The plastic packaging


The use of plastic for the packaging is obviously the best alternative for packaging. Looking at some statistics it is possible to realize this evidence: for istance in the food sector the plastic packaging is more proprer, because it extends the conservation of the products for a longer period by reducing wastage, and more ever the lower weight and volume of this material reduce the packing weight and volume, affecting about 800 kg each transport with a truck, this allows to save 2 liters of diesel per 100 km, reducing CO2 emissions.

The real issue of this material is the disposal of plastic waste has beem a real problem for years resulted in it the huge cost of ownership and in the high environmental impact, in recent accading to some statistics gathered by experts, industries have develloped a lot in this field in particular in the food sector, 50% of the packaging is made of plastic material, but only 17% ends up in landfill site.

In recent years thanks to a very careful policy in many European countries, plastic has become inert waste for landfill ant it is less than 50% in some central European countries this percentage reaches even the 10%, the rest of plastic waste are recycled into other products or processed into electricity.
