Bormioli's Plastics Division pays the greatest attention to sustainable development and the defence of the environment. Recyclable materials, bioplastics and biodegradable plastics bear witness to Bormioli Rocco’s green commitment.

Out of respect for end consumers who are increasingly aware of the need to defend the planet, the Plastics Division offers plastic packaging for cosmetics and other sectors, made from ecologically sustainable materials.

One such material is 100% POST CONSUMPTION recycled PET. This polymer from the polyester family is subjected to rigorous cleaning activities – manual, physical, visual and chemical – in order to ensure its purity. Cosmetics bottles made from this material have a transparency comparable with that obtained using virgin PET.

Other important results can be seen on the biodegradable resins front, such as PLA. This is a polylactide acid derived from maize corn, which is used for making plastic containers and packaging for food.

Like PET, PLA has excellent transparency and is manufactured using the Injection Stretch Blow Moulding technique, which produces thin but resistant plastic. Bioplastics and recycled or biodegradable materials are increasingly in demand by companies who want to use low environmental impact packaging and to link their products to ecological values and protection of natural resources.

Bormioli Rocco is following the path of research and experimentation towards a future that is increasingly bio… and bioplastic!
