Sustainability, safety and reliability: now a day, food packaging must respond to all these needs at the same time. It’s no longer enough to choose a functional container. Companies operating in the food sector are looking for solutions that respect the environment, are safe for the consumer and guaranteed by concrete certifications.

GoPack meets these expectations with a complete range of eco-sustainable packaging, made with carefully selected materials and produced according to the international standards.

Eco-sustainable materials: technical quality and low environmental impact

Each material chosen by GoPack was created to combine technical performance and environmental responsibility. It’s not just a matter of offering an alternative to traditional plastics, but of proposing practical and lasting solutions that are also compatible with the demands of an increasingly green-oriented market.

Here are some of the raw materials used:

  • Recycled plastic (R-PET, R-PP): maintains the technical characteristics of virgin plastic while reducing environmental impact.
  • Bioplastics and PLA: obtained from renewable sources such as corn, ideal for cold packaging and industrially compostable.
  • Compostable cardboard and cellulose: from responsibly managed forests (FSC®), perfect for take away disposable containers.
  • Vegetable fibres: used for biodegradable lines with a natural design.

All GoPack materials are suitable for food contact, resistant to heat or humidity depending on their intended use, and designed to best support the needs of modern catering, from delivery to large-scale distribution.

Certifications that make the difference

There aren’t sustainable choices without control. This is why GoPack has been investing for over 20 years in quality certifications that guarantee the compliance of each product with national and international regulations. Certifications are not just formal tools, but real documented commitments that offer transparency to the customer.

The main certifications:

  • ISO 9001 – Quality management system certification: guarantees continuous process improvement and customer satisfaction.
  • HACCP / Reg. CE 852/2004 – All processes are managed according to food safety criteria recognized at european level.
  • FDA Compliance – Essential for trading in non-EU markets such as the United States.
  • EN 13432 – European standard that certify the industrial compostability of biodegradable materials.

Each product is accompanied by a technical data sheetdeclaration of conformity and batch traceability, making GoPack a reliable partner also for public tenders, canteens, healthcare supplies and large-scale retail trade.

Sustainable packaging as a competitive value

The choice of a certified and ecological packaging is no longer just a question of environmental awareness. It’s an element that strengthens the positioning of a company, builds trust in the customer and increases the perceived value of the product.

Those who choose GoPack are not simply purchasing containers, but are investing in their image, regulatory compliance and consistency with market expectations. A choice that today makes the difference between being present or relevant.
