Among the most used materials in the sector we find the low density polyethylene (LDPE), The high density polyethylene (HDPE) and the polypropylene (PP), three solutions that, thanks to their technical characteristics, allow the creation of a wide range of packaging intended for the most diverse industrial and commercial sectors.

At Teamplast, we transform these materials into customized envelopes, bags, shopping bags, and packaging, designing the best solution for each customer's specific application needs.

Why is the material so important?

Each product to be packaged has different needs.

Some items require high mechanical resistance, others require transparency, lightness, rigidity or particular aesthetic characteristics.

The correct choice of material allows you to:

• optimize packaging costs;
• improve product protection;
• increase the efficiency of packaging lines;
• improve the end-user experience;
• promote the recovery and recycling of end-of-life packaging.

For this reason, the selection of raw materials is always one of the first aspects analyzed by Teamplast technicians during the development of a new project.

LDPE: flexibility and versatility

Low density polyethylene, LDPE, is one of the most used materials in flexible packaging thanks to its exceptional versatility.

It is characterized by:

• high flexibility;
• excellent impact resistance;
• excellent weldability;
• good transparency;
• high elasticity.

These characteristics make it ideal for the production of:

• clothing bags;
• personalized shopping bags;
• industrial packaging;
• technical bags;
• e-commerce packaging;
• packaging for commercial products.

LDPE is often the best choice when looking for softness, resistance and ease of use.

HDPE: lightness and resistance

High density polyethylene, HDPE, has a more compact molecular structure which gives it different characteristics compared to LDPE.

Its main advantages are:

• high tensile strength;
• excellent weight/performance ratio;
• greater rigidity;
• excellent puncture resistance;
• possibility of reducing thicknesses while maintaining high performance.

HDPE is frequently used for:

• lightweight, high-resistance shoppers;
• retail bags;
• packaging for the food sector;
• technical and industrial packaging;
• applications where high robustness is required with minimal use of material.

Thanks to its characteristics, it often allows significant weight reductions to be achieved without compromising the performance of the packaging.

PP: transparency and aesthetic quality

Polypropylene, PP, it is particularly appreciated when the packaging must visually enhance the product contained.

Its main features include:

• high gloss;
• excellent transparency;
• excellent rigidity;
• good mechanical resistance;
• high aesthetic quality.

For these reasons PP is used above all for:

• packaging intended for the fashion sector;
• promotional packaging;
• stationery;
• products intended for display in points of sale;
• packaging that requires a high visual impact.

When aesthetics play a central role, polypropylene often represents the most suitable solution.

Different materials, a common goal: maximum adaptability

One of the major strengths of LDPE, HDPE and PP is their extraordinary ductility.

These materials can in fact be transformed into a wide variety of customized solutions:

• side-sealed envelopes;
• bags with bottom seal;
• shopper with die-cut handle;
• bags with gussets;
• packages with micro-perforations;
• packaging with pre-cuts;
• custom printed envelopes;
• packaging for automatic lines.

The ability to customize formats, thicknesses, mechanical characteristics, and graphics allows us to develop packaging perfectly suited to the needs of each sector.

Single-material packaging: a choice geared towards the circular economy

Today, packaging must not only perform well, but also be designed to facilitate proper end-of-life management.

For this reason Teamplast favours the creation of single-material solutions, which facilitate collection, selection and recycling operations.

Bags made of LDPE, HDPE and PP can in fact be disposed of in the respective plastics recovery streams and reintroduced into the production processes in the form of new raw material.

The use of single-material structures represents one of the fundamental principles of modern sustainable packaging design, as it contributes to improving the recyclability of packaging and reducing the dispersion of resources.

Recyclability: a concrete value

We often tend to consider plastic exclusively as waste, forgetting that materials such as LDPE, HDPE and PP have significant value as a recoverable resource.

If properly collected and sent to treatment plants, these polymers can be sorted, ground, regenerated and transformed into new applications.

