Chemical recycling helps to reduce CO2 footprint and consumption of fossil feedstock for cheese packaging

26 May 2023
Vasu Goyal

The mozzarella cheese is being produced at Rødkærsbro dairy in Denmark. It needs to mature in specially designed maturing bags for about two weeks. The plastic films need to be multi-layered for food safety reasons, but this also means they cannot be recycled through mechanical recycling which is the industry standard across Europe. Therefore, the only option so far has been to send them to incineration after fulfilling their essential role in the production process.

The name of the wine touching wood, a play on words, evokes, on the one hand, the brief passage of the wine in the barrel, for just a period of time to round it off. On the other hand, it refers to that gesture that we make, like an amulet, which is almost a game to maintain good luck.

The design of eva arias collects all this information and transfers it to a graph with a vibrant color palette, which transmits joy and freshness.

When the house of Reynaldi decided last year to enhance its fragrance offer, it called on Coverpla’s Italian subsidiary to help. Thanks to this partnership, four new fragrances were born using catalog references: bottles, caps, pumps and pump covers.

The brand’s brief consisted of modernizing its cologne and eaux de parfum collections in line with market trends. The idea was to create a product that was not just sensorial but that offered the consumer a beautiful object to display in the bathroom or as a gift or a little self-indulgence.
