Imagine 42 thousand bags and over 80 thousand plastic bottles that, in the environment, would take several hundred years to decompose... Now, know that M&M Protek has already managed to reduce this: 23,000 square meters of plastic.
And the promise? We won't stop here!
M&M Protek has partnered with the Planetary Health thematic content to walk together towards the sustainable future of the planet, raising awareness for climate citizenship. Thus, all the set goals focus on seeking a better world.

ZERO PLASTIC GOAL
In a commitment to you, to us, and to the planet, M&M Protek has set a new goal for 2023: the total elimination of plastic. The main strategy involves scrupulously complying with existing regulations, emphasizing respect for the environment and the planet, and instilling a sense of environmental respect within our team and facilities.
How?
In practical terms, the path to the Zero Plastic Goal involves minimizing the use of plastic raw materials, encouraging selective collection and recycling of all waste, and reducing the direct impact generated in our daily business activities.
These objectives are achieved primarily in three stages:
01: PURCHASE
Reduction in the purchase of plastic raw materials.
02: SEPARATION
Selective collection and separation of all waste.
03: RECYCLING
Delivery of waste to Eco Centers.

PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY
Many of our partners include sustainability as one of the pillars of their production. This is evident, for example, in insoles made from recycled materials.
The Paradox range from Monitor is the perfect example of this. The Monitor insoles used in these models are made from recycled polyurethane – which, nonetheless, does not compromise their flexibility, lightweight, cushioning, and quality.
While the quality of recycled "plastic" and other materials used instead of plastic is a subject of much debate, technology is advancing to meet the demands of the market.
Therefore, currently, the complete abandonment of plastic in the production of footwear and protective clothing in no way compromises the quality of these products!
On the contrary, environmentally friendly alternative methods ensure compliance with all the quality standards inherent to the products.
INSTALLATION OF SOLAR PANELS
The installation of solar panels is another important step by M&M Protek in its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
This investment in solar panels allows us to generate our own electricity, reduce our dependence on the grid, and lower energy costs. Additionally, since the generated energy is clean and renewable, it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
Sustainability is becoming an increasingly significant factor in the decision-making process of Portuguese customers. That's why we always strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible. M&M Protek and its Business Partners are working together for the future of our planet.
