SUSTAINABILITY
Environmentally friendly packaging
Not a trend to follow, but a commitment that we at Eurovetrocap passionately pursue by developing new forms of packaging that reduce, reuse and recycle more effectively to reduce environmental impact.
From here, in 2020, Zero In•Pack was born, an in-house laboratory for the development of packaging designed for recycling (up to 100% recyclable), recycled, refillable or lightened. We take advantage of the 4.0 philosophy by investing in machinery that allows us to renew processes, increase safety and reduce our environmental footprint.
OUR HISTORY
Innovation & environmental care since 1940
The Cattaneo brothers founded the Cattaneo glassworks
Our story begins in the 1940s when siblings Annibale, Paolo and Carla Cattaneo founded Vetreria Cattaneo in Milan’s central Via Gian Giacomo Mora. The production of mechanical hollow glass containers for the Italian market led them to develop the first semi-automatic and automatic production machines, which they later sold to other glassworks around the world.
