REPAIRING IS 187 TIMES LESS POLLUTANT THAN RECYCLING
PRS is a benchmark company in the Circular Economy that, thanks to its repair service, achieves the total recovery of the functionality of the repaired object, an economic saving of 70% for its customers, and a CO2 emission 182 times lower than that which is produces with the next best alternative to repair, which would consist of recycling and subsequent replacement of ERTs, such as pallets, containers, boxes, pallets, etc.
In 2019 alone, PRS repaired more than 100,000 packaging made of plastic, which has meant the reuse of more than 1,575 tons of plastic. By avoiding the disposal and replacement of these packaging, PRS has achieved a retention of more than 6,917 tons of CO2, which would have been emitted by other alternative solutions to repair, such as recycling, incineration, or burial.
