Part of the Finnish-based Wihuri group and located in the district of Montgomeryshire, the flexible packaging converter has invested more than £5 million ($6.7m) in equipment to enhance its capabilities and “boost sustainable product offerings”.

“This significant investment will enable us to produce flexible packaging solutions with a considerably lower carbon footprint, which will not only contribute to the wider company’s target of becoming net zero by 2025, but aligns with many of our customers’ sustainability ambitions too,” explained managing director Andrew Newbold.

Radoszewski also issued the following statement about a plan from non-governmental organisations to ban plastics materials and products, as well as to halt investment in new manufacturing facilities, among other efforts to eliminate the important US industry: “While we’re focused on working together toward bipartisan solutions, activists are determined to destroy an American industry that employs more than one million workers in the US.

The new packaging will support the sustainability objectives of the Alessandria rice mill which aim to reduce the use of plastic packaging while maintaining all the technical requirements relating to product conservation and durability. Vignola's commitment in this sense also materialized with the purchase of a new filling and sealing machine suitable for paper bags.

Vladislav Mamchych, Technical Director at RETAL Ukraine, says, “Our strong performance was noted for careful use of resources, such as using modern equipment, energy regeneration, and responsible use of water, reducing carbon footprint by implementing ISO 14064 to prove operate efficiently regarding CO2 emissions, and our reduced consumption of raw materials to promote light-weighting and recycling. This award is a great recognition of our team's hard work, motivation and expertise.”

During Greennovation exclusive solutions will be presented, in which the "green" technologies of the latest generation will prove the best optimization of productivity in compliance with eco-sustainability issues, with consequent saving in terms of energy resources and packaging material.
