Massive media campaigns have persistently attacked plastic packaging as being among the main causes of environmental pollution; however, research and data clearly demonstrate the sustainability of plastic packaging. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies comparing different materials often conclude that eliminating plastic packaging would, in fact, be detrimental to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>For Pro Food, LCA research and eco-design are essential tools for continuously improving the environmental profile of its products, through the development of synergies that have, for example, led to the creation of two new recycling streams. These make it possible to close the loop from tray to tray, both in polystyrene (R-PS and R-XPS) and in recycled PET (R-PET).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;20419&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mb-xl-5 mb-3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;20420&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mb-xl-5 mb-3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;green-gradient-background-vertical&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1764092251997{padding-top: 4em !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;we-can-affirm-that&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;text-white mb-5&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Pro Food can affirm that its products:<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<ol class=\"big-number-list row justify-content-center text-white\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"col-xl-4\"><div class=\"big-number-list-item-wrapper\" data-counter=\"0\" style=\"--big-number-list-item-count:'1';\">Extend the shelf life of food, reducing food waste \u2014 which in Europe is estimated at over <strong>59 million tonnes<\/strong>, valued at <strong>\u20ac132 billion<\/strong>.
