At Placasa, we view challenges as great opportunities.Two of them are the challenge of social change and a commitment to the planet, which lead us to define and set out future responses and solutions with sustainable alternatives.
We feel a social responsibility to use resources more efficiently and to lengthen products’ lifecycles as much as possible.
All of our departments work to make Placasa a company that is economically and environmentally responsible.This is endorsed by the presence of the circular economy as a cross-cutting core area in our strategic policy to provide a response to the challenge of sustainability.
