Polypropylene, the Packaging of the Food Sector
The use of polypropylene as packaging in the food sector represents an innovative and sustainable solution to address environmental challenges related to the management of plastic waste, being 100% recyclable. This material offers numerous advantages in terms of sustainability and food safety.
Environmental Sustainability
Polypropylene can be reused up to 6 times, significantly reducing environmental impact compared to traditional plastics. This contributes to more efficient waste management and a decrease in the amount of plastic ending up in landfills.
Food Safety
Polypropylene is suitable for food contact, adhering to strict safety standards.
It is free from toxic substances and harmful chemical additives, ensuring the quality and hygiene of packaged food products.
Versatility of Use
This material is suitable for a wide range of applications in the food sector, including the production of disposable tableware, food containers, bags, and films.
Its strength and flexibility make it ideal for everyday use, maintaining the organoleptic properties of the food.
Circular Economy
The reuse of polypropylene packaging promotes the circular economy by reducing dependence on virgin resources and extending the lifecycle of materials. This approach decreases the need to produce new packaging, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Compared to cardboard packaging, polypropylene can be reused more than six times, impacting packaging management costs.
