Sustainability lies at the core of KRONUS’s mission and goals, with the company committed to promoting a greener future through its nature-friendly packaging that has gained recognition and widespread customer adoption worldwide. 

KRONUS SIA underlines that the very essence of the business revolves around sustainability, zero waste production, and the creation of reusable products. “We firmly believe that working together can achieve more and spread the message of embracing eco-friendly practices to a larger audience,” states the company.

In order to achieve its goals, KRONUS has developed a comprehensive sustainability strategy that encompasses several key initiatives. One of its primary focuses is using certified materials in its production processes, ensuring that its products meet environmental standards.

“Additionally, we strive to optimise the utilisation of production residues, minimising waste and maximising the value we extract from our resources,” points out KRONUS. “We also make regular investments in growth, enabling us to improve our sustainability practices and expand our impact continuously.”

Among KRONUS’ significant projects is the production of wooden packaging, which offers alternative and greener options for companies seeking to transport and store their products while maintaining product protection, safety and quality. The company has also been producing briquettes from wood waste, which it uses to heat its production premises. “We also sell these briquettes on the domestic market, providing a sustainable heating solution for others,” mentions KRONUS. “Furthermore, all of our production plants and warehouses follow a strict waste sorting policy, ensuring that waste is sorted correctly and disposed of in compliance with regulations.”

As part of its commitment to transparency and accountability, KRONUS is an active participant in an Environmental Product Declaration program. This means that the company diligently measures and strives to reduce the environmental impact of its products and services, generating transparent reports that enable it to track its sustainability performance and make continuous improvements.

While sustainability projects often require an initial investment, KRONUS firmly believes that the long-term benefits outweigh the costs. “By embracing eco-friendly practices, we save money and contribute to maintaining a greener environment. Moreover, our commitment to sustainability is a powerful motivator for our customers, staff, and partners, to embrace a greener lifestyle and work toward a more sustainable future,” explains KRONUS. “When faced with the recent energy crisis and the significant increase in heating prices, our production spaces were efficiently heated using our own materials. This further reinforces our belief that investment in sustainability pays off in more ways than just financial returns.”

In today’s world, an increasing number of customers prioritise sustainability; sales processes based on fair-trade principles; and good employee working conditions when establishing business relationships. However, KRONUS has been dedicated to operating in a responsible and nature-efficient manner right from the start of the business. “When placing orders, it is crucial for companies to know the origin of the materials they receive and whether they are certified, and this is something we prioritise and provide assurance for,” highlights the company. “The global supply chain is currently facing numerous challenges, but the importance of sustainable packaging should be addressed during these conditions. We firmly believe that our wooden packaging can play a pivotal role in alleviating this situation, saving both money and time. Our motto: ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ encapsulates the essence of our packaging solutions.”

Designed for reusability and durability, KRONUS’ wooden packaging, including pallet collars, pallets, lids, and various accessories, can be used across all supply chain stages for up to 10 years – offering reusability and the possibility of it being recycled without causing harm to the environment. “The natural decomposition of wooden packaging allows it to be processed into other valuable products. Moreover, wooden packaging yields additional benefits by reducing costs, resource consumption, as well as overall environmental impact,” mentions KRONUS.

The company adds: “Adopting reusable packaging eliminates the need for disposable options, leading to a more sustainable and cost-effective approach. The problem of unsustainable packaging is evident, and reusable packaging holds significant potential to provide a solution. At KRONUS, we assist businesses in finding the most suitable and effective sustainable packaging solutions for their industries, facilitating their journey toward more environmentally friendly production practices.”

In-line with its commitment to sustainability, KRONUS also has ambitious plans for the future. “We recognise that the journey toward a greener future is an ongoing process and we are determined to improve and expand our sustainable practices continuously. One of our primary goals is to further reduce our carbon footprint by implementing innovative technologies, and renewable energy sources, throughout our operations. We are also actively exploring partnerships with suppliers who share our sustainability values, ensuring our materials meet the highest environmental standards. Additionally, we aim to enhance our waste management systems, promoting even more efficient recycling and waste reduction practices. By collaborating with research institutions, and environmental organisations, we are also seeking to stay at the forefront of sustainable packaging solutions – constantly innovating and developing new eco-friendly products.” 

KRONUS concludes: “By setting ambitious sustainability targets and embracing a proactive approach, we are dedicated to positively impacting the environment and inspiring others to join us on the path to a more sustainable future. Together, we can make a difference and create a better future for our planet.”
