Envirochemie : Calculating the carbon footprint
Envirochemie can provide companies with an individual CO2 balance
sheet for their water processing plants, in which experts determine the
carbon footprint of their industrial water and wastewater management
systems. The first step is to work with the customer to select the plant
components or processes to be examined. Next, the data is researched
and analysed, before being used as the basis for compiling the individual
carbon footprint. The experts then determine the potential for
optimization and present it to the customer.
Benefits of CO2 accounting:
» Evaluation of technological alternatives, such as water reuse or
recycling, that also reduce the water footprint
» Highlighting of alternatives for sludge disposal
» Identification of options for reducing operating costs
A large-scale dairy succeeded in relieving the pressure on its existing aerobic
wastewater treatment plant with a Biomar anaerobic reactor from Enviro-
chemie. This reduces the energy needed for ventilation units by 30%.
Partial flows with high organic loads are also treated in the anaerobic
reactor. The biogas created enables 30% savings in fossil fuels and disposal
costs. All in all, the carbon footprint is reduced significantly.

ILPRA’s product management team
dedicated to FS & FFS technologies
is working towards achieving a dual
sustainability, capable of referring
both to the materials used and to
the work cycle of the technologies
applied, in a holistic approach. This
means considering the plant as a single
unit whose result is more than
the sum of individual parts; thinking
holistically therefore means conceiving
a machine as a whole, avoiding
overlapping of functions and maximizing
the integration between the
parts. This is why ILPRA is able to
design and supply fully automated
packaging solutions, starting from
the hopper to palletizing.
Thanks to ILPRA every dairy can have
access to a customized package, thermoformed
by compostable or recyclable
packaging material, no matter
if PLA, PP or rPET. This supports the
European 2025 objectives connected
to carbon footprint reduction of the
environmental impact of packaging.
By the renewed and updated range
of ILPRA lines, it is finally possible to
dream about a unique monomaterial
thermoformed rigid container decorated
with latest labelling technologies
and highly customized, allowing
customers to fully embrace the
principles of the circular economy
and in the same time be immediately
recognised in food shops as a game
changer compared to standard rigid
container shapes available in the
market.
The ILPRA range dedicated to filling
machines for preformed packages
allows sustainable packaging, proposing
itself as the optimal solution
for easily carrying out sanitizing,
unstacking and lidding operations,
even for special materials such as
glass, ceramic or cellulose-based containers.
Thanks to the constant collaboration
with the main stakeholders
in the field of primary packaging,
ILPRA is a reliable hub for achieving
the ideal creation of the container,
scrupulously studied by the ILPRA
Product Management team so that
the entire package respects the parameters
required by the new regulations.
ILPRA SpA, is a 100% Italian company
operating since 1955 in the packaging
business, listed on the Italian
Stock Exchange, generating more
than € 30 million turnover.
