We actively collaborated with Parmalat on an innovative circular economy project called “RiCarta®“, which won the 2019 oscar of the “Best Packaging” competition during the event “Packaging of the future and environmental sustainability”, organised by H-Farm and Repubblica in collaboration with Conai and Istituto Italiano Imballaggio.

The virtuous circle consists in the recovery of Tetra Pak® beverage cartons used for packaging milk and juices produced at the Parmalat plant in Collecchio, their delivery to the paper mill for recycling where the cellulose is recovered to make new reels of paper. These reels are transformed by us into new packaging made of 100% recycled cardboard and used to transport Santàl products to points of sale.

The result is a sustainable circular economy that recovers resources for new products and reduces environmental impacts.
