CARE OF THE LOCAL AREA

Agreement with the municipal administration of San Polo d'Enza for a contribution to the reclamation of the former racetrack area in the town. A long-deteriorated and abandoned place returned to public use thanks to RR's support.

ENERGY DATA ANALYSIS

Project for the continuous analysis of the company's electricity consumption aimed at improving the efficiency of installations and their use.

WASTE

Installation of hydraulic compactors with the aim of reducing the volume of pre-sorted waste and the number of trips required to dispose of it.

AIR CONDITIONING

Installation on production sites of an adiabatic cooling system, preferred to traditional air conditioning systems due to the limited consumption of electricity.

AIR EXTRACTION

Installation of inlet partition valves to regulate the expulsion of conditioned air and reduce energy consumption.

ENERGY AIR EFFICIENCY

New-generation compressors, equipped with a system for recovering generated heat, which is in turn used to heat certain company premises.

<span style="color:black">20</span>20

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

For the portion of electricity not self-generated by solar power, RR uses 100% certified energy from renewable sources.

NEW SCRAP TREATMENT SYSTEM

RR is developing an upgrade project for its scrap treatment system with the aim of recovering and reusing the oil from machining waste to the greatest possible extent.

Reggiana Riduttori intends continuing its commitment to the environment by achieving new goals in the coming years.
These include the expansion of the solar photovoltaic system, the installation of charging columns for electric vehicles and the inclusion of hybrid cars in the company fleet.

Measures which will enable us to reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to an increasingly circular economy.
