Environmental Protection
Some traditional human activities are vital to social and economic growth but at the same time can profoundly affect the environment by contributing to pollution and release of harmful substances. Over the years, the increased awareness of the impacts that human actions can have on the environment has led to the recognition of the need for a technological transformation.
Maccaferri has environmental protection as the top of its priorities. We work to reduce risks for communities, to minimise environmental impacts and to create a balanced coexistence between anthropogenic needs and natural boundaries. Experience gained over countless projects enabled us to customise innovative solutions to suit specific project requirements and to efficiently prevent environmental contamination.
