Building an Eco-Sustainable Business Strategy: presentation by Giancarlo Losma

A leader in building a sustainable business by developing eco-sustainable products, Mr. Giancarlo Losma addresses the business imperative of transitioning your business to become more environmentally sustainable. He presents new technologies and new approaches to developing sustainable products, from the initial stage of design, choice of raw materials and appropriate production systems to product development, its disposal at the end of its life span and the recycling and re-use of the materials used.

LOSMA SPA produces filters, components capable of reducing as much as possible the impact of production machinery (of any kind) on the outside environment, as well as within the company walls, therefore ensuring the safety of the operators working on the machines, and limiting the dumping of toxic waste, like oils, fluids, and gases, into the environment.