True sustainability depends not only on the materials used, but on the entire life cycle of the product, from design to final recovery.

For this reason, Teamplast constantly invests in the development of technically efficient, single-material packaging that is fully compatible with modern circular economy processes.

The right solution comes from experience

There is no single best material.

However, there is the most suitable material for each application.

The choice between LDPE, HDPE, and PP depends on numerous factors: product weight, packaging method, aesthetic requirements, required strength, logistics, and sustainability objectives.

Thanks to the experience gained in the transformation of plastic materials and the complete integration of extrusion, printing and welding processes, Teamplast is able to guide each customer in choosing the most effective solution.

Because good packaging doesn't just come from quality raw materials, but from the ability to transform them into the most suitable solution for real market needs.

Teamplast will continue to support the Blucerchiati club this season, providing the shopping bags and e-commerce bags used to distribute official merchandise, both in physical stores and online.

The shopping bags are used both in official team stores and in shops specializing in the sale of sporting goods and technical clothing.

Clothing Bags: Protecting and Enhancing Your Product

Another particularly important application sector is that of bags for packaging clothing.

Race jerseys, tracksuits, technical jackets, shorts, and merchandise require effective protection during storage, transportation, and distribution.

The envelopes made by Teamplast guarantee:

• protection from dust and humidity;
• high transparency of the material;
• excellent product presentation;
• possibility of graphic customization;
• compatibility with automatic packaging systems.

Each solution is developed based on the customer's needs and the characteristics of the product to be packaged.

Packaging for sports e-commerce

In recent years, the growth of online sales has transformed packaging into a fundamental element of the shopping experience.

E-commerce envelopes must in fact simultaneously guarantee:

• protection of contents during transport;
• lightness to optimize logistics costs;
• resistance to stress;
• coordinated brand image.

Teamplast solutions allow you to safely ship merchandise, clothing, and sports accessories, offering the end customer professional and instantly recognizable packaging.

The experience gained with important sports clubs

Over the years, Teamplast has had the privilege of collaborating with numerous Italian professional football clubs, creating customized packaging for official stores, merchandising, and e-commerce.

Experiences that have allowed us to develop a deep knowledge of the needs of the sports sector, where packaging quality, brand image and punctuality in supplies they represent essential elements.

It will be a pleasure to meet you and tell you about the Teamplast world directly in our city.

But what does this really mean for businesses, producers, and consumers?

And above all: is single-use plastic really destined to disappear?

The answer is much more complex than is often told.

What is PPWR?

The PPWR It is the new European regulation that will replace the current packaging directive.

Europe's stated objective is:

• reduce packaging waste;
• improve recycling;
• encourage reuse where truly sustainable;
• promote the circular economy;
• reduce waste of materials and resources.

Unlike European directives of the past, a regulation has direct application in all member states, thus creating more uniform rules across Europe.

As reported by the European Commission on the official page dedicated to packaging waste, PPWR covers the entire life cycle of packaging, from design to waste management.

Plastic is not banned

One of the biggest misconceptions about PPWR Regulation it concerns precisely this point.

The regulation does not ban plastic.

And it doesn't automatically eliminate all single-use packaging.

In reality, the new European approach aims above all at:

• eliminate unnecessary packaging;
• reduce excess packaging;
• improve recyclability;
• encourage the use of properly designed materials;
• increase the recycled content.

This means that well-designed, recyclable and functional plastic packaging will continue to play a central role in the market.

The point is not to eliminate a material outright, but to design more efficient packaging, easier to recover, and more consistent with the principles of the circular economy.

Why monomaterial becomes fundamental

One of the key concepts of the PPWR It is the design of packaging with end-of-life recovery in mind.

And this is where the single-material packaging takes on enormous importance.

A package made of a single material, for example LDPE or HDPE, it is in fact much simpler to:

• identify;
• select;
• recover;
• recycle.

