ILIP AT FRUIT LOGISTICA 2026: SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS COMBINING CIRCULARITY, CUSTOMISATION AND INTEGRATED SERVICE

The Bologna-based company confirms its presence in Berlin with a complete range of products for fresh fruit and vegetables, from standard packaging to tailor-made solutions. At the heart of this offering is the T2T R-PET® circular economy model and the design support of the Sprint department.

Valsamoggia (BO) 28 January 2026 – From 4 to 6 February, ILIP will participate in Fruit Logistica 2026, the leading international trade fair dedicated to the fruit and vegetable sector, scheduled to take place in Berlin, at Hall 5.2 – Stand D-51, confirming its role as a key partner for sustainable packaging of fresh fruit and vegetables.

At the fair, ILIP will present its complete range of solutions for Fresh Produce Packaging, which includes punnets, trays and fruit nest tarys designed to meet the various needs of packaging, protecting and enhancing fruit and vegetable products. A wide and modular range that allows customers to rely on a single partner for different applications, with a view to providing an integrated service throughout the supply chain.

A central element of the proposal remains the concrete commitment to the circular economy, represented by the T2T R-PET® (tray to tray) process. Thanks to the vertical integration of recycling within the ILPA Group, of which ILIP is a part, the company is able to produce new R-PET packaging using not only bottles, but also post-consumer trays and punnets, returning the recycled material to its original application. A virtuous, “future-proof” model that guarantees quality, traceability and reduced use of virgin raw materials, and already complies with the requirements of the new European packaging regulation regarding the percentage of recycled material and its origin.

Alongside its standard products, ILIP will highlight the value of its Sprint department, which is dedicated to developing customised packaging solutions. Through a collaborative and customer-oriented approach, Sprint supports brands and packagers in designing customised packaging that is optimised in terms of functionality, production performance and sustainability, responding to the specific needs of the product, line and target market.

‘In fruit and vegetables, the quality of packaging is measured by its ability to protect the product and maintain its shelf life, but also by the efficiency it guarantees throughout the supply chain,’ comments Gianluca Tamagnini, Business Unit Manager Fresh Produce Packaging at ILIP. ‘At Fruit Logistica, we are bringing a complete range of punnets, trays and fruit nest trays, accompanied by tailor-made design support and a consolidated circular economy model such as T2T R-PET®.’

Participation in Fruit Logistica 2026 therefore represents an opportunity for ILIP to strengthen its dialogue with the international market and reaffirm its position as a reliable and competent partner, capable of combining innovation, sustainability and service, offering packaging solutions designed to accompany the evolution of the fruit and vegetable sector.

From 4 to 6 February 2026, in Hall 5.2 – Stand D-51, you can meet the ILIP team and learn more about all the packaging solutions dedicated to fresh fruit and vegetables.
