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.

  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.

  Conai’s classification of plastic packaging

  <p>Conai’s classification of plastic packaging has changed, with effect from 1 January 2022. Proxital, after months of direct commitment to this goal and thanks to the collaboration with Dr. Marina Spiazzi of Assindustria Venetocentro, with Prof. Michele Modesti of the University of Padua and with the Federazione Gomma Plastica, is pleased to announce an important change in the classification of packaging.Starting from 2022, 5 bands will be adopted for the classification of plastic packaging, which will take into account the overall degree of eco-sustainability of the same.Proxital PE foam products with a thickness of up to 2 mm. will move from band B2 to band A2, therefore with an annual contribution of € 150.00/t.Proxital PE foam products with a thickness greater than 2 mm. will go from band C to band B2, therefore with an annual contribution of € 520,00/t.The reasons for the reductions derive from the positive trend of materials sent for recycling and optimization actions.Proxital’s research and development division is constantly working to propose further productive evolutions in the perspective of eco-sustainability.

  Changing terms of obligations

  <p>With the new Law Decree n. 228 of 12/30/2021 change the terms of the obligation of Environmental Labeling of packaging.This D.L. to art. 11 provides for the suspension of the obligation until 30 June 2022 and also allows the marketing of products without the new requirements already placed on the market or already labeled, postponing the exhaustion of stocks of non-compliant packaging to 1 July 2022.</p><p>By 30/01/2022 the Ministry of Ecological Transition will publish the technical guidelines for labeling and following these, any adjustments will be made.</p><p>PROXITAL has already fulfilled its obligations as a manufacturer, labeling all packaging with the wording required by law. To help our customers we have created the LABELING section on our website, where you can easily find answers, tables and indications to transfer the correct information on the nature of the material to your recipients, by affixing physical labels or other digital systems, such as qrcode, apps, websites.</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>

  10 grams of sustainable lightness: Refoam 0.5.

  <p>For Proxital, being green is much more than a declaration of intent: it is one of the pillars that gave life to the company, pursuing sustainability as a modus operandi of the entire production.</p><p>Today Proxital presents a unique innovation in the world, the Refoam 0.5, an innovative foam material that can offer a square meter of protection using only 10 grams of plastic.</p><p>The performances in terms of resistance and slipperiness are equal to those of foam with double thickness, but thanks to Refoam 0,5 the coils have a double length with the same volume. This means a reduction in road traffic and the use of resources, while at the same time guaranteeing important economic savings for the packaging of goods. Refoam® is made from up to 100% recycled material.</p>
