The first range of stracchino cheeses in compostable packaging

Traditional goodness in a new environmentally friendly pack.

Nature loves them too!

Now Nonno Nanni Stracchino 100 g, Stracchino with Yogurt live lactic culture 100 g, Stracchino with Probiotic culture 100 g and Fior di Stracchino have 100% biodegradable and compostable packaging.

 

All the packaging materials have been designed to maintain the product’s organoleptic properties, to preserve its goodness and unmistakeable creaminess.

 

Quality

The materials have been designed to maintain the goodness and unmistakeable creaminess of the product.

Disposal

Once the product is finished, simply throw the containers in the biowaste bin, as directed by local municipality rules.

Materials

Both the outer packaging and inner tray are made of 100% biodegradable and compostable material.

Rebirth

When the material is processed in a composting plant, it turns into compost to fertilise soil.

What does compostable mean?

When a compostable material is thrown in the biowaste bin and goes through an industrial composting process, within 3 months it becomes compost that can be used to fertilise soil. Compostability means “the ability of a material to turn into compost via the composting process”. The resulting material (which takes its name from compost) can be used as fertiliser.

compost

A material must comply with strict environmental protection regulations in order to be defined compostable and therefore be turned into soil fertiliser.

In particular, specific tests must be carried out in certified laboratories as set out in the European UNI EN 13432 compostability standard, which foresee*:

icona caratteristiche chimiche 1
DETERMINATION OF CHEMICAL FEATURES

Material characteristics are defined by component materials, possible presence of harmful substances and quantity of components (e.g. organic carbon) essential for subsequent phases of biodegrading and disintegration.

icona biodegradabilità 1
BIODEGRADABILITY TEST

Establishes material’s capacity to be converted into water and carbon dioxide.

icona disintegrabilità 1
DISINTEGRATABILITY TEST

Establishes material’s actual capacity to break down into tiny pieces, smaller than 2mm, in composting phase.

icona ecotossicità 1
ECOTOXICITY TEST (APPENDIX A.4)

Verifies capacity of compost obtained with tested material to germinate seeds of various plant species: onion, corn, rapeseed, cucumber and others according to OECD guideline 208. In addition, barley must also be considered according to UNI EN 13432 standard. (*As in appendices A.1, A.2, A.3, A.4).

Nonno Nanni doing his bit for the environment

With the introduction of the new packs, we are the first stracchino makers to produce a pack created with 100% biodegradable and compostable material.

Years of research and constant effort have led to our environmental choice, another addition to our many existing sustainability initiatives.

DIN CERTCO certification

The new packs are compostable in compliance with standard UNI EN 13432:2002. DIN CERTCO-certified packaging must be recycled in the biowaste collection.

Packaging must then be sent to composting plants as directed by local municipality instructions.

The flowpack and tray are both certified COMPOSTABLE.

The materials used for the flowpack and tray are entirely made of agricultural by-products and other renewable resources.
