Clean Energy
Energy is at the core of our processes. In 2011, Thermoplay installed a rooftop solar panel system with three inverters. The 860 panels can generate 198 kWp, producing an average of over 185,000 kWh per year. This reduces our environmental footprint by avoiding carbon dioxide emissions from conventional power generation.
The energy produced is fully consumed by the manufacturing department, saving 91,770 kg of CO₂ annually. Today, 100% of Thermoplay’s energy comes from renewable sources, with 90% produced locally in the Valle d’Aosta region via wind and hydroelectric plants, and the remainder generated by our self-consumed solar system.

Zero Waste
A water recirculation system is employed for cutting machines, recovering wastewater and filtering it for reuse in the high-pressure pump before returning it to the cutting tank. The system has a treatment capacity of up to 670 liters per hour, minimizing water waste and supporting circular resource management.
-
Efficient Water Cycle
Most machines in the manufacturing department are equipped with water recovery systems that separate water from emulsified oils. This recovered water is then returned to the hydraulic systems of tooling machines, allowing multiple uses of the same resource and reducing overall water consumption.
-
Sustainable Lighting
98% of the lighting in our facilities is provided by energy-efficient LED sources, resulting in a significant reduction of electricity consumption by 60%. This upgrade not only lowers operational costs but also supports our environmental goals by minimizing energy waste. The LED system is carefully designed to provide consistent illumination, ensuring that all work areas maintain optimal visibility and safety standards for employees. In addition, the long lifespan of LED technology reduces maintenance needs, further enhancing overall efficiency and sustainability across our production facilities.
-
Conscious Choices
Plastic bottle usage has been reduced by 90% through the installation of purification and water dispensing systems connected to the public drinking water network, with reusable containers for employees.
Additional initiatives include:
-
Hot drink cups and stirrers made from biodegradable and compostable materials.
-
Snacks and other consumables sourced from local Valle d’Aosta products, supporting regional agriculture and promoting the conservation of local heritage.