On the contrary, complex multi-layered packaging or packaging made from different materials is often more difficult to manage in industrial recycling processes.

For this reason, the European market is increasingly moving towards simplified structures, recyclable materials, and packaging designed according to the principles of circularity.

Warning: Reuse does not always mean sustainability

One of the most discussed aspects of the PPWR Regulation it concerns the theme of reuse.

It is often thought that reusable packaging is automatically more sustainable than disposable packaging.

But this isn't always the case.

Real sustainability depends on many factors:

• energy consumption;
• transport;
• washings;
• weight of the material;
• CO₂ emissions;
• water used;
• actual number of reuses.

In many cases, lightweight, fully recyclable, single-material plastic packaging can have a lower environmental impact than heavier, more complex, or more difficult-to-manage alternatives.

This is why today we are increasingly talking about a scientific approach based on analysis LCA, Meaning what Life Cycle Assessment, and not only on the emotional perception of materials.

The main PPWR deadlines

The PPWR Regulation It will be implemented progressively through several key stages involving producers, converters, brand owners, and packaging supply chain operators.

February 11, 2025

Official entry into force of the PPWR Regulation.

August 12, 2026

General application of the regulation throughout the European Union.

From this date, many operational provisions begin to apply, including:

• general rules on packaging design;
• operator liability;
• sustainability requirements;
• some restrictions on substances used in packaging.

2027

First operational implementations for:

• harmonized labelling;
• information systems;
• instructions for separate waste collection;
• obligations for some HoReCa and take-away sectors.

2028

The following will gradually come into force:

• new European rules for packaging labelling;
• harmonized information systems;
• more detailed requirements for the composition of packaging.

2029

Obligation for Member States to activate deposit systems, also known as DRS, for plastic and metal beverage containers up to 3 litres.

January 1, 2030

This is probably the most important date for the packaging sector.

From this moment:

• all packaging must be designed for recycling;
• non-recyclable packaging will no longer be allowed to be placed on the market;
• The first minimum recycled content requirements for plastics will come into force.

Examples of minimum expected recycled content:

• 30% for PET bottles;
• 35% for many other types of plastic packaging;
• 10% for certain food contact sensitive packaging.

The regulation already provides for further deadlines, including stages in 2035, 2038 and up to the 2040. For this quick explanation, however, we prefer to focus on the key dates, aware that in the coming years there may be updates, clarifications, and possible application developments to the regulation.

The real goal: designing packaging better

The PPWR is sending a very clear message to the packaging industry: we shouldn't eliminate useful packaging, but design smarter packaging.

Eliminating packaging entirely in many sectors would mean increased food waste, damage, logistical inefficiencies, and energy consumption.

The real objective is therefore to design packaging:

• lighter;
• more recyclable;
• easier to select;
• more efficient from a production point of view;
• more consistent with recovery chains;
• more suited to a truly circular economy.

Today, as Teamplast Srl, We view 2030 as a key milestone for the packaging sector. We are proud to already be well advanced on many aspects required by the regulation, particularly the development of single-material and recyclable solutions.

Teamplast and future-oriented packaging

In this scenario, Teamplast Srl has been operating in line with the evolution of the European market for some time.

The company develops flexible packaging in LDPE and HDPE, designed with particular attention to:

• monomateriality;
• production efficiency;
• reduction of the complexity of structures;
• technical quality;
• recoverability of the material;
• performance optimization.

The future of packaging won't be about "plastic-free" slogans, but about better-designed materials, efficient collection systems, and a true circular economy.

Because the problem is not the material itself, but the way it is designed, used, collected and recovered.

The PPWR Regulation It therefore represents a significant challenge, but also a concrete opportunity for all companies that want to innovate in a serious, responsible, and measurable way.

For Teamplast Srl, means continuing to invest in technical solutions capable of combining performance, sustainability and industrial responsibility.

There are values that go beyond daily work.

