Biorepack sponsors 26th CinemAmbiente Festival

Turin, 08 JUNE 2023 - Helping people experience the intense emotions that only the greatest spectacles on Earth can arouse, documenting the degradation caused to ecosystems by senseless development, encouraging civic commitment capable of spreading best practices to help the planet. Few things are more suited to these aims than art. And of all the arts, few are as evocative and engrossing as cinema. This is why BIOREPACK, the Italian national consortium for the organic recycling of biodegradable and compostable plastic packaging, has once again decided to sponsor the CinemAmbiente Environmental Film Festival in Turin, now in its 26^th edition, taking place from 5 to 11 June.

“Cinema is a great ally that reminds us that our future depends on the health of the Earth,” explained Marco Versari, president of BIOREPACK. “We believe it is important to support an initiative like the CinemAmbiente Environmental Film Festival, which plays a key role in promoting the protection of natural resources, a goal that also inspires our own work."

Established in 2020, BIOREPACK is the first supply chain consortium within the CONAI system dedicated to the separate collection and organic recycling of compostable bioplastic packaging together with organic waste. This approach arose from the circular bioeconomy as well as an initiative whose value is twofold: food waste represents 40% of all domestic waste produced every day. In addition, recovering organic waste through anaerobic digestion and composting makes it possible to reduce atmospheric CO₂ emissions. This helps to reduce greenhouse gases, while also capturing carbon in the soil, which is of strategic importance in balancing the ecosystem and combatting phenomena such as reduced soil fertility, desertification and erosion.

In this context, certified compostable bioplastic packaging is a fundamental tool to enhance the value of food waste. It enables the efficient and hygienic collection of food waste using carrier bags and fruit and vegetable bags. What’s more, its use in food packaging (as food film, tableware, nets, trays and beverage capsules) makes it possible to limit the amount of unsorted waste produced, since compostable bioplastics can be recycled together with food waste (without having to separate contents and containers), instead of being sent for incineration, or worse still, to landfill.
