Certifications & Responsibility
Green certification and social responsibility
International customers audit suppliers on more than the product: materials, chemicals and working conditions all count. Thaloplast holds the matching certifications: GRS for recycled materials, SMETA (Sedex) for ethical trade, and RoHS and REACH for hazardous substances.
Working closely with Mainetti, we keep upgrading operational standards to meet annual certification requirements.
