Italian pasta manufacturer Garofalo now uses a mono-material packaging by Sabic. It is the first\u00a0mono-PP pasta packaging material in the market containing 30 per cent of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The PCR content in the bags is based on post-consumer used plastics, which is turned into pyrolysis oil in an advanced recycling process<\/strong>. At Sabic<\/a>, the pyoil is used in the production of new polymers with the same specifications as virgin plastics from conventional feedstock. Polivouga, a vertically integrated Portuguese manufacturer of flexible films for packaging products uses a<\/p>

Sabic PP 525PC grade from the company's TRUCIRCLE portfolio of certified circular polymers to produce the basic BOPP film<\/strong> for the new pasta packaging solution. GT Polifilm, a specialist in the production of flexible polypropylene products for automated packaging in the food industry, adds a cast PP film to the BOPP film to create a mono-material structure, which is then converted to tailor-made pasta bags. Once used, the mono-PP bags can easily be recycled again in existing PP waste streams.<\/p>

\"For such solutions to work in the long-term, the partners in the material value chain must closely collaborate. With our TRUCIRCLE programme, we are pushing for innovative business models to transform our industry from a linear to a circular one and help prevent the valuable material of end-of-life plastic applications from being wasted. Within a year, this remarkable joint project has shown what can be achieved to make this vision come true if all players work together to maximise post-consumer plastic recycling and sustainability.\"<\/p>

Abdullah Al-Otaibi<\/strong>, General Manager, ETP & Market Solutions at Sabic\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>

Sabic's circular materials are produced using a mass balance accounting scheme according to the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS programme<\/strong>which follows a set of predefined and transparent rules for tracking the material flow across complex supply chains from the feedstock to the final application.<\/p>

\"At Garofalo, we are fully committed to the quality and environmental compatibility of our products. Of course, this innovative new recycled pasta packaging is just one example of our sustainable initiatives, but marks an important step forward. It shows how food manufacturers and packaging suppliers are working together to bring about much needed change. As a packaging product that is both made with recycled content and fully recyclable, it also meets with a better consumer appeal.\"<\/p>

Dr Sergio De Gennaro<\/strong>, Quality Assurance Manager, Pastificio Lucio Garofalo S.p.A.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>

As a more responsible solution, flexible mono-material with PCR content is potentially the preferred packaging route for a growing number of brand owners and retailers, while it is also supported by EU authorities and NGOs.<\/p>

\"The development and manufacture of sustainable and economically viable packaging solutions to help reduce food and plastic waste is firmly rooted in our DNA. The incorporation of recycled content has been a key area of focus for us over the past few years. By supporting the circular economy, adding value to plastics and promoting their recycling into new packaging products, we hope to make a significant contribution to solving the enormous challenge of improving recycling rates and minimising plastic waste.\"<\/p>
