SUSTAINABILITY

Packaging for a Sustainable Future.
Sustainability is in Our DNA.
We develop eco-sustainable packaging with a reduced environmental impact and actively collaborate with local institutions.

For Plastotecnica, sustainability is a fundamental pillar of the company’s strategy, involving every area of its business.

Recyclable packaging for an eco-sustainable future.

For Plastotecnica, sustainability is a fundamental pillar of the company’s strategy, involving every area of its business. The commitment to sustainable production is reflected in the reduction of CO₂ emissions, achieved through energy efficiency and production optimization. We develop recyclable packaging with a lower environmental impact and actively collaborate with local institutions. Responsible use of resources, investment in employee well-being, and continuous improvement in health and safety practices complete our path toward sustainable and responsible growth, in line with sustainability and circularity principles.

Our commitment to sustainability.

Plastotecnica’s sustainability goals are broad and involve various areas, as a sustainable approach is only effective when integrated into the entire company system. This commitment goes beyond production, involving all our partners. Our sustainability targets are clear, concrete, and aligned with our corporate mission.

Towards Circularity

Our commitment focuses on increasing the use of secondary raw materials in our packaging and designing solutions that fully fit into recovery and reuse cycles.
We promote the use of mono-materials, simplifying separation and recycling.
We prefer minimal printing and light colors, such as opaque white, to further facilitate recycling processes compared to dark films containing carbon black.

Reduction of film thickness

Continuous research drives us to constantly improve, and the reduction of film thickness has been a focus for Plastotecnica for years.
We are also committed to using innovative, high-performance raw materials, optimizing process parameters, and collaborating with our customers to ensure the efficiency of sustainable packaging solutions.

Waste Minimization

We aim to minimize waste disposal by reducing production scraps and optimizing processes.
We add value to our by-products through careful separation, selection, and regeneration using cutting-edge technologies.

Brokerage of non-hazardous plastic waste

Obtaining the non-hazardous plastic waste intermediary qualification is certainly useful: Plastotecnica manages the recovery process for non-hazardous plastic waste and finds specialized and reliable partners for transport and remanufacturing.


Advantages:

  • Controlled supply chain: highly selected scraps and waste.
  • A high-quality finished product with guaranteed performance.
  • Awareness and training on the use of secondary raw materials.
  • Closed loop: enhancement of plastic waste, with a commitment to constant recycling and continuous waste reduction.

OUR APPROACH
- LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT

Ultra-thin films for sustainable packaging

Our high-performance ultra-thin films allow for a significant reduction in the material used per packaging unit.
This results in major environmental benefits, including lower CO₂ emissions, lighter transport, and less waste to dispose of.
Skin.Lite can support your sustainable packaging strategy.

Packaging made from recycled or circular polyethylene

The BiGreen product line, made with mechanically recycled polyethylene, enables the creation of a virtuous circular economy across the entire flexible packaging supply chain. 

Packaging from renewable sources

The BiGreen Renewable range uses polyethylene derived from renewable sources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
By lowering CO₂ emissions during the production cycle, these films offer a sustainable solution through more environmentally friendly packaging.

The Bi.One product line for lamination films

Plastotecnica’s R&D team is at the forefront of developing monomaterial laminates, in line with the principles of the circular economy.
These solutions replace multimaterial structures, making packaging easier to recycle and contributing to the reduction of environmental impact.

Our sensitivity

An excellent system for making packaging more sustainable and circular consists of incorporating a portion of recycled polyethylene content within the film, while simultaneously reducing waste and saving resources.

Materials with recycled content

  • Marked with BiGreen® Advanced eco film. These products can obtain the Plastica Seconda Vita certified label;
  • ISCC+ International Sustainability & Carbon Certification: awarded to films made with circular raw materials derived from the chemical recycling of post-consumer packaging, specifically designed for the food packaging sector.

Mono-material films for PE//PE laminates

With their 100% PE structure, they make end-of-life recycling easier compared to heterogeneous multilayer films, meeting the Design for Recycling requirements of the new European Packaging Regulation.
