Sara Pigozzi, P.E.T. Engineering Product Manager will take part in the ALPSTAR - Towards Carbon Neutral Alps project workshop on the 23rd of May at Padua Confindustria taking with her evidence on the need for industries to adopt best practices to reduce the environmental impact of product and service life cycles.

12 pilot regions over the Alpine mountain range are taking part in this European project co-ordinated by the Slovenian Environment Department and P.E.T Engineering has been selected to represent Veneto region together with another six companies.

Always attentive to environmentally sustainable development in its own products, as the various awards won in the context of ECO-design show including a Packaging Oscar and an award plaque for the Sustainable Development Award 2013, this San Vendemiano company has taken up the initiative with great enthusiasm proposing an internationally recognised methodology in the context of Life Cycle Assessment to quantify the environmental impact of products, services and organisations; the Polaris project.

Polaris is an upgrade system which enables dated blow mould machines to be upgraded using a modular system bringing them into line with new generation high performance machines in terms of energy and PET for container blow moulding saving.

From a preliminary analysis carried out by Ecoinnovazione SRL, a spin-off of Enea, an Italian new technologies, energy and sustainable economic development agency, two of the machines in which Polaris was installed showed significant reductions in energy consumption linked to the furnaces, the heating up of the preforms and pneumatic consumption for blow moulding.

"In an Italy whose crisis is as yet unresolved", said Edo Ronchi, President of the Fondazione per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile (Sustainable Development Foundation), "the need for a new long lasting and sustainable development project, a veritable green new deal which can bring our country out of its crisis, is more urgent than ever". For P.E.T. Engineering Edo Ronchi's words confirm that the company has identified environmental sustainability as one of the best drivers for its growth.
