Our commitments for the planet

 

Since 2019, FARGROUP's temas and more generally those of the companies of the SIGMA group, have been working hard, day after day, to reduce the environmental footprint of our activity.

Because time is running out and our planet is not waiting, we focus on 4 essential and priority PILLARS, which cover all stages of the product's life, from production to end of life:

 

1
Reduce the use of natural resources

2
Improve waste management

3
Reduce our packaging to limit the volumes transported by road and sea

4
Promote repairability and seek to extend the life of our products

 

These 4 pillars are treated in the form of ECO ACTIONS, specific to each of our products.

FARGROUP will now and gradually indicate to you on its packaging and its website the ECO ACTIONS carried out product by product, thanks to this signage:

 

1 - Reduce the use of natural resources

  OUR MAIN ECO ACTIONS:

  • Limit the use of strapping around overpacks to what is strictly necessary
  • Remove polystyrene and shrink wrap from all our packaging
  • Eliminate plastic bags around safety manuals and instruction manuals
  • Reduce the size of our packaging, to reduce the amount of cardboard

 

2 - Improve waste control

  OUR MAIN ECO ACTIONS:

  • Transition from our plastic packaging and blisters to recyclable cardboard packaging
  • Promote the use of 100% recycled & 100% recyclable cardboard
  • Systematically replace the use of mineral inks with vegetable-based inks
  • Prohibit polystyrene cushioning gradually and replace it with recycled cardboard
  • Improve selective sorting in our offices and warehouse, through the use of suitable materials accompanied by clear sorting signage by encouraging short circuits.

 

The volume of non-recovered waste fell from 16 tonnes in 2019 to 5 tonnes in 2022.

In 2022, the group sorted and enabled the recovery of:
23 tons of cardboard and paper, 15 tons of wood and 1 ton of plastic

 

3 - Reduce the size of our packaging to limit the volumes transported by road and sea

  OUR MAIN ECO ACTIONS:

  • Reorganize the arrangement of products in our packaging
  • Ask our users to finalize the assembly (a few minutes are enough!!) of certain tools to reduce the volume transported
  • Remove or replace plastic boxes with transport bags on certain products

 

4 - Promote repairability I Seek to extend the life of our products

  OUR MAIN ECO ACTIONS:

  • Faire travailler nos équipes de développement produit en amont pour améliorer la durabilité des machines
  • Accompagner l'utilisateur par notre SAV pour l'aider dans sa démarche d'auto-réparabilité
  • Mettre à disposition des tutoriels pédagogiques sous forme de vidéos
  • Rendre disponible des pièces détachées pour une durée minimale de 10 ANS
  • Make our product development teams work upstream to improve the durability of the machines
