Organizzazioni


Mappatura della rete di organizzazioni, istituzioni e altri attori che operano nel settore dell’imballaggio. 

La mappatura include attori coinvolti nella ricerca, nello sviluppo tecnologico, nella regolazione e nella diffusione di pratiche innovative nel campo del packaging. 

La raccolta delle organizzazioni si costruisce progressivamente in relazione ai contenuti presenti nell’Osservatorio, a cui le diverse realtà risultano collegate. In questa prospettiva, la sezione restituisce una mappatura parziale ma significativa dell’ecosistema di soggetti che contribuiscono all’evoluzione del settore dell’imballaggio.

Cozie
Cozie is a French organic and natural cosmetics brand marketed by LOLYBIO SARL. Its portfolio includes facial, body, hair and personal-care products. Within the Packaging System, it operates as a brand owner and packaging user, adopting a model based on reusable, refillable and deposit-return glass containers. Empty bottles and jars are collected, washed and returned to the distribution cycle, reducing packaging-waste generation. The brand also develops bulk-dispensing and refill solutions, integrating cosmetic formulation, distribution, user experience and reverse logistics. Packaging is therefore a central component of Cozie’s environmental value proposition and of the relationship between the company, retailers and consumers.
Cozie è un marchio francese di cosmetici biologici e naturali, commercializzato da LOLYBIO SARL. L’offerta comprende prodotti per la cura del viso, del corpo, dei capelli e per l’igiene personale. Nel Packaging System opera come brand owner e utilizzatore di packaging, adottando un modello basato su contenitori in vetro riutilizzabili, ricaricabili e soggetti a cauzione. I flaconi e i vasetti vuoti vengono recuperati, lavati e reimmessi nel circuito distributivo, riducendo la produzione di rifiuti da imballaggio. Il brand sviluppa inoltre soluzioni per la vendita sfusa e il refill, integrando formulazione cosmetica, distribuzione, esperienza d’uso e logistica inversa. Il packaging costituisce quindi una componente centrale della proposta di valore ambientale e del rapporto tra impresa, retailer e consumatore.

In 2021 Crown divested its European food packaging/tinplate business (giving rise to Eviosys, in which it retained a 20% stake), receiving around $300 million from the final sale of its remaining stake to Sonoco in December 2024, as part of a wider strategy of debt reduction and refocusing on its core beverage can business.

CuanTec

CuanTec is a ground-breaking small company ready to change to world. By looking at how nature uses its own materials, CuanTec scientists have developed a world first chitin-based packaging that not only returns to the earth after use, but can also extend the shelf life of food wrapped within it.

We understand that value can be found in waste.  We actually prefer to use the term “by-products” – what is waste to one industry can be the starting point for another. 

We use by-products from the food industry (specifically the inedible parts of shellfish) to create new packaging materials.

DabbaDrop

DabbaDrop, London’s first plastic-free, waste-free and emissions-free takeaway. It’s meat-free, too.

“I’d come home worn out on a Friday — takeaway night — and I wanted something vegetarian,” Ahuja recalls. “There wasn’t very much choice and then whatever there was arrived in plastic containers, delivered on a noisy scooter that woke up the kids. I was like, ‘There must be a better way.’”

Inspired by Mumbai’s dabbawalas, the bicycle lunch delivery system that’s fed the city for 130 years, Ahuja decided to cook her family’s recipes from across southern Asia, pack them in reusable metal tiffins and deliver them by bike to those nearby in Hackney. “I thought, I’ll text a few friends in the neighbourhood. I just said, ‘This is my idea, who’s in?’” A handful were; she cooked for six that week, 10 the next and 25 the week after that. Now, about 18 months later, DabbaDrop feeds 300 weekly across Hackney, Leyton and Walthamstow, though it’s set for a rapid expansion from tomorrow as the Friday-night deliveries expand to include Thursdays and Saturdays, and move into Islington and Tower Hamlets.

Just like the crops in the fields continuously change, Danish Crown tirelessly refine and improve how we work, from farm to fork, to ensure good, safe food for people around the world to enjoy.

As a global leader in sustainable meat production, we have big obligations; not just to deliver, but to explore new opportunities. We still have a long way to go and face many challenges. But we remain committed to improving how food is produced - with respect for animals, people and the environment. In this quest, we are prepared to challenge ourselves, the industry and the market. This journey is not ours alone, but we promise to be the leaders of change. Only together can we reach our goal of a more sustainable food production by fundamentally changing the ways in which we both produce and consume food. You will become a part of a strong culture with roots in the Danish co-operative movement, and at all levels of the organization, you will be met by an informal and direct tone.
