_to be used in the construction of 785 m;
_of a highway 28 meters wide;

for speed control (VVE) in large machines,
which allows us to save 10-30% of
our electricity consumption.

Sustainable Production

Primus Vitória ceramics has been adopting the most
modern technologies for reducing its ecological
footprint and reducing its energy bill.

One of the measures taken was the installation of a
photovoltaic solar power plant
on the roof of its plant,
a project carried out by HELEXIA.

installation of a plant with
1628 solar panels

with an estimated annual production of
702 Mw/h representing 20%
of the plant’s energy production

avoiding the issuing of
-316 Ton de CO2 per year

the equivalent to:
_8100 trees planted per year;
_annual energy consumption of 140 households;

Paper

"The paper recycling process reduces 74% of air pollution,
saving 35% water and reduces energy consumption by 66%. 
(www.ecopagina.home.sapo.pt). Recycling of 1 ton of paper saves
approximately 2.5 barrels of oil per day. From 1 ton of recycled paper
uses only 2,000 l of water in the production process, but in
the traditional process of producing new paper is used
100 000 – 200 000 l of water.

In 2009 Primus Vitória recycled:
36t of paper and cardboard.

That’s enough to:

_Save about 630 trees a year.

_Saves 90 barrels of gasoline per year ( 3576 L
of Bensinee 4290 L of diesel)


_A diesel car consumes 6,5 l/100 km, allowing
a vehicle to travel for 22 000 km.

_Save 5 328 000 L of water.

2.5 barrels of oil.
