Green Solutions: Evolution into Eco-Conscious Seals

Evolution in the Journey of Sustainability

Amidst growing global concerns about environmental sustainability, Mega Fortris is taking proactive steps to address its ecological footprint. At Mega Fortris, we're dedicated to more than just securing your assets — we're committed to safeguarding our planet.

Building on a Foundation of Sustainability, we're proud to unveil our latest initiative, one that reinforces our steadfast commitment to environmental sustainability.

By incorporating bio-additives into our entire range of security seal products, this evolutionary approach ensures that our products not only provide protection but also actively contribute to environmental sustainability. To provide eco-conscious solutions on a wide array of applications, all Mega Fortris’ security seal product lines with plastic content will include the BioSphere bio-additive from 13 May 2024, comprehensively securing the global supply chain while reducing our footprint. With this, Mega Fortris continues to stand at the forefront of the industry's sustainability initiatives.

The benefits of our seals extend far beyond environmental considerations. While traditional security seals serve the primary function of securing goods and deterring tampering, our seals offer an added layer of eco-friendliness.

Opting for our seals, aligns with the evolving expectations of conscientious consumers and regulatory bodies worldwide. Companies across diverse industries are increasingly recognizing the importance of integrating sustainability into their operations. By choosing Mega Fortris seals, customers enhance their security measures while committing to environmental responsibility.

Our transition to include bio-additives as standard for our seals with plastic content, marks a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. It reflects our proactive approach to addressing pressing environmental challenges while delivering value to our customers

The ESG Working Group

Central to our sustainability ethos is the establishment of an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) working group. We’ve set up a comprehensive policy and strategy that aligns seamlessly with our overall business objectives and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This strategic framework is integral to our operations, ensuring that sustainability is a guiding principle ingrained in our brand.

A key highlight of our sustainability efforts lies in our recently developed ESG framework, which integrates environmental, social, and governance principles into the core of our operations. Through rigorous assessment of materiality topics, we've identified sustainable raw material consumption as a top priority, driving our quest for innovative solutions.

SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production

This goal specifically targets sustainable consumption and production patterns, including the efficient use of resources and the reduction of waste generation.

Through an integrated approach, combining the utilization of bio-additives, repurposed production by-products, and our ongoing 30% recycled content project, we're actively driving responsible consumption and production as a central strategic objective.

SDG 13 - Climate Action

Our overarching goal is to minimise reliance on fossil-based resins and focus on the use of renewable and recycled materials. By doing so, we're not only reducing our carbon footprint but also fostering a more sustainable supply chain that aligns with global efforts to combat climate change.

SDG 15 - Life on Land

Embracing sustainable sourcing and utilisation of raw materials not only aligns with the objectives of protecting terrestrial ecosystems, preventing deforestation, and promoting biodiversity conservation but also actively contributes to achieving these goals.

By incorporating the bio-additives as a standard practice, we're committed to reducing the environmental impact associated with plastic products. Through optimised resource utilisation and promotion of responsible waste disposal, we're taking significant strides towards minimising our ecological footprint and safeguarding our planet for future generations.

SDG 14 - Life Below Water

It's important to recognize that sustainable sourcing practices have a broader impact, extending beyond oceans. By embracing sustainability in our sourcing practices, we're actively working to reduce pollution and prevent habitat destruction, which indirectly contributes to the conservation of marine ecosystems.

At Mega Fortris, our commitment to sustainability knows no bounds. Through our conscientious sourcing initiatives, we're not only safeguarding our oceans but also promoting the well-being of all ecosystems, both on land and at sea.

Our BioSphere Additives

Enter our game-changing bio-additives — a testament to our unwavering dedication to environmental sustainability. These additives catalyse the biodegradation of plastics, mitigating plastic waste accumulation in our landfills and oceans. With this groundbreaking innovation, we're not just offering security seals; we're championing a circular economy, where materials are repurposed, fostering resource efficiency and waste reduction.

So, what exactly are these bio-additives, and how do they work their magic? Essentially, the bio-additives serve as catalysts for anaerobic microbes, enabling them to break down plastics into byproducts such as low-weight non-toxic compounds, and water. By disrupting the strong bonds in plastic polymers, these additives facilitate biodegradation, promoting a circular economy that minimises waste and conserves resources. The resulting byproducts are non-toxic and compatible with recycling, marking a significant advancement in sustainable supply chain management. Our bio-additives penetrate plastic at a molecular level, increasing surface area and attracting microbes that efficiently digest it, unlike regular plastic that can persist in landfills for centuries.

What Else is There?

But our commitment doesn't end there. We're taking proactive steps to educate our customers on the proper handling and disposal of our products. Through our ESG Materiality Topics management, we're paving the way for responsible consumption, one informed decision at a time.

In an era where environmental consciousness of individuals is on the rise, Mega Fortris stands at the vanguard of sustainable practices. By incorporating bio-additives, we're not just differentiating ourselves from the competition; we're setting a new standard for responsible business conduct. Our journey toward sustainability is evolutionary, driven by innovation and social responsibility.

Facing forward, we're embarking on a path of continuous improvement, fuelled by our relentless pursuit of innovation. Our vision extends beyond bio-additive resins. As part of our future vision, we're continuing our efforts to develop fully compostable, non-fossil fuel-based resin security seals. Together, let's redefine the future of security, one seal at a time.
