Conai’s classification of plastic packaging
Conai’s classification of plastic packaging has changed, with effect from 1 January 2022. Proxital, after months of direct commitment to this goal and thanks to the collaboration with Dr. Marina Spiazzi of Assindustria Venetocentro, with Prof. Michele Modesti of the University of Padua and with the Federazione Gomma Plastica, is pleased to announce an important change in the classification of packaging.Starting from 2022, 5 bands will be adopted for the classification of plastic packaging, which will take into account the overall degree of eco-sustainability of the same.Proxital PE foam products with a thickness of up to 2 mm. will move from band B2 to band A2, therefore with an annual contribution of € 150.00/t.Proxital PE foam products with a thickness greater than 2 mm. will go from band C to band B2, therefore with an annual contribution of € 520,00/t.The reasons for the reductions derive from the positive trend of materials sent for recycling and optimization actions.Proxital’s research and development division is constantly working to propose further productive evolutions in the perspective of eco-sustainability.

Il Sole 24 ore talks about Proxital
The Sole 24 ore magazine talks about Proxital among the companies active in the defense of health and the environment.
Not all plastics are the same. Since its foundation, Proxital has been producing only sustainable materials, but it is particularly important and urgent to scientifically demonstrate their degree of environmental compatibility and communicate it to the outside world, refuting the mistaken beliefs of the market and the final consumer.
Thanks to the support and advice of Assindustria, we are working on the creation of a validated model for the calculation of the Carbon Footprint of foamed plastics. Proxitalproduces closed-cell Foam, 100% recyclable and regenerable and is actively contributing to the development of a uniform, functional and valid calculator for the purposes of theISO 14067 standard to quantify CO2 emissions for the production of plastic foams.
The market needs clarity and certain references, also in the light of the new ESG Sustainability Report requests from various institutional and banking entities. Proxital has recently introduced REFOAM, a new production technology that has affected the entire range for the extensive use of regenerated raw materials.

Protection for fragile
Rina Menardi is a well known brand in the ceramic art and furnishings sector. The collections are a perfect fusion of art, design and craftsmanship, where aesthetics and functionality meet in unique creations.
To protect these precious artifacts, a material is needed that can effectively compensate and cancel the inevitable micro-bumps in packaging and shipping processes.
After a careful evaluation of the relationship between flexibility and strength, the choice fell on a customized density polyethylene with film, capable of responding with adequate physical and mechanical characteristics. The always active collaboration will soon lead to testing also new materials and solutions, alternatives to the traditionally used materials.
