Recycling and reduction, alternative and innovative materials, and increasingly efficient processes: these Challenging the future of food packaging Released in December last year italy del gustoa private consortium of Italy’s leading food and wine producers, and edible adventureone of the world’s leading food technology accelerators.
This initiative is supported by eight prominent Italian culinary leaders – amica chips, Auricchio, Pampiuma, parmalat, Ponti, Rovanyati, Urbani Tartufiand Varsoia – We selected 6 startups. Four companies are from Italy, one from Bulgaria and one from Israel. These startups will have the opportunity to collaborate with some of Italy’s most famous food companies and test their solutions in real-life scenarios. Additionally, you will gain access to a collaborative ecosystem and an international network of experts.
From industrial packaging using alternative materials to new proposals to improve production processes and technologies that can extend the shelf life of products, we foster dialogue between companies and start-ups, guided by a common vision of open innovation. 6 cutting edge solutions. Sharing new technologies that may not necessarily be developed in-house. The new project will increasingly help companies reduce single-use plastics and non-recyclable materials, while facilitating the transition to a more conscious and ethically advanced food industry.
Eatable Adventures closely tracks the forefront of agri-food tech innovation around the world. In light of this, the company has supported this challenge in the food packaging sector, attracting new talent and stimulating the exchange of knowledge, ideas and new synergies.
- nice fillerCronogard, an Italian project in the innovative materials category, is a technology that uses specific molecules inserted into packaging through ion exchange that can protect food, keep it fresh longer and reduce waste. We are proposing.
- Foodok®The Italian startup offers modular software solutions that can optimize multilingual labeling processes. Centralize management, streamline operations, reduce operating costs: these are the keywords of a veritable B2B revolution that is poised to change the rules of the game for manufacturers and consultants.
- alter eco pulpWe have introduced “cellulose fiber molding” technology. It is an innovative process that uses natural cellulose fibers from annual plants and agricultural by-products such as bamboo and sugarcane processing waste to produce disposable, environmentally friendly packaging products.
- IUVresearches and develops plastic-free packaging solutions and edible coatings for fresh produce through Naturameri, a naturally occurring, chemically unmodified small molecule found in algae, plants, and even food waste. doing.
- Ribais an all-female Israeli startup that creates intelligent biopreservation and biocontrol solutions aimed at extending the shelf life of food and crops, reducing waste, and promoting more sustainable production. We specialize in the development of
- ram onA Bulgarian startup in the innovative materials category, the company is developing alternative materials to reduce the use of plastics, such as biologically-based laminates and compostable transparent sheets, which are recyclable in the same way as paper and cardboard. We are proposing.
“This initiative is naturally geared toward innovation and aims to research and introduce cutting-edge sustainable packaging solutions.” Said Mr. Giacomo Ponti, Chairman of the Italia del Gusto Consortium. “Working with Eatable Adventures, we were able to activate the virtuous cycle and identify among the valid proposals generated by startups those that best fit the needs of the participating companies.”