Values like commitment, perseverance, sacrifice and determination belong to sport, but also to the way we approach our work every day in Teamplast Srl.

For this reason we are particularly proud to congratulate our collaborator Massimiliano Ferri, historic Teamplast driver, who took part in the famous running event of the Stramilano, also carrying with it the name and logo of our company.

A simple yet meaningful gesture that speaks of belonging, passion, and team spirit.

A race that represents much more than a competition

There Stramilano It's one of the most well-known and attended sporting events in Italy. Every year, thousands of people test their skills with sport, passion, and the desire to push themselves to their limits.

Participating in an event like this requires hard work, preparation, and determination. These are all qualities that Massimiliano demonstrates daily in his work.

See him run with the logo Teamplast It was a source of pride and satisfaction for us, because it perfectly represents the spirit of our company: people who commit themselves every day with seriousness, energy, and passion.

Teamplast: a company made up of people

Behind every production, every delivery, and every project are people who make a concrete contribution to the company's growth.

In Teamplast Srl We strongly believe in the human value of work and are convinced that results are built thanks to the daily commitment of the entire team.

This is why initiatives like Massimiliano's take on special meaning: taking the Teamplast name outside the company, at such an important and well-attended event, means sharing belonging, enthusiasm, and team spirit.

A company isn't just made up of machinery, products, and processes. It's primarily made up of people, relationships, responsibilities, and shared values.

Sport as a symbol of commitment and determination

Sport and work have many aspects in common:

• constancy;
• discipline;
• collaboration;
• ability to face challenges;
• determination to achieve goals.

They are the same values that guide us every day Teamplast Srl in the production of flexible packaging in LDPE and HDPE intended for various industrial sectors.

In work, as in sports, every result comes from preparation, focus, and consistency. Every achievement is the fruit of a journey, a team, and individuals who choose to give their best.

Thanks Massimiliano!

On behalf of all Teamplast Srl, we want to say thank you to Massimiliano Ferri for having proudly represented our reality at Stramilano.

A small, yet important gesture that demonstrates how a company's value is primarily made up of the people who work there, every day.

Massimiliano's participation is a source of pride for us and a concrete example of the spirit we want to continue cultivating: passion, commitment, belonging and teamwork.

But what does science really say?

The answer is very different from what is often portrayed. The problem of marine pollution exists, but the image of a solid patch of plastic is a simplified media representation, often far from scientific reality.

There is no real “island” of floating plastic

Several scientific studies and international researchers confirm that there is no solid, compact floating plastic platform visible from above or traversable like an artificial island.

What is commonly called Great Pacific Garbage Patch it is actually a vast ocean area where marine currents concentrate dispersed floating materials, mainly microplastics and low-density debris.

In many cases, those who cross these areas do not see a “continuous expanse of plastic” at all, but a seemingly normal sea, with variable concentrations of small fragments.

This distinction is also explained by Ocean Generation delves into the myths surrounding plastic pollution. and from FactMyth's analysis of the alleged plastic island in the ocean.

Who was the first to talk about this huge problem in the oceans?

One of the most important names linked to the diffusion of this theme is that of Captain Charles Moore, among the first to publicly report the presence of large concentrations of plastic in the ocean.

Moore, often associated with the discovery of the “zone” that fueled the myth of the plastic island, talks about it in his book Plastic Ocean: How a Sea Captain's Chance Discovery Launched a Determined Quest to Save the Oceans.

And here's what he says in his book:

“Let's say right away that what we found was not a mountain of garbage, a garbage island, a garbage raft, or a garbage vortex—all media-created exaggerations of the truth. It would later become known as the Great Pacific Plastic Patch, a term that proved very useful but, once again, suggests something different from what's actually out there. It was and is a thin plastic soup, a soup lightly seasoned with plastic flakes, enriched here and there with "dumplings": buoys, clumps of nets, floats, crates, and other macro-debris.“

This distinction is fundamental: the problem is no less real, but it is different from how it is often portrayed.

