At Valorsul, what you no longer value and have therefore thrown away becomes a resource again, a raw material that can be transformed into a new cardboard box, a new glass bottle, electricity, fertiliser for agriculture or materials for building a new road.
Certifications

Valorsul has an Integrated Management System (IMS) for the Environment, Occupational Health and Safety and Quality (in accordance with the NP EN ISO 14001, NP ISO 45001 and NP EN ISO 9001 standards, respectively), which was implemented with the aim of providing the company with a management tool that enables it to set continuous improvement objectives and demonstrate solid environmental, occupational health and safety and quality performance in all the services and products it supplies.
