Sustainability
Rubin is deeply committed to the resource efficiency and sustainability of its operations. The company made severe efforts to meet the ecological, sustainable and resource-efficient production criteria, considering all commitments related to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.
We are proud to announce that in Rubin 2023 is 2030 because the company has already achieved the goals captured in the program of both the enterprise and the Bulgarian state for the year 2030
Gas supply optimization
Rubin implements pioneering technologies to reduce gas consumption during the production process. Innovative techniques and equipment are incorporated into our production processes, which allows us to minimise gas consumption while maintaining high levels of productivity. This, in turn, contributes to reducing carbon emissions, increasing the competitiveness and positive reputation of the enterprise.

Preserving water resources
Rubin practices rainwater harvesting, capturing and utilising rainwater for multiple production purposes. This innovative approach involves a cycle where the collected water is processed and reused, eliminating the need for external water supply and promoting sustainable use of water resources. By implementing this method, Rubin reduces dependence on water supply and mitigates the risk of water resource depletion.

Green energy
Rubin is implementing photovoltaics as a key strategy to enhance its sustainability efforts. By harnessing solar energy and converting it into usable electricity, Rubin reduces its dependence on conventional energy sources and minimises carbon emissions. Currently, the plant has 2 MW of installed photovoltaic power, with plans to fully expand it to meet the enterprise’s energy requirements. The anticipated capacity for installation is 10 MW, solidifying Rubin’s commitment to a greener future.

Glass recycling
In its pursuit of sustainable practices, Rubin significantly emphasises glass recycling. By re-integrating the cullet into the production cycle, not only waste is reduced, but also raw material input. Waste glass is melted at a lower temperature than fresh raw materials, meaning less energy is consumed in manufacturing, further reducing the carbon footprint. Moreover, up to 1.2 tons of raw materials are saved for every ton of crumbs used. This process embodies the commitment to a zero-waste production model, ensuring that every produced item is a testament to sustainability and efficiency.

Modern chemical analysis laboratory
To ensure the highest quality and optimal recycling, a significant investment was made in a modern chemical analysis laboratory. This state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the latest technologies that allow the chemical composition of all raw materials, including different types of glass, to be thoroughly analysed. Having this capability, the team can confidently incorporate glass with different chemical compositions into the production processes without any compromise on the quality of the final product. This is how Rubin manages to get to the significant 45% recycled content and bring the 2030 goals to 2023.
