Infia committed to sustainability of plastic packaging

INFIA, also through the Pro Food Group (Group of Packaging Producers for Fresh Food), of which she is founder and member, is actively engaged in improving the efficiency of the recovery and recycling chain of plastic packaging, reaching out to the industries and institutions in order to explain the real benefits of packaging. All of the companies in the Pro Food association invest significant resources with the objective of increasing the sustainability of their manufacturing sites, production processes and products. Based on the international ISO 14040 standard and accredited by independent organization Accredia, the group has launched a voluntary process for certifying the environmental footprint of products, focusing on rigid containers for fresh foods. Pro Food missionThe primary objective of Pro Food is to improve and, where possible, to increase the overall sustainability of plastic food and beverage containers.Its efforts target all stages of the life cycle:    - Creation through ecodesign    - Production through adoption of progressively more efficient technology    - End of life through an increasingly close connection with the collection, sorting and recycling chain. Pro Food is committed to emphasizing the real – i.e., the overall environmental, economic, functional and social sustainability – that the products already offer now, through objective information and, wherever possible, the most comprehensive scientific information and third party certifications available. Working as a groupPro Food Italy brings together manufacturers of plastic containers and tableware for fresh food that are already associated with Unionplast. To date, the association includes 15 companies with a significant number of plants and employees in Italy. As a whole, they represent a sizable portion of exports. And, today, these companies form a united front to improve product sustainability and to inform the public via transparent communication campaigns and factual content.
