Equipped with state-of-the-art explosion-proof systems, these warehouses will allow us to expand our storage capacity to 3,000 tons of product.

The warehouses will be operated by shuttles capable of retrieving and locating goods at any point within the warehouse using 3D movements. These shuttles will move vertically through the nine levels of the smart warehouse via vertical conveyors.

The movements of the shuttles and conveyors will be controlled by a PLC with specific WMS software for logistical processes in robotized warehouses. They will use advanced algorithms to optimize them through FIFO or LIFO methods. The software is developed for special configurations that allow verification and classification of goods in real time using scanners and clearance control, considering dimensions, risk phrases, and various incompatibilities, efficiently and error-free, storing goods correctly according to regulations regarding Chemical Product Storage and Safety Data Sheets. This system will enable inventory control and execution of picking and replenishment orders, integrating with our factory WMS and ERP, among other functionalities.

At DMG, in this stage of growth, we aim for these warehouses, along with the rest of our facilities, to help us achieve the high standards of safety, health, environmental protection, and quality that our activity requires.

According to a report published by the market research company NielsenIQ, 73% of Spanish consumers acknowledge giving more importance to sustainability today than just two years ago. Another figure collected indicates that 79% of consumers globally will tend to buy in spaces that offer a greater variety of sustainable products.

For this reason, it is not surprising in the current scenario that sustainability and ecological awareness are pillars in the lifestyle of younger consumers, who are willing to pay a higher price for quality sustainable products.

This positive trend of global reach and of enormous force at present makes more and more industries join in the development of articles that respect the environment, thus promoting social and economic progress without damaging natural ecosystems.

The perfumery sector places more and more emphasis on ecological packaging, using reusable containers made from recycled material. An example of this could be Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria collection, packaged in refillable bottles made from 15% recycled glass, the production of which generates less than half the carbon of its non-refillable counterpart.

At the national level, Stanpa and Ecovidrio have presented an ecodesign guide earlier this month that offers recommendations to reduce the weight of the bottles and avoid elements that make recycling them difficult.

Sectors such as cosmetics and home care are also increasingly committed to making 100% sustainable products, embracing a new form of consumption that transcends fashion and is here to stay.

What is the sustainable formulation of fragrances?

As a result of the aforementioned trend, a factor that is increasingly taken into account by the sectors in which fragrances and aromas are applied is that these have been developed through a sustainable formulation of fragrances.

With the sustainable formulation of fragrances, the aim is to give greater importance to ecological and social aspects when preparing aromatic essences, emphasizing that they have been manufactured minimizing carbon emissions, using 100% renewable electricity and taking other considerations (social, ecological and ethical) into account.

At DMG, some of the measures that have been adopted to contribute to the conservation of our environment, prevent pollution and minimize negative environmental impacts are:

• Promoting research and development of technologies, methods and processes that contribute to the optimization of resources and raw materials within our business activity.
• Betting on the circular economy of processes, developing R+D+i projects that have made innovation possible in production processes, as well as environmental improvements focused on the decontamination and reuse of water with a high organic load.
• Using our own solar panels and an external supply of electrical energy, certified as coming from 100% renewable sources.
• Manufacturing aromatic compositions, respecting the sustainable production and consumption policies of certifications such as Ecolabel, Ecocert or Blue Angel, thus guaranteeing compliance with national and international ecological standards.
• Promoting the creation of aromatic compounds made from essential oils, oleoresins and other 100% natural raw materials.

Such commitments have been synergistically integrated into our manufacturing processes, resulting in increased production, while significantly reducing the company’s carbon and water footprint.

If you want your product to have a sustainably produced fragrance that is respectful of both the end user and the environment, without sacrificing the performance and efficacy to which they are accustomed, do not hesitate to contact us.

The Moblastop Project has a total budget of 1.17 million euros and will develop a novel method for creating an active greenhouse cover against pests, which will make it possible to avoid the difficulty of incorporating natural repellent polymers in a technically and economically viable way, using bentonites and taking advantage of the properties of these compounds as substance absorbers.

Plants have been shown to have defence mechanisms against pests through substances that they produce themselves which are detected by vector insects due to their volatility. These natural repellents can be incorporated into the polymer so that they are released by it progressively throughout the shelf life of the greenhouse cover.

The MoBlaStop Project designs a consortium made up of three companies ranging from obtaining bentonites of natural origin for their functionalization, extraction, and modification of natural insect repellent substances, to the transformation of plastics through the addition of active substances.

The companies participating in the project are:

Solplast S.A., manufacturer of greenhouse covers,

Destilerías Muñoz Gálvez, S.A., manufacturer of chemical-aromatic substances,

and Clariant Ibérica Producción, S.A., as a company producing natural bentonites.

Likewise, it is being developed in conjunction with the CETEC Technology Centre and the Cajamar-Las Palmerillas Experimental Station:

CETEC, a specialist in plastics in the different facets of its additivation, transformation and analysis, and with wide experience in the participation and management of consortium projects.

Cajamar-Las Palmerillas Experimental Station, a reference technological centre in intensive Mediterranean agriculture, with long experience in crop protection, pests, and post-harvest diseases, and application of molecular techniques for the detection and identification of pathogens and pests.

Three companies and two technology centres will run the LiberCarn Project between 2016-2018, which has been subsidised by the CDTI through the Innterconecta Program 2016, belonging to the Government Program of R&D&i of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, and financed jointly with FEDER funds, oriented to the Challenges of the Society for the resolution of the problems and present and future needs of our society.

The LiberCarn Project will develop a system for incorporating natural antimicrobials and antioxidants into clays that will allow to place an active, recyclable, and low-cost container for fresh perishable foods on the market, which will increase the shelf life, quality of packaged food and also improve their safety. While it may be suitable for a wide range of foods, the project will seek to apply and validate the resulting materials and technologies for packaging fresh or processed meat. The project lasts for 27 months, ending in December 2018.

LiberCarn is led by Coopbox Hispania de Lorca, with the participation of two other companies: Destilerías Muñoz Gálvez in Murcia and Portalconsa in O Porriño (Pontevedra), and two technology centres: CETEC (Plastics and Footwear Technology Center) in Alhama de Murcia and CTC (Meat Technology Centre) in Ourense.
