Eni SpA’s (E – Free Report) chemical subsidiary, Versalis, teamed up with Crocco, a leading flexible packaging company, to produce innovative food packaging film. This collaboration is aimed at creating packaging materials from Balance, a Versalis product, including raw materials derived from the recycling of post-consumer plastics. This initiative is targeted toward large-scale retail markets, promoting mass production of sustainable food packaging.
The new packaging, which would be designed for food contact, is expected to maintain the essential technical performance and health properties, thanks to the use of chemically recycled materials. This method aligns with Versalis’ commitment to circular economy principles, offering a significant reduction in the reliance on virgin resources. Chemical recycling regenerates plastics to a near-virgin state, ensuring they meet the stringent purity and safety standards required for food-related applications.
Adriano Alfani, CEO of Versalis, stressed the significance of circularity within the company’s strategy. He highlighted Versalis’ commitment to advancing technologies in mechanical and chemical polymer recycling. Alfani noted that diversifying raw materials enables Versalis to provide low-carbon solutions, fostering sustainable resource utilization. He also credited collaborations like the one with Crocco for driving innovation in this field.
Renato Zelcher, CEO of Crocco, echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the significance of the innovation. He noted that this new technology marks a crucial step toward expanding the circular economy within the highly regulated food industry. Zelcher expressed pride in initiating this Made in Italy supply-chain partnership with Versalis.
This collaboration represents a significant step toward sustainable packaging solutions. By integrating chemical recycling into their production processes, Versalis and Crocco are setting a new standard for resource efficiency and sustainability in the food packaging sector.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.08% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through May 6, 2024. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.
