Using the recovered granules, Crocco produces new films made of 50% recycled material and 50% virgin material, maintaining high standards of strength and versatility.

Thanks to its innovative food packaging film made from chemically recycled plastic, developed in collaboration with Versalis, the chemical company of the Eni Group.

From May 27 to 30, 2025 at Fiera Milano Rho, Hall 4 - B18.

The Italian leader in flexible packaging contributes to strengthening the circular economy through the use of certified circular polymers created with Exxtend™ technology.

The project actively includes 250 employees.

Renato Zelcher, CEO of Crocco S.p.A. SB. "UniSMART will provide us with access to advanced expertise and innovative solutions, reinforcing our ability to stay 'one step ahead,' as highlighted in our logo, in our sustainability initiatives."

Renato Zelcher, CEO of Crocco: "This welfare programme embodies our vision of a responsible enterprise where the well-being of people is central to corporate decision-making, supported by tangible and, as always at Crocco, measurable actions."

From November 3rd to 6th, Crocco will be present for the first time at the world’s largest packaging and processing trade show, held at McCormick Place in Chicago.

This packaging is now used in several sectors, such as ceramics, premixed products, and insulation materials, showing its versatility across various industries. As of today, the standard percentage has increased to 35% recycled content, reflecting our continuous commitment to sustainability.

Today, a fresh food product can not only guarantee safe packaging but also complete compostability. And in home kitchens, consumers can finally store food or leftovers with a safe film that can be disposed of in the organic waste, helping to do their part in protecting the environment while also reducing food waste.

This corporate transformation means that Crocco is not only an innovation leader in the world of flexible packaging, but also a promoter of positive changes aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of the entire sector.

It is the Italian program dedicated to communicating the results of greenhouse gas emissions quantification and promoting carbon neutrality.

This recognition, granted by the technical-scientific committee of the Compraverde Buygreen Forum, is a testament to the company's ongoing commitment to environmental issues and its transformation into a Benefit Corporation.

Production of the packaging, made from Balance®, a product supplied by Versalis, makes it possible to create a recycled film for food contact.

Renato Zelcher, CEO: 'Our evolution into a Benefit Corporation is not only a response to the needs of the market, but an expression of our desire to be creators of positive change'.

CEO Renato Zelcher: "This technology supports the national benchmark project, Greenside, which neutralizes the CO2 impact of our polyethylene films."

"With Greenside we will be a leading actor of the 'Sustainable Packaging & Production' theme, one of the four pillars on which the most important fair in the sector will be focused".
