Softys México earns Silver Zero Waste Certification and moves towards a more circular industry

In September 2025, Softys México reached a new milestone in its commitment to sustainability: obtaining Silver category Zero Waste Certification, awarded by ICONTEC with the technical backing of Global Zero Waste.

The recognition went to the Altamira and Valle de México plants, following a specialist assessment that verified compliance with the requirements of the International Standard for Zero Waste Management Systems – Version 5, reaching a score of 77.72 out of 100 points.

What does this certification mean?

Zero Waste Certification recognises organisations that turn their waste management into a sustainable, integral strategy that not only reduces environmental impacts but also promotes:

• Resource optimisation

• Waste prevention and reduction at source

• Valorisation and recirculation of materials

• Environmental education and culture within the organisation

• Alignment with global circular economy goals

At Softys México, these components are visible in the consolidation of internal training programmes, awareness campaigns, improvements in operational processes and clear strategies for material circularity

A model of leadership and consistency

The step up to the Silver category reflects sustained work that brings together:

Towards a real circular economy in industry

Softys México's achievement contributes to the global movement towards cleaner, more efficient and regenerative industries.

At Global Zero Waste we celebrate this step and will accompany their continuous improvement towards new targets and greater levels of impact.
