At Campofresco, we believe in conservation through utilization of modern technologies that promote practical use of resources and materials, recycling of such materials and energy conservation. Aware of the challenges mankind faces with natural resources and fossil fuels depletion, deforestation, global warming, and continued population growth among other problems, we at Campofresco have committed to identify and employ ‘greener’ technologies that cause little or no impact to the environment and allow for a gradual renewal of the Earth’s resources. Evidence of this commitment is Campofresco’s inclination towards using recyclable materials such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and aluminum.
PET is a 100% recyclable thermoplastic polymer resin used in numerous applications from beverage packing to synthetic fiber products manufacturing. Because of its carbon, hydrogen and oxygen composition with only trace amounts of sulphur-free catalyst elements and its energy content equivalent to that of soft coal, PET is excellent for thermal recycling. Naturally colorless and of high transparency, PET-made bottles are extremely lightweight, strong, impact-resistant and relatively easy to sort, collect, clean and reprocess, making them one of the most economically-viable recyclable products.
Aluminum is one of the most abundant metallic elements on Earth's crust, and as a packing material it offers numerous advantages: its resistance to corrosion preserves freshness and provides extended shelf life, its light weight makes it easy and cost-effective to transport and handle, and its 100% recyclable properties make it an excellent eco-friendly material. |

Campofresco has also developed proprietary technologies such as its patented Alipak technology (U.S. patent #5804240) developed by one of the company’s original founders and current Vice-President of Technology Research and Development. This innovative technology utilizes a special co-extruded film as packing material, resulting in a compact, flexible enclosure in the form of a pouch that produces the lowest production and post-consumption waste of any package in the market. Thanks to the unique properties of its specially developed film, Alipak provides an unprecedented six-month shelf life for 100% juice products without the use of preservatives or the need of refrigeration, thus requiring practically no energy consumption to store and preserve. Another major advantage of this innovative technology is the reduction of physical space required for its implementation since all the steps involved in the production of Alipak products are carried out by a single piece of equipment that forms, fills, labels and seals the film pouch.
Under its G.R.O.W. (Global Renewal Opportunity Watch) initiative, Campofresco further commits to the environment, staying on the lookout for technological breakthroughs that will provide an opportunity to develop or acquire newer technologies that will result in enhanced productivity with the least possible impact to the environment. Our Technology Research and Development Department is on a continuing mission to identify, evaluate and employ such technologies as they become available in order to contribute to a brighter, greener future. |
