Investing in Renewable Energy

To support the transition to clean energy, GGB has installed photovoltaic systems to power daily operations. By generating our own electricity, we lower our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Recycling and Waste Reduction

Our European facilities have implemented waste reduction and recycling initiatives, including:
•    Refining oil and water for reuse
•    Burning foil and residual waste for energy recovery
•    Reusing and granulating plastic
•    Recycling paper and cardboard
•    Burning wood in biomass thermal power plants
•    Using heated water to generate steam for turbines
These efforts improve efficiency while reducing waste and energy consumption.
