We are certified by the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) for our responsible management of aluminium. We are among the few companies in our business to demonstrate sustainable stewardship of this material. This certification is an important milestone for IPI since it represents a further step towards 100% sustainable packaging.
The ASI - Aluminium Performance Standard certification guarantees our commitment in carrying out a series of actions aimed at of minimising the environmental impact in the aluminium supply chain, thus also reducing the resulting CO2 emissions by the exploitation of the material itself.
Elaborate product Life Cycle Assessment analysis, whose results enable IPI to understand how the use of aluminium affects the environment;
Continue to engage in adopting clear sustainability objectives in the process of designing and developing new products;
Pursues a continuous improvement in waste reduction in the process of packaging material production in general and aluminium in particular;
Continue to implement strategies to encourage the recycling of packaging at the end of its life;
Continue to innovate to make the aluminium layer of the packages as thin as possible, while investigating more sustainable alternative barrier materials.
The aseptic carton packaging is multilayer and mainly made of paperboard. The other materials used are polyethylene - which protects the contents from external humidity - and a very thin layer of aluminium, which acts as a barrier for the product against external agents such as bacteria, odors, oxygen and light, preventing oxidation and light damage, while preserving the organoleptic properties of the liquid at room temperature, without the need for refrigeration.
The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative is a not-for-profit standard setting and certification organisation for the aluminium value chain. The ASI Performance Standard defines different environmental, social and governance principles and criteria, with the aim to address sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain and to support responsible supply chains.
