E-GLOSS Technology – What is it? A new process of surface finishing treatment to manufacture products in recycled cardboard. A sustainable alternative to the traditional surface finishing treatments, responding to European and Italian regulations to reduce packaging waste.
E-GLOSS isa: Innovantive Mono-material Recyclable Toxic-free substances
Sustainable Reduced consumption of raw materials, water, energy Low emissions into the air – water - soil Disposal in paper recycling

Why E-GLOSS E-GLOSS was born following a strong will to develop finished products respecting the environment. Eco-design Integrate the product’s functional properties with the energetic and environmental aspects. The products and cardboard packaging can only be recycled if the presence of other materials (plastics, metals, etc..) do not exceed 1% of the total.
Packaging with low environmental impact For E-GLOSS production, plastic films or solvents are not used, so it is totally recyclable. E-GLOSS takes up to: 100 times less energy for the finishing of printed paper. 50% less raw materials And 500 times less water consumption compared to the plastic coating process. Emissions to air, water and soil are minimal and the impact in terms of Global Warming Potential calculated in kg CO2 eq, is reduced by 35 times compared to the plastic carton. E-GLOSS is functional, sustainable, profitable
