Reduce<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]At ILIP, we are committed every day to reducing the use of plastic materials by decreasing the thickness and weight of packaging while maintaining the performance required for different applications.<\/p>\n

At the same time, we develop solutions that can help preserve the quality of packaged food during distribution and storage, with the aim of limiting food waste throughout the supply chain.[\/vc_column_text]

DOWNGAUGING<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]Reducing packaging weight has been a key element of ILIP\u2019s Fit4Purpose approach for more than a decade. Reducing packaging weight (DOWNGAUGING), while maintaining its intended functionality, safety, consumer convenience, and the performance required for the preservation and protection of packaged food, helps optimize the use of raw materials.<\/p>\n

The chart highlights the continuous reduction in the average weight of fresh produce punnets and trays achieved by ILIP since 2010. Between 2010 and 2025, the average weight was reduced by 18.46%, corresponding to approximately 5,5 k tonnes less raw material (PET, R-PET and PP) used, while maintaining the performance required for the intended applications.<\/p>\n

In addition to weight reduction, ILIP focuses its development activities on the Eco-Design of packaging, with particular attention to recyclability and closed-loop recycling models, as well as on the certification of product environmental performance through Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).\u00a0See the recycling<\/strong> section<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_single_image image=”67942″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1695635224929{padding-top: 2em !important;padding-bottom: 2em !important;}”][vc_column width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-sm-offset-1″ el_class=”order-lg-1 order-2″][vc_single_image image=”67922″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”.vc_custom_1782748188251{padding-top: 2em !important;padding-right: 2em !important;padding-bottom: 2em !important;padding-left: 2em !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”right-to-left” width=”5\/6″ el_class=”background-linear-gradient-grey-vertical shadow-inside order-lg-2 order-1″ css=”.vc_custom_1695801988143{margin-top: 3em !important;margin-bottom: 3em !important;padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-bottom: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_column_text el_class=”no-margin”]Sustainable package is “Fit4Purpose”[\/vc_column_text]

More freshness, less waste<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text]The environmental impact of packaging can only be assessed in relation to the product it contains and the function it serves. This is why a balance must be sought between \u201cunderpackaging\u201d and \u201coverpackaging\u201d: efficient packaging protects food products in an optimal manner, extending their shelf life and minimising both food waste and environmental impact. Ilip supports scientific research on the role played by packaging in food preservation with the aim to reduce food waste.<\/p>\n
