The green attitude at CQFD

93% of our waste (industrial and other) is recycled by using external ethical companies which means 

2 550 m3 is annually reprocessed,

100% of our industrial waste is recycled.

 

Concerns about the health of our customers, partners, contributors and employees and despite a drying inconvenience process which greatly reduces productivity ;CQFD has invested in finding an aqueous varnish in substitution of solvents or PVC films that are currently being used by most companies.

Our operators no longer need to wear masks (odourless product), they now only need to use gloves and aprons.

They do not need to wash their hands with detergents anymore just with soap and water.

Finally this alternative practice is respectful of the environment and requires no packaging unlike most of our competitors.

 

In the same process of sustainable environment and a survey of the arduousness of our work practice our entire fleet is now electric and self-supporting.

A survey had shown that each order picker moving their trolley was covering a distance of 7 to 10 kilometers daily.

Finally our factory switched to 50% LED lighting which will be converted to 100% in the short term future.
