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.

Packaging Products

The expanded polyethylene films produced by Proxital are widely used in the packaging sector because they are able to combine the scratch-resistant characteristics of flexible plastic films with protection against crushing and impact thanks to the micro-bubbles of air that compress, absorbing the energy generated by the impact as they are distributed in a concentrated and uniform manner over the entire height. 

Particularly in industrial mass production where objects produced are stacked, laid or placed close together in containers, foam is absolutely the most suitable product as a separator due to its unique characteristics. Scratch protection is guaranteed even with minimum thicknesses while, with regard to impact, the choice of thickness is a function of the mechanical stress the film exerts. The greater the impact force against the object, the greater the film thickness must therefore be.

Proxital, when the company is smart and runs fast!

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.

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.

Always winking at safety, state-of-the-art scooters with maximum safety braking system were chosen and cruising speed was restricted.

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.
