Irplast S.p.A.

Irplast is an established producer of biaxially oriented polypropylene films (BOPP), some of which are converted internally for roll-fed wrap-around labels (for the food, beverage, dairy, personal & home care markets), for printed adhesive tapes and multipack solutions. In 2020, the Company became the first in Europe to produce on a largescale bio-based films from certified renewable feedstocks (NOPP – Natural Oriented PolyPropylene). Irplast has also started production of PCW-based polypropylene films (LOOPP) by partially replacing fossil-fuel based resins with feedstocks from chemical recycling using the “mass balance” principle. Produced in collaboration with SABIC®, in an ISCC PLUS certified supply chain (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification), NOPP films have been certified as carbon neutral.

The Company has developed a unique know-how in the design and production of innovative and customized BOPP films. First in Europe to engineer and install a simultaneous stretching Bruckner-LISIM line for the production of BOPP films for flexible packaging, nowadays Irplast delivers on very serious commitments to innovation and sustainability, by focusing on:

Developing eco-friendly products by using bio-based polymers and post-industrial recycled materialReducing packaging weight and thicknessReducing CO2 emissions by developing packaging solutions designed to use less raw materialsEnergy co-generation and production waste management to reduce the GHG emissions of both production and products.
