Verallia Italia, a new life for glass

Introducing a new sustainability – packaging paradigm. A virtuous recovery and recycling system has made Italy the world's third largest producer of food-grade glass packaging
Verallia Italia, a new life for glass

Quality no longer applies to content alone – the container now also plays a key role. Functional packaging made from recyclable materials and with a low environmental impact is set to play an increasingly strategic role in the food & beverage industry. High customization, exclusive materials, direct consumer communication are some of the factors that make packaging a winning evergreen to invest in for the future. 

GREEN PACKS: A GROWING TREND 

According to a survey carried out by Nomisma for ITA and presented during the conference “Exports as a growth driver for food & beverage” promoted by Verallia Italia, the trend of sustainable packaging is on the rise. The survey involved an audience of 900 Italian f&b companies and outlines the trends that are expected to shape Italian food consumption in the main foreign markets. Main export drivers include healthy products (as claimed by 9 companies out of 10), followed by products with green attributes – organic products (76% of respondents) with a value of €3.4 billion and a 6% impact on total exports (compared to 4% ten years ago, ed.); products with green packaging (74% of respondents); and lastly, products made with sustainable methods (68% of respondents), for example ensuring animal welfare or a low environmental impact. Another rising trend is geographical designations including PDO and PGI.

MAKE ROOM FOR GLASS 

The green path has now been laid out – 76% of Italian f&b companies consider it important to invest in sustainability over the next 12 months. After all, Italy is leading the green transition in Europe thanks to significant research & development projects and huge investments in material recovery and recycling. Nomisma’s Mass Consumption Packaging Monitoring Unit shows 72% of respondents – not including alcoholic beverages like spirits and wine – believe glass is the most sustainable material with the least environmental impact. This is a significant result, especially when compared to food cartons and plant-based plastics, preferred by 39% and 35% of consumers respectively. The same applies to non-alcoholic beverages like soft drinks and fruit juice. In both cases, glass is the preferred packaging choice over both cartons and plastic, including recycled plastic.
