Tecnologia

For Proxital, constant investment in production and research technologies has always been a hallmark of the company. The creation and patenting of new materials passes from a deep knowledge of processes and machinery, through proprietary solutions that allow to arrive at innovative results for wide applications.

Proxital's know-how has also always been appreciated by machinery manufacturers who have always supported and supported Proxital for the development of high-performance and advanced technologies, which are constantly improving. This commitment then translates into the creation of the most innovative, light, resistant, hi-tech products on the market.

  From Refuse to Resource

  <p>L’economia circolare è un principio che evidenzia il fatto che le cose si influenzano reciprocamente.</p><p>La necessità quindi di creare un equilibrio, una sostenibilità, è maggiormente evidente quando si pone attenzione alla capacità dell’uomo di creare rifiuti. Con la costante crescita della popolazione mondiale, è indispensabile trasformare i rifiuti in risorse, così che si possano inserire nuovamente in un ciclo che ne permetta la trasformazione, portandoli a nuova vita ed utilizzo.</p><p>Proxital ha da sempre considerato la sostenibilità come uno dei suoi pilastri fondanti e agisce concretamente per realizzarla. Uno dei suoi fiori all’occhiello è l’impianto di riciclo completo per il riutilizzo degli sfridi di lavorazione di Polietilene e Polipropilene espanso, sia della produzione interna che dei nostri Clienti, che danno vita a nuovi prodotti 100% riciclabili e rigenerabili.

  University Research

  <p>In its research and development processes, Proxital has always relied on technical experts and research institutes, for the creation of real product and process innovation.</p><p>Proxital has entered into a research contract with the industrial engineering department of Padua University to certify the recyclability of non-crosslinked polyethylene foam in post-consumer processes. </p><p>The raw materials used for the various tests are regenerated LDPE polyethylene, the regenerated LDPE + HDPE mix and the polyolefin mix.These materials were scientifically characterised via spectrophotometry, thermogravimetry analysis, calorimetric and mechanical analysis and with the melt flow index. </p><p>Mixes were then produced with different percentage blends of the various materials, then the extrusion and resistance tests were carried out. Proxital treasures this type of research, in order to launch ever new, better-performing products, which are perfectly sustainable and 100% recyclable and regenerable.</p>

Condivisione

The best ideas are those that are then realized. This philosophy has characterized Proxital since its foundation, creating innovation shared with its customers. Proxital's R&D division developed the new materials from the requests and questions of the customers, which were then created. The dialogue is continuous and the search for solutions is a constant. Thanks to our Customers we have always found new stimuli and new challenges to overcome, each time overcoming the technical limit of the material or machinery, developing new solutions that have allowed its realization. The philosophy of continuous improvement finds in our Customers the perfect stimulus, to truly innovate together.

  Proxital, when the company is smart and runs fast!

  <p>Starting in July 2022, it is not uncommon to see Proxital operators and employees moving around the factory on the brand new electric scooters the company has equipped itself with.</p><p>In fact, there are 18 devices that are given to factory workers and employees to easily and quickly travel the long stretches connecting offices, production, and warehouses within the 14,000-square-meter plant, 5,000 of which are for production alone.</p><p>Always winking at safety, state-of-the-art scooters with maximum safety braking system were chosen and cruising speed was restricted.</p><p>Proxital’s innovative vision for corporate mobility fits pioneeringly into a market trend that looks with increasing interest at micromobility. Ten percent of Italian companies already use it, and according to the latest market surveys, this percentage is set to rise exponentially.</p><p>Taggatofactory smart</p>

  Foam is versatile and lends itself to endless applications

  <p>In the field of electronics for example, the use of foam as a packaging material proves invaluable because in addition to being an environmentally friendly, totally recyclable and regenerable material, it also provides complete protection from impacts and scratches. </p><p>For impact protection, depending on the weight of the object to be packed, you can choose from a wide range of polyethylene sheets with thicknesses from 20 to 70 mm. For more delicate parts, on the other hand, polyethylene sheets up to a maximum of 2 mm are recommended to avoid scratches or damage to the object’s materials themselves.</p><p>Proxital is constantly dedicated to the development of customer-friendly products, always striving for the highest quality and recommending the most suitable product to meet every need.</p>

Sostenibilità

Since 1998 we have made a precise choice: to adopt a production system of sustainable, recyclable, infinitely regenerable plastic. For this reason we use expansion technologies that do not chemically alter the raw materials used. This allows the total regenerability of each single product at the end of each use cycle.

Even the processing scraps of expanded plastics are totally regenerable, bringing the carbon footprint of these products to almost zero.

In this precise context, Proxital offers a personalized service based on the needs of the individual customer and the individual process, always with an eye to sustainability.

  Repubblica talks about REFOAM

  <p>Repubblica talks about the new REFOAM range, a new production technology that makes extensive use of regenerated raw materials, and sets a new standard in terms of resistance and slipperiness of foamed foams. The range also includes the innovative REFOAM 0.5, a worldwide innovation that in just half a millimeter of thickness can offer protection equal to double-thick foam. </p><p>In addition to technical innovation, this translates into economic savings because with the same volume you have twice the length. But also in real sustainability, because it halves the road transport needed to transfer the coils. Refoam is produced with a percentage of recycled material that can reach 100%.</p>

  Il Sole 24 ore talks about Proxital

  <p>The Sole 24 ore magazine talks about Proxital among the companies active in the defense of health and the environment.</p><p>Not all plastics are the same. Since its foundation, Proxital has been producing only sustainable materials, but it is particularly important and urgent to scientifically demonstrate their degree of environmental compatibility and communicate it to the outside world, refuting the mistaken beliefs of the market and the final consumer. </p><p>Thanks to the support and advice of Assindustria, we are working on the creation of a validated model for the calculation of the Carbon Footprint of foamed plastics. Proxitalproduces closed-cell Foam, 100% recyclable and regenerable and is actively contributing to the development of a uniform, functional and valid calculator for the purposes of theISO 14067 standard to quantify CO2 emissions for the production of plastic foams. </p><p>The market needs clarity and certain references, also in the light of the new ESG Sustainability Report requests from various institutional and banking entities. Proxital has recently introduced REFOAM, a new production technology that has affected the entire range for the extensive use of regenerated raw materials.</p>
