Our environmental policy is based on clear principles and measurable goals, ensuring that sustainability becomes a daily practice across all operations.
Compliance with environmental laws is considered a starting point, not a final target. We continuously improve our performance through the responsible use of energy, water, and raw materials.

We involve our employees, suppliers, and customers in our environmental journey, promoting awareness and shared responsibility across the entire value chain.

Our long-term goals reflect our ambition:
By 2030, we aim to reduce our overall environmental impact by 30% and lower energy consumption per production unit by 25%.
By 2027, all our production sites will use 100% renewable energy, and by 2035, our entire portfolio will consist of sustainable products.
Finally, we are working toward a Zero Waste to Landfill target by 2028, ensuring that every material is reused, recycled, or recovered.

To translate our environmental mission into measurable achievements, we have launched a series of green initiatives:

• Zero Waste Project: aims to completely eliminate waste sent to landfill through reduction, reuse, and recycling.
• Clean Energy Project: involves installing solar panels on our facilities to self-generate renewable power.
• Circular Packaging Project: develops fully recyclable packaging solutions in partnership with customers and suppliers.
• Green Supply Chain Project: engages our suppliers in improving environmental performance throughout the supply chain.
• Eco-Design Project: integrates sustainability principles into the design of new films, considering every stage of the product life cycle.

Each initiative contributes to building a smarter, cleaner, and more circular industrial ecosystem.

ALVABIOCIRCULAR FILM offers all the advantages of traditional polypropylene film — superior anti-fog performance to preserve freshness and shelf life, excellent sealability, high transparency and gloss, and perfect printability for premium packaging presentation.

What makes it unique is its origin: this film is produced from second-generation renewable raw materials, derived from non-fossil sources such as waste and residues from the refining of non-industrial vegetable oils and used cooking oil (UCO) collected from food industries and restaurants.

ALVABIOCIRCULAR FILM is a tangible example of circular economy in action — combining technical excellence, environmental responsibility, and certified sustainability.

ALVA RPP PYROLYSIS is the outcome of our advanced research in chemical recycling technologies.
Through the pyrolysis process, post-consumer plastic waste is thermally decomposed in the absence of oxygen and converted into valuable hydrocarbons.
These are then purified and transformed into high-quality polymers suitable for new film production.

The resulting film contains up to 30% of raw material derived from recycled plastic and delivers identical performance to virgin polypropylene in terms of clarity, sealability, and durability.

This solution helps close the plastic loop, reduces landfill and incineration waste, and lowers CO₂ emissions by up to 50% compared to traditional processes — all while maintaining uncompromised quality.
Certified ISCC PLUS, it represents a concrete step towards a truly circular plastic economy.

The science behind chemical recycling

Pyrolysis (also known as pyrocracking) is a thermochemical decomposition process carried out by applying heat in the complete absence of oxygen.
When a material is heated in the presence of oxygen, it undergoes combustion, producing heat and oxidized gases.
In contrast, under oxygen-free (anoxic) conditions, the same heating process breaks down the original chemical bonds, forming simpler molecules.

The heat supplied in pyrolysis is used to split molecular chains, in a reaction known as thermally induced homolysis.
On an industrial scale, pyrolysis is applied in processes such as cracking and waste thermal treatment.
Operating at temperatures between 400 and 800 °C, the process converts solid materials into liquid (pyrolysis oil or tar) and/or gaseous products (syngas), which can be used as fuels or chemical feedstocks for further transformation.

A solid carbonaceous residue is also produced, which can be refined into materials such as activated carbon.
The proportions of gaseous, liquid, and solid outputs depend on the type of pyrolysis (fast, slow, or conventional) and on the reaction parameters.

Unlike a gasifier, which operates with limited oxygen and partially oxidizes the material, a pyrolyzer functions in a fully anoxic environment—often using an inert hot gas flow such as nitrogen—to achieve true pyrolysis.
