Grupo Chinchurreta
COMMITTED TO THE ENERGY TRANSITION
The CHINCHURRETA GROUP is aware of the importance of reducing its environmental impact. Therefore, we work continuously in our two plants to minimise our carbon footprint, implementing improvements in energy efficiency and optimising our production processes to move towards a more sustainable model.
CERTIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
SUSTAINABILITY
EFFICIENT USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES
We are committed to energy efficiency and the reduced consumption of resources. In 2023, the installation of 3MW solar panels enabled our TUBOS ARANDA factory to become self-sufficient for over 40% of its electricity needs.
In addition, we collaborate with certified agents for the recycling and reuse of materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, steel, and other industrial waste. To minimise our environmental impact, we work with scrap recycling and processing companies located within 60 km of our facilities.
A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT
We prioritise rail transport to reduce our environmental impact. Each week, three trains transport 3,000 tons of coils from the port of Bilbao to our TUBOS ARANDA factory, which avoids 5,800 lorry journeys per year and significantly reduces COā emissions.
In addition, our partners continuously renew their fleet, having achieved a reduction of more than 13% in their carbon footprint since 2019, and with the goal of reaching 25% by 2030. Some already include gas-powered lorries, thereby promoting more efficient and environmentally friendly transport.
COMMITMENT TO GREEN STEEL
We are clearly committed to a more sustainable production through the use of green steel. We have suppliers capable of supplying this material within 60 km, thus reducing the impact of transport.
Moreover, we have a renewable energy supply which allows us to manufacture tubes with green steel coil, ensuring a more environmentally friendly and efficient process.
