Earth Day 2021

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. And Every year the Earth Day gives businesses an opportunity to reflect on their sustainability strategies.

We took  bold and quick action with our collegues.

Earth Day encourages an appreciation for nature by advising our employees to take a look at the world around us. It is time to take bold and quick action. Especially nowadays, when most of us and our children spend our leisure time in front of computer screens. Fillamentum joined the challenge and spent some time outside in the nature by cleaning up the area around, starting planting trees and plants, collectin the trash or cleaning the gardens. These days, everyone of us should stop for a moment and think a bit of how to create better world for us and our children.

We are proud that not only during Earth Day members of Fillamentum team care about our environment by planting the flowers and trees and cleaning the are around. Look in the picture gallery how successful we are:

Julia, Laila, Šárka, Barbora and her daughter Adela took care of cleaning the area in their cities:

Martina and Vladimir created beautiful spot in their garden:

“We want to build a living garden. Instead of a piece of green grass, we support the weed, as like daisies, dandelions, and clover. We have already noticed that a lot of birds, squirrels, dragonflies, and lizards run around, so we want to provide them some food and an appropriate environment for their living. To increase the rate of insects in our yard, we sowed the flowering (butterfly) meadow. It will help to attract not only butterflies but also bees, bumblebees, ladybugs, beetles, etc. The presence of insects in our garden is also important to have a larger harvest of fruit. Because our trees need to be pollinated. In the end, we are very happy when we see species like the Carpenter bee, which is rare in our environment.”

Also the children were involved into usual spring activities in the garden:

How is Fillamentum itself going forward to greener and better world?

Sustainability and recyclability.

In general, the idea of sustainability and recyclability is becoming the number one topic in companies across all industry sectors. Sustainability is one of the main principles of Fillamentum, which is ready to spread this respectful approach to the environment among other companies in order to ensure a quality life for future generations.

To support this movement, after seven years of development, Fillamentum offers fully biodegradable filament NonOilen which perfectly fits the principles of circular economy. Thanks to NonOilen, the companies can cut the source of input material and joint the idea of “Green Prototyping”.

To support the circular economy, please: 

  • think before you print– minimize the disposable goods, design the functional objects, reduce the waste 
  • reuse the printed object– it has great properties, it can be cleaned in the dishwasher, and it resists to water 
  • recycle the material– you can send it to Fillamentum, and we will exploit the polymer 
  • or dispose the material into biowaste– if the recycling is not effective, put NonOilen® into biowaste 
  • do not put it into plastic waste, it would not be separated correctly, but incinerated 
  • recycle the spool – it is made of recycled PP, which has specific grey color to be easily recognized on the sorting line and ensures good separation in the waste 
  • recycle the bag – it is plastic foil coated with aluminum, which can be thrown away into the plastic waste 
  • recycle the box– it is made of the recycled paper and it can be recycled again

DHL GoGreen Program.

Another step forward to protect our planet was joining the DHL GoGreen Program. Combating climate change by becoming more carbon efficient and delivering sustainable value to society and communities has been an integral part of DHL strategy since 2020. With transport, CO2 and other Greenhouse gases, the main causes of climate change, are produced. The joining of the DHL GoGreen program was for Fillamentum a logical step forward to a neutralizing carbon footprint and creating a better environment for next generation.
