Environmental commitment & social responsibility
It is important to us that we strive to have as low an environmental impact as possible in everything we do. Practicing what we preach is of the utmost importance to us. To minimize our impact on the environment, we are involved in several environmental initiatives. In addition, we have a portfolio of materials that are based on recycled, bio-based raw materials.
Erteco’s quality and environmental policies
In addition to the above, Erteco has drawn up a ‘Plastic and Chemical Waste Policy’, which emphasizes the importance of our partners disposing of and recycling materials correctly. In addition, we are certified according to ISO 14001 and ISCC PLUS.

Erteco’s Code of Conduct
Erteco supports the work of Regnskogsföreningen in South America
We have supported Regnskogsföreningen’s (‘the Rainforest Association’) work in South America every year since 2001, and donate 5% of our profits to various projects devoted to saving and preserving rainforests in South America. At the moment we are supporting Regnskogsföreningen in its efforts to protect the Amazon Rainforest and support local communities who live in the vicinity of the forest. Regnskogsföreningen also works with sustainable solutions and on the political representation of the indigenous population of the rainforest.

We work in line with the Operation Clean Sweep guidelines
Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) is an international initiative designed to prevent and reduce plastic pellet loss throughout the value chain, helping to stop plastic pellets from entering the natural environment and waterways.
Preventing plastic pellet loss
We work in line with the relevant parts of the initiative’s guidelines. Through clear procedures for warehouse operations, unloading and loading, we reduce the risk of plastic pellet loss and help protect the natural environment and waterways. Should a plastic pellet spill occur, we have established instructions, trained personnel and suitable equipment to ensure safe and responsible handling. Where required, we can also provide our transport partners with guidance and access to appropriate spill-response equipment.
Sustainability report
Our 2024/2025 Sustainability Report shows how we actively work to drive the development towards a more sustainable plastics and rubber industry. Through close collaboration with world-leading manufacturers, investments in knowledge and digitalisation, and a clear focus on circular and bio-based materials, we strive to reduce our climate impact and increase the share of sustainable material choices.
The report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and is inspired by the CSRD and ESRS. During the year, we have, among other things, reduced emissions per product, increased awareness among suppliers and customers, and improved data quality in our climate reporting.
