PACKIOLI
Envase de jabón de hoja de alcachofa y vaina de guisante
En respuesta al problema de los envases de plástico, PACKIOLI es un envase de jabón resistente al agua que utiliza bioplásticos de hojas de alcachofa y vainas de guisantes, 100% biodegradables y de origen local. PACKIOLI pretende que el envase de residuo cero compita con los envases de plástico existentes en el mercado con sus bordes sellados, al tiempo que satisface las necesidades de higiene, logística y resistencia de las marcas de jabón y también la compatibilidad con métodos de producción como el sellado por calor. Al utilizar la hoja de alcachofa, se aborda el enorme desperdicio de alcachofa, el 80% de cada alcachofa que se tira, especialmente en el oeste de Turquía.
