Care for the Planet
At OKNOPLAST, our vision for a sustainable future is clear. We’re not just adapting to change; we’re driving it
Reduction of Energy Consumption
We prioritize reducing electricity consumption as part of our commitment to sustainability. To achieve this, we’ve transitioned to LED lighting and integrated light sensors to eliminate unnecessary energy usage. Furthermore, we’re ramping up our investment in renewable energy solutions, such as photovoltaic panels. Coupled with outdoor monitoring systems, these initiatives enable us to promptly respond to energy needs and further enhance our conservation efforts.
Recycling and Closed-Circuit Economy
Our PVC window profiles are created in a closed-loop cycle where waste is reused, making it one of the most environmentally friendly materials used in window manufacturing. We recycle 2,000 tons of PVC waste annually, giving it a new use, and demonstrating our deep commitment to ecology.
Reduction of pollutant emissions
A pivotal investment for us is our catalytic furnace, which reduces atmospheric emissions by 95%. This is primarily achieved by converting volatile organic compounds into water vapor. As a result, the veneering department, once a significant contributor to emissions at our factory, now has significantly less impact on air quality.
Reduction of Gas Emissions
Driven by a profound concern for our planet’s resources, we continuously pursue harmonious and sustainable production methods. By harnessing heat from our glass tempering furnace to warm our facilities, we’ve effectively curbed heat loss to the outdoors. These efforts have yielded tangible outcomes: a remarkable 50% reduction in gas consumption compared to prior heating seasons.
“We recognize the growing expectations of our customers and the imperative to focus not only on product quality but also on the sustainability of the production process. With each new investment, our aim is not just to enhance production but also to minimize its environmental footprint-an ongoing responsibility we prioritize daily,”
Maciej Solecki,
OKNOPLAST’s Chief Operating Officer.
Shaping a Better Tomorrow: The OKNOPLAST Way
Education and Community: Our Commitment
As we continue our journey towards sustainable manufacturing, we remain steadfast in our commitment to our planet, community, and customers. Together, we’re building a greener tomorrow.
Foodsharing with Neverwaste
Amidst the escalating issue of food waste in Poland and the global community, an innovative remedy has emerged: the Neverwaste application. OKNOPLAST proudly partnered with this initiative, actively contributing to its development. The Neverwaste app empowers users to combat food waste by showcasing products and meals nearing expiration through advertisements, fostering a community-driven approach to mitigate wastage. With functionalities like a map displaying available items, as well as a reservation and rating system, Neverwaste streamlines networking and exchanges, simultaneously aiding those in need.
We take care of the seas with Marevivo
We’ve teamed up with Marevivo, a longstanding non-profit organization dedicated to safeguarding Italy’s seas and environment for over 30 years, for the Replant project. This initiative aims to replenish marine ecosystems, crucial for oxygen production (which accounts for 50% of the air we breathe, courtesy of underwater forests), CO2 absorption (contributing to 30% of global emissions reduction), biodiversity protection (serving as a natural haven for 25% of Mediterranean marine species), and mitigating coastal erosion by stabilizing wave dynamics and curbing sand loss.
OKNOPLAST Forest
We care about keeping our planet as green as possible. That’s why we initiated a project to create the OKNOPLAST Forest, where our employees planted hundreds of trees, providing valuable oxygen to the atmosphere and improving the quality of life for many people, highlighting our commitment to the well-being of the planet.
Beyond Words: OKNOPLAST’s Certified Commitment
Trust in our commitment to sustainability, not just our words. Our certifications in eco-friendliness and ethical practices stand as undeniable proof.
Recently, we have made numerous investments that produce concrete results in reducing energy consumption. We have also received a certificate of compliance with the leading standard on environmental management systems, which confirms the consistent implementation of measures to reduce the organization’s impact on the environment. Of course, we still have a lot of work to do, but we are moving in the right direction.

Did you know?
PAVA Window – Created for Energy
At OKNOPLAST, we are addressing the challenge of rising heating costs by introducing our latest innovation: the energy-efficient PAVA window. These windows boast exceptional insulation capabilities, evident in their impressive U – 0.13. Featuring a 7-chamber frame profile, a 6-chamber A-class sash profile, and a center gasket within the frame, these windows are meticulously designed to deliver superior thermal insulation, helping you save on heating expenses.
Discover how PAVA windows can transform your home and contribute to environmental protection.
“The PAVA window is our response to rising energy prices, while also meeting the demands of our customers, who recognize the benefits of investing in energy-efficient windows. With current price increases, windows with high thermal insulation parameters allow for long-term savings. We see a growing interest in replacing basic windows with energy-efficient windows not only in Poland, but also abroad, especially in regions exposed to low temperatures,”
Maciej Solecki,
OKNOPLAST’s Chief Operating Officer.
Your Window for a Better Future
We have many ambitious plans and projects currently in the pipeline. Each of them is proof that at OKNOPLAST we are not only imagining a better future, but actively shaping it. Our commitment to sustainable solutions remains strong, and our journey toward a green future is still ongoing.
