Inalca JBS Spa has equipped its production plants with the most modern technology
available in the environmental field, particularly in the water, energy and
waste sectors.
Water
Inalca JBS Spa's resources are most concentrated in the area of water consumption,
water being the most precious resource for its production cycle.
In particular, Inalca JBS Spa has optimised the complete cycle of waste water
purification and recovery in its own production plants using biological
systems. The water cycle efficiency indicators are carefully controlled in the
environmental management system.
Energy
Inalca JBS Spa has developed the sensitivity and experience to effectively reduce
and recover energy in its own production plants, which are the largest in
In terms of energy recovery, Inalca JBS Spa’s efforts are mainly aimed at the use of
advanced cogeneration and waste-to-energy systems.
These systems are capable of providing a continuous supply of energy to the
plant, even in the case of accidental mains power network failures.
In line with the new legislative provisions which stimulate energy efficiency
initiatives, Inalca JBS Spa – via its own controlled company SARA S.r.l. - has started
up energy efficiency projects certified by the energy distribution companies
(White Certificates or Energy Efficiency Titles, Italian acronym TEE).
Inalca JBS Spa is also actively involved in further innovative projects for the recovery
and transformation to energy of its own biomass and the reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions.
Waste
Where possible, Inalca JBS Spa promotes reduction of waste production at source,
and its re-use as far as possible. To this end, Inalca JBS Spa promotes - through
its own controlled company SARA S.r.l. – the recovery of certain types of
waste by composting (the controlled transformation of its organic waste into
products for agriculture).
