Towards a sustainable future
Performance plastics
Plastics and sustainability seem to be opposites, mainly due to the negative connotation with disposable plastics. However, it is important to distinguish between single-use plastics and the responsible use of high-performance plastics, also known as "Performance plastics"
CGK develops sustainable products and environmental solutions based on plastics that have a long lifespan (up to 100 years) and are cradle-to-cradle recyclable. How we minimise our environmental impact is explained below.
Our sustainable vision
Sustainability can no longer be ignored in current and future business operations. At CGK, too, we take our responsibility to contribute to a sustainable, safe world.
Caring for people @ CGK
The value of a company is the sum of the people who work there. By paying attention to all our CGK staff, we not only ensure that our employees feel good. It also benefits our company, and consequently strengthens our sustainable growth.
Proud, motivated employees
Companies that make people feel good are worth so much more than their mere financial appreciation.

- strong commitment from both employees and management
- strong, open corporate culture
safe, diverse workplace
For the safety of our employees, we are committed to a strong safety culture within our company. Both physically and mentally.
