For the second consecutive year, a Gruppo Happy product has won the prestigious Best Packaging 2024 award from the Italian Institute of Packaging, thanks to an innovative solution which promises to revolutionise the seafood sector: the ZERO crate made from r-XPS, containing up to 50% post-consumer recycled content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The awards took place on the 19th of April \u2013 during Milano Design Week <\/strong>\u2013 led by President Alessandra Fazio<\/strong>, with the competing products evaluated on the basis of accessibility, sustainability and innovation criteria.<\/p>\n\n

For years, seafood packaging has relied on traditional EPS (expanded polystyrene) crates.<\/p>\n\n

This material has always proven reliable in terms of guaranteeing optimum preservation of seafood products, thanks to its robustness and widespread adoption by the main fishing co-operatives in Italy and around Europe. More recently, however, EPS has been subject to criticism due to its alleged polluting qualities. <\/p>\n\n

Indeed, its tendency to crumble \u2013 particularly when mistreated \u2013 has led to the dispersion of micro- and macro-plastics in the seas.Faced with this challenge,Gruppo Happy has developed an alternative solution which is sustainable and totally circular: ZERO, the crate made from XPS (extruded polystyrene).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The strength of this innovative material lies in the continuous extrusion production process, thanks to which it features a tough alveolar structure which, while it can break, does not disintegrate like traditional EPS (which is composed of compacted small particles).<\/p>\n\n

ZERO also stands apart in terms of its versatility and sustainability.<\/strong>Composed of of die-cut sheets of extruded polystyrene, it allows storage space to be significantly reduced. This means that it is possible to transport the equivalent of ten assembled crates in a thickness of just 10-12 cm, allowing for significant reductions in transport and storage costs.But the innovations don’t stop there! <\/p>\n\n

Once ZERO has performed its task, the crate can be reopened and sent for recycling, thus contributing to reductions in waste, and facilitating recovery operations.<\/p>\n\n

Moreover, thanks to the use of XPS containing up to 50% post-consumer recycled material, ZERO offers greater sustainability than traditional crates, helping reduce the environmental impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In conclusion, ZERO represents a turning point in the seafood packaging industry, offering an innovative, sustainable and highly efficient solution for current market needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
