“We want to give back to the world what it has given us.”
Our Sustainability Pledge
We are committed to sustainability and aim to share our perspective on its importance along with how we plan to make a global impact. Just as our core values—human focus, professionalism, entrepreneurship, and humility—guide us, sustainability is deeply ingrained in our company. With over 60 years of experience in recycling, we have consistently worked to achieve a balance between people, the environment and business.
In other words, we are making a commitment to our employees, customers, suppliers, and everyone involved in our company’s ecosystem.
A materiality assessment helped us shape our approach to sustainability around three key pillars: Sustainable Solutions, Responsible Operations, and Empowered People. Together, we make an impact through these 3 pillars.
Sustainability has always been central to our identity and operations. This is why we are committed to sharing our perspective and story on what sustainability means to us.
Sustainable Solutions
Recycling Excellence
Giving waste a second life, that is how it all started for Ravago. When our founder Raf Van Gorp saw the potential of discarded products, he started recycling avant-la-lettre. Today, as one of the leading plastics recyclers, Ravago continues to push the boundaries in recycling technologies and applications. Step by step, Ravago is working towards solving the plastic waste issue and making plastics truly circular.
As Ravago Petrokimya Uretim A.S., we took a significant step towards sustainability by establishing a state-of-the-art recycling facility in Aliağa, İzmir.
This plant not only shows our commitment to reducing environmental impact but also plays a crucial role in our efforts to promote circular economy practices, turning waste materials into valuable resources for future use.
Other Sustainable Solutions
In addition to our recycled products, we have other sustainable products in our portfolio that help our customers in their sustainability efforts.