The work of the Plastics Research Council: bringing the debate back to the science

One of the groups that is contributing most to bringing the topic back to a scientific basis is the Plastic Research Council, a non-profit organization composed of scientists and researchers engaged in the technical analysis of environmental data related to plastics.

According to analyses published by the group, much of the information disseminated over the years has been amplified or communicated inaccurately, creating a distorted perception of the problem.

The Plastic Research Council underlines a very important point: most of the floating plastic mass identified in the ocean areas does not derive from single-use household packaging, but mainly from lost or abandoned fishing gear.

Fishing nets and ghost nets: the real documented problem

One of the most interesting aspects that emerged from the research concerns the composition of ocean waste.

A study published in Scientific Reports, “Evidence that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is rapidly accumulating plastic”, and reported by the Plastic Research Council, highlights that between 75% and 86% of the large floating plastic mass in the Pacific is made up of fishing nets, ropes and dispersed marine equipment.

The so-called ghost nets, or “ghost nets”, represent a real problem because they continue to trap marine life even after they have been abandoned.

Also Wired, in the article “Fishing Gear Is the Biggest Ocean Plastic Polluter”, highlights the weight of lost fishing gear in the problem of marine plastic pollution.

So the real problem is not the plastic itself, but human behavior and the communication that is built around the theme.

Failure to cut tangled or damaged fishing nets and leave them scattered in the oceans, or discarding unusable items from ships or fishing vessels, should be recognized as irresponsible behavior. Correct, targeted, and data-driven communication could help better understand the problem.

But this is often not done. The real issue is not addressed. The preference is to construct a false image of a mountain of plastic waste floating in the sea, and the viewer believes it without delving deeper, ending up generically accusing the material and its derivatives.

Plastic is not the enemy: the problem is mismanagement and human behavior.

Confusing material with human behavior is one of the most common errors in public debate.

Plastic is one of the most efficient materials ever developed in terms of:

• lightness;
• product protection;
• waste reduction;
• food preservation;
• logistics efficiency;
• reducing emissions from transport.

Numerous studies of Life Cycle Assessment demonstrate that indiscriminately replacing plastic with other materials can increase energy consumption, CO₂ emissions, and the amount of waste produced.

This means, in many cases, making the situation worse.

Even the Plastic Research Council, in the in-depth study “What Science Says About Plastics and the Environment”, underlines the importance of evaluating materials throughout their entire life cycle, avoiding substitutions based solely on perception.

The value of single-material packaging

And this is where the single-material packaging plays a fundamental role.

The packaging in LDPE and HDPE monomaterial in fact they allow you to:

• facilitate waste sorting;
• improve recyclability;
• reduce the complexity of structures;
• optimize the recovery of plastic materials;
• maintain high technical performance.

Real sustainability comes through intelligent design, efficient collection, and the circular economy, not simplistic slogans.

Well-designed, recyclable packaging that's consistent with recycling chains can represent a concrete solution. Not because "plastic must be protected" regardless, but because each material must be assessed based on its real impact, its function, and its end-of-life management.

Teamplast and the culture of responsible packaging

Teamplast Srl strongly believes in this vision: plastic packaging should not automatically be considered a problem, but a resource to be designed and managed correctly.

For this reason the company develops flexible solutions in LDPE and HDPE monomaterial oriented towards:

• production efficiency;
• product protection;
• logistics optimization;
• recoverability of the material;
• technical quality and durability.

In a market often dominated by superficial communication and poorly contextualized information, it's crucial to return to the topic of scientific data, innovation, and real responsibility.

Because the future of packaging doesn't depend on demonizing materials, but on the ability to use them correctly, intelligently, and sustainably.

And those who work in the sector have a specific responsibility: to help spread accurate information, based on real scientific data and a more comprehensive view of the problem.

