Packtin is a spin-off of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia that was created after years of research on edible packaging. The products we offer are biodegradable and edible films and coatings that improve the preservation of fresh food, reducing waste and the use of plastic packaging and increasing food safety.

The aim of the company is the development, production and marketing of innovative products and services with high technological content, for the treatment and exploitation of waste sludge and industrial or civil solid-liquid suspensions, agribusiness waste and by-products, with the aim of reducing the quantities consigned for disposal, as well as obtaining new products like biodegradable plastics (PHAs or polyhydroxyalkanoates) and other renewable chemical products.

An R&D company focused on the steady transition from an economy based on the exploitation of non-renewable raw materials to one based on sustainable processes and products.
