Recycled plastics
Plastic is the material most used to produce cleaning machines.
In order to try and reduce its impact on the environment, Fimap has launched a project to recover waste plastic and reuse it, transforming it from waste to resource.
In collaboration with its suppliers, it has created a recycled material for its exclusive use from scratch, able to guarantee the same strength and reliability as new plastics. It has been a bold and original initiative.
Initiative which has been rewarded with ReMade in Italy certification, which recognizes the value of the product within a circular economy model, the transparency of the process and its innovative character.
Acknowledged in Italy and throughout Europe, it certifies the amount of recycled material used, providing a considerable competitive advantage in tenders.
Fimap proposes the recycled plastic for the tanks of scrubbing machines, rotational components of sweeping machines and the tanks of wet&dry vacuum cleaners.
The machines are distinguished by their black colour, the only one able to provide uniformity for a material which, since it is recovered, is made up of polymers from different sources and therefore of different colours.
At the heart of the project is a reassessment of the processes that aims to make optimal use of the resources used in production, limiting the input of new ones thanks to the reuse of those already available.