Plastic shouldn't be talked about with slogans. It needs to be better designed, better managed, and better communicated.

For this reason, the Teamplast Srl printing department plays a strategic and central role within the company's entire production process. Thanks to the use of advanced technologies, the company creates customized, visually striking packaging, meticulously designed to meet the technical and aesthetic needs of various industrial sectors.

Printed packaging: much more than just a simple package

Today, packaging is, in effect, a product's "business card." It's often the first point of physical contact between the brand and the customer. Careful graphics, the use of bold colors, and high-precision printing serve not only to enhance the product, but also to convey a message of professionalism, reliability, and intrinsic value.

In the case of the printed flexible packaging, graphic customization allows you to obtain immediate competitive advantages:

• Strengthening brand identity: packaging becomes an extension of corporate communication.

• Better recognition: It makes it easier to identify the product on the shelf or in logistics warehouses.

• Clear communication: allows you to enter technical, logistical or commercial information that is essential for the user.

• Differentiation: helps you stand out from the competition in increasingly saturated markets.

For many companies, the printed envelope or film is no longer just a container, but a true active marketing tool that accompanies the product throughout its entire useful life.

Printing up to 8 colors: superior quality and color rendering

The beating heart of Teamplast Srl's printing department is designed to offer processes characterized by extreme precision and reliability. The technological capacity to reach up to 8 colors opens up a virtually unlimited range of creative and technical possibilities.

This configuration allows you to create:

• Extremely detailed logos and fine lines that do not lose sharpness.

• High definition images with soft nuances and accurate tonal transitions.

• Complex graphic elements which require a perfect color overlap.

• Coordinated packaging that faithfully respect the visual identity manuals of the most demanding customers.

Multicolour printing is particularly crucial in sectors where aesthetic impact guides purchasing choices or defines product positioning, such as in the to feed, in fashion, cosmetics and pet food.

Technical precision and continuity in industrial packaging

If aesthetics are important, in industrial packaging the production continuity It's vital. It's not enough for the first envelope to be perfect; the one hundred thousandth must be identical to the first. Teamplast's rigorous control of the printing process ensures color consistency between different production batches, impeccable legibility of text (even small ones), and pinpoint precision in print registers.

Managing this phase in-house allows Teamplast Srl to monitor every single step, drastically reducing production waste and ensuring a responsiveness that outsourced processes cannot offer. This control translates into greater reliability for the customer, who can count on consistent, superior-quality supplies.

Tailor-made customization: each sector has its own look

Teamplast doesn't offer standardized solutions, but rather tailor-made approaches. Each industrial sector has different technical and regulatory requirements that influence the choice of printing and materials. Packaging for the fashion industry will require a soft finish and a premium aesthetic, while a bag for technical or industrial products must prioritize durability and the legibility of codes and instructions.

The Teamplast technical team actively collaborates with the customer to define:

1. The ideal format of the packaging based on the volume of the product.

2. The type of film (LDPE, HDPE or innovative materials).

3. The color rendering and the finishes (glossy, matte or transparent).

4. The logistical needs, ensuring that the print resists handling, storage and external agents.

Innovation and sustainability: printing in the era of the circular economy

The market's shift toward sustainability also directly affects the printing department. Designing single-material packaging that's easier to recover and recycle requires specific expertise in choosing inks and application techniques. Teamplast Srl closely monitors this transformation, developing solutions that combine high technical performance and aesthetic quality with the need to reduce environmental impact.

The goal is to create packaging that is "beautiful and sustainable," where printing does not hinder the recycling process but enhances the plastic material (LDPE/HDPE) chosen for its ability to re-enter the production cycle.

Teamplast as a strategic partner

In a global market where product protection and visual communication must coexist without compromise, choosing a partner with expertise in flexible packaging printing is a strategic decision. Teamplast Srl, thanks to its many years of experience and a cutting-edge printing department, offers much more than a production service: it offers comprehensive consultancy to transform every package into a brand asset.

