ECOPACK AWARD 2023 TO GALLOPLASTIK

The eco-friendly success of the LessW8 Macroperforated Stretch Film

We are excited about sharing with you some great news: our product “LessW8 Macroperforated Stretch Film” was awarded in the 2023 edition for the Italian prize of Eco-design.

This recognition confirms our commitment to sustainability and innovation. One of the distinguishing features of the LessW8 Macroperforated Stretch Film is the reduced consumption of raw material which results in a significantly reduced ecological footprint compared to traditional products. To evaluate the ecological impact of our packaging, we used the Italian CONAI (National Packing Authority) Eco Tool, which allowed us to make a simplified LCA study based on the following environmental markers:

• Global Warming Potential (GWP);
• Gross Energy Requirement (GER);
• Water Footprint (H2O).

This study, carried out in collaboration with DNV GL’s certifiers, confirms that the switch to a lighter version of our packaging has actually reduced the environmental impact. This victory is just the beginning of our journey towards a more sustainable future; we will keep on innovation and searching for other ways to further improve our ecological footprint, always preserving the high quality and performance our customers expect.
