Quality with responsibility

Casa Basiliotti has always strived to pay the utmost attention to the needs and demands of both its clients and its employees.
This care and attention also extends to civil society as a whole, and the planet itself.
The company is committed to the vigorous defence of the environment and the ongoing struggle against corruption.
In concrete terms, this means being in accordance with the UNI ISO 26000 standard, and in strict compliance with the legislative provisions
that have gradually been established over time, as well as complying with the universal principles of human rights and international labour standards.

I'm Green

There are birches that at night rise up their roots
and you never would believe that at night
the trees walk or become dreams.

(Alda Merini)

Respect for the environment

The Basiliotti Eco Bag Company is constantly engaged in the search for production solutions with limited environmental impact. Our environmental policy is focused on CO2 emission control, waste disposal and recycling, raw materials procurement, water use, energy saving and the elimination of hazardous chemicals from production processes. For over 10 years, we have been using biodegradable and compostable materials to manufacture our products, and we have recently introduced the world’s first green polymer obtained from renewable sources such as sugar cane.____ our expertise

GREEN PE

Sustainable Development

The latest generation of green polymer, Braskem is produced in Brazil and obtained from renewable raw materials such as sugar cane. Together with biocompostable plastics, Braskem is an integral element of our green solution. Smooth to the touch, transparent and odourless, it is able to guarantee the same technical, aesthetic and economic characteristics as LDPE, without CO2 emissions. Its use is an ethical commitment to sustainable development, entailing the formulation of new processes and products in order to avoid depleting the earth’s natural resources at the expense of future generations. Brazil is a unique context for these new developments in green chemistry: sugar cane, which produces the ethanol used in manufacturing Braskem, accounts for just 1.5% of the country’s arable land. At the end of each production run Casa Basiliotti provides clients with a certificate attesting the precise savings in CO2 emissions.

An environmentally friendly choice

Bioplastics are polymers of vegetable origin, made from renewable raw materials such as corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, algae, vegetable oils and so on, not from petroleum derivatives. Their environmental impact is very low, thanks to the reduction of the amount of CO2 emitted in the production process. Moreover, being biodegradable and compostable, disposal is simpler. Bioplastics are naturally white in colour, breathable, completely odourless, velvety to the touch, and have impressive tensile strength properties. Our bioplastics are supplied with all the technical certifications required by current regulations, including UNI EN 13432.

Promoting
recycling

People are becoming increasingly aware of the problem of our planet’s ever-decreasing resources, and recycling is one of the best ways to face this dilemma. PET is a polymer resin made from recycled plastic bottles. The non-biodegradable polymeric components of plastic bottles are processed and recycled to create new products. PET is environmentally friendly, and processed without using or producing nitrogen, nickel, PVC, formaldehyde, or heavy metals.
It is ideal for dye-sublimation printing, screen-printing and embroidery.

POLYETHILENE

Resistance and elasticity

Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer of fossil origin. It is the simplest of all commercial polymers, and is the most common plastic. Polyethylene boasts outstanding insulating properties and excellent chemical stability. It is also a very versatile material, and one of the most economical plastics. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) are commonly recycled. Despite competition from more recent polymers, polyethylene continues to be an important plastic material thanks to its excellent transparency, strength and elasticity properties.

Il polietilene ad alta densità presenta scarse ramificazioni, ha quindi forze intermolecolari elevate e maggiore rigidezza rispetto al polietilene a bassa densità. L’HDPE possiede inoltre una più alta forza specifica ed è anche più duro e più opaco del LDPE. Viene comunemente riciclato. Nonostante la concorrenza di polimeri più recenti, l’HDPE continua ad essere un’importante materia plastica grazie alle ottime proprietà di trasparenza, resistenza ed elasticità.

Corporate Social Responsibility

They die slowly, those who do not overturn the tables,
who are unhappy at work, who do not risk
certainty for uncertainty, to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice
at least once in their lives.