Because today, packaging must do more than simply contain and protect; it must be able to speak, stand out, and, above all, convey the excellence of the product it contains. Investing in Teamplast print quality It means giving voice to your product and protecting the value of your company.

Innovation in the packaging sector is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, driven by the need to find alternative raw materials that are truly sustainable and less dependent on fossil fuels. This cutting-edge scenario includes: European project Multiply, a strategic initiative funded by the programme Horizon Europe, which promises to redefine the standards of the circular bioeconomy.

The aim of the project is extremely ambitious: to develop 10 new products for 5 different application sectors, using the microalgae as a biological alternative to petrochemical or food-grade raw materials. This challenge combines materials science, biotechnology, and industry, aiming to create a low-impact production ecosystem.

Microalgae: A strategic resource for the circular bioeconomy

Microalgae represent one of the most promising frontiers for modern industry. Unlike terrestrial crops, they do not require agricultural land for food production and possess extremely rapid growth, capturing large amounts of CO2 during their development. Thanks to their biochemical versatility, they can be cultivated to produce functional compounds with high added value.

In the context of the Multiply project, research focuses on five specific species, selected for their unique properties:

• Diatoms: unicellular algae characterized by a silica skeleton, useful for structural applications.

• Arthrospira (Spirulina): known for its high protein content and functional pigments.

• Tetraselmis and Nannochloropsis: lipid-rich species, ideal for the production of bio-based oils.

• Chromochloris zofingiensis: studied for its ability to accumulate carotenoids and complex molecules.

From these biomasses, researchers aim to extract biopolymers and natural additives capable of giving packaging barrier and mechanical properties comparable to those of traditional plastics.

The packaging challenge: from compostable films to barrier coatings

The packaging sector plays a central role within Multiply. Research is aimed not only at creating a biodegradable material, but also at developing technical solutions that solve complex problems in modern logistics. Among the most relevant applications are:

1. High-performance compostable films: flexible packaging capable of degrading naturally without leaving microplastics.

2. Barrier coating for paper substrates: The goal is to create protective layers derived from algae that make the paper resistant to grease and water. This would eliminate traditional paper/polyethylene laminations, making the final packaging much easier to recycle in the paper recycling circuit.

3. Bio-based solutions for flexible packaging: The use of algal oils for the synthesis of new polymers allows for a reduction in the carbon footprint of plastic packaging production.

Active packaging and new features for the market

A revolutionary aspect of Multiply concerns the concept of active packaging, especially applied to the cosmetics sector. In this case, the packaging ceases to be a simple passive container. Thanks to the integration of algal extracts and encapsulation matrices, the packaging interacts positively with the contents, ensuring greater stability of the active ingredients and prolonging the shelf life. shelf life of the product. This approach reduces the need for added chemical preservatives in formulations, offering the end consumer a more natural and safe product.

Innovation, Research, and Sustainability: the future of flexible packaging

The packaging sector is undergoing a profound and irreversible transformation. Microalgae, biomaterials, and innovative coatings are just some of the technologies that could radically change the way we design and consume packaging in the coming years. However, technology alone is not enough: an industrial vision is needed to translate research into solutions applicable on a large scale, while maintaining the production efficiency required by the global market.

For companies like Teamplast Srl, closely following these evolutions means not only remaining competitive, but actively driving the change towards a more responsible business model. The ideal participation in this flow of innovation involves planning that prioritizes simplification of structures. While on the one hand European research such as the Multiply project opens the doors to new bio-based polymers, on the other hand the flexible packaging industry has already identified in monomateriality the key to effective recycling.

In the world of fashion and accessories, the quality perceived by the customer does not only depend on the final product. Even the packaging It plays a fundamental role: it is the first point of contact and the tool that guarantees protection, presentation, and enhancement of the garment at every stage of the supply chain, from production to sale.
