TOWARDS A CONSIDERED
AND RESPONSIBLE APPROACH
100% RECYCLABLE
The plastic we use is durable and 100% recyclable.
Because it is highly resistant, it offers a long service life, limiting the need for frequent replacement of equipment and thereby reducing plastic waste. And since it is fully recyclable, it can start a new life at the end of its first one.
We are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of our products as much as possible by developing recycling and eco-design alternatives.
PRODUCT RANGE CONTINUITY
We actively fight against planned obsolescence by maintaining our product ranges year after year. This allows you to avoid renewing your entire setup and helps reduce the purchase of new items. When a product does need to be replaced, range continuity ensures you can find the exact same product again.
THE RECYCLING INITIATIVE
At Gilac, we collect and recycle all PE and PP plastic containers on the market that can be replaced by Gilac containers.
This initiative aims to highlight that all food-grade plastic containers are 100% recyclable and form part of a circular economy approach.

PREVENTION OF INDUSTRIAL PLASTIC PELLET LOSS (GPI)
In accordance with Decree No. 2021-461 of 16 April 2021, our sites are subject to regular audits carried out by accredited bodies.
The most recent audit, conducted on 27 March 2025 by SOCOTEC at our Izernore production site, concluded with full compliance (100%) of all measures implemented to prevent the loss of industrial plastic pellets into the environment.
The measures currently in place at GILAC include:
- a fully enclosed site equipped with containment systems;
- recovery systems integrated into stormwater networks and retention basins;
- dedicated collection equipment (vacuums, bins, cleaning kits);
- staff training and continuous on-site safety signage;
- internal audits carried out twice a year to ensure best practices are maintained.
This result reflects our ongoing commitment to environmental protection and the safety of our industrial processes.
