commitment.
As SEDEX members, we use SMETA-4P tools and audits from a perspective of continuous improvement, ensuring that our activities are based on ethical principles, with respect for human and labor rights, as well as the environment, safety and health at work.
Our principles:
Our products are all 100% recyclable
Our products are not for a single use, we develop and manufacture lasting products in order to make the most profit of the it in the everyday life.
We are focused on using 100% of our production waste, reason why we have created product lines that incorporate this rejected material while maintaining the product quality standards.
Our product innovation team develops articles in order to make it possible to take the most profit of the recycled material, as well as product development where all its components are based on the same material, making it easier when recycling – Eco-design.
We have an internal recycling unit that works in order to recycle everything that’s waste by color/material, assuring this way 0% waste and less consumption of new material.
One of our main concerns is the logistics and its packaging in order to improve the transport, decreasing its environmental impact (the major part of our products go to customers in a stackable and unassembled way)
We have been consulting with our suppliers in order to make our purchases more responsible. In 2020, we started the acquisition of boxes subject to FSC certification, in order to ensure that the boxes come from forests with sustainable management.
Since 2016, we have begun the replacement of our plastic injection equipment, which work 24h/day, for electrical equipment in order to reduce the energetic consumption. At this moment 28% of our equipment is electric.
