  La gamma delle Lastre in espansione

  Proxital da qualche giorno ha installato ed avviato il nuovo impianto di lastratura e confezionamento automatizzato.

  La gamma di prodotti in lastra si amplia, dallo spessore 20 fino a 120 mm, in tutte le densità: Low, Medium, High ed Extra High.

  

  IL PILASTRO DELLA TECNOLOGIA

  Tale investimento per Proxital è la prosecuzione del Piano industriale 21-23 che ha visto l'avviamento di una nuova linea di estrusione da 1.000 kg/h dedicata principalmente alla produzione di articoli in alta densità e alti spessori.

  Nel corso del prossimo triennio, l'obiettivo sarà quello di portare a pieno regime le tecnologie e gli investimenti fatti, per offrire al mercato ed ai nostri clienti prodotti sempre più innovativi, performanti e sostenibili.

  Updating CONAI classes

  CONAI approved a further decrease of the environmental contribution (or CAC) for packaging, which will come into effect on 1 January 2023.

  In addition, there is a new classification of packaging from five to nine bands with different contribution values.

  La fascia A1 sarà divisa in due: A1.1 e A1.2. The latter remains unchanged, while A1.1 drops to EUR 20/ton.
  Band A2 also remains unchanged, remaining at €150/ton.
  Band B1 is split into B1.1 and B1.2 with the aim of separating PET articles from HDPE articles: the fee remains for both at 20 euros/ton.
  Band B2 splits into three: B2.1 for rigid polypropylene containers, going from 410 to 350 euro/ton. In fascia B2.2 rientrano gli articoli riciclabili a base poliolefinica e il CAC non varia.

  In band B2.3, packaging with experimental and consolidating recycling chains will be included from the current 560 euros/tonne to 555 euros/ton.
  Band C will be reduced with no change to the fee of EUR 560/ton.
  From 1 July 2023 there will be increases for three bands: A1.2 will rise from 60 to 90 euro/ton, band A2 from 150 to 220 euro/ton and band B2.2 from 410 to 477 euro/ton.

  Foam is strength and lightness

  Proxital produces plastic foams out of passion and believes wholeheartedly in the potential and high performance of this material.

  In fact, the structure of the foam, which consists of plastic polymer and microscopic air pockets, allows for extremely light films and manufactured products through the use of minimal amounts of raw material.

  Lightness, strength, insulating capacity, preservation and flexibility are the primary advantages offered by the use of plastic foams: economical films that can protect goods and merchandise from degradation, noise, water, impact, heat and cold.

  Each polymer, depending on its mechanical and physical characteristics, is particularly suitable in certain areas. In this sense Proxital is able to offer a wide range of products, consisting of polymers of various kinds, which can be used in a variety of applications and for the most diverse areas of use. 

  The use of plastic foams therefore proves valuable in particular areas where resistance and insulation, preservation and waterproofing capabilities are required.

  The search for new materials and new production solutions, understood as competitive advantages, are at the basis of the company’s philosophy: constantly oriented toward the development of customer-friendly products.

  The use of sophisticated technologies that probe the entire production process ensure the physical and chemical characteristics of the materials used with the support of more than 400 daily checks.

  Proxital thus focuses on the quality of its products as the cornerstone of constant growth in volume and customer satisfaction.
