A strong commitment to the environment

Zalkin is actively involved with its customers in the fight against plastic pollution. Long before the entry into force of the EU’s Single-Use Plastics Directive, Zalkin has invested in technologies that enable optimal capping of new joint caps for the beverage industry. This co-development with capsule manufacturers and leading brands in the market, such as the Alma Sources Group for still and sparkling water, demonstrates Zalkin’s continued commitment to sustainable innovation.

Since 2021, Zalkin has extended its environmental commitment with a program of "reconditioned machines", allowing customers to reduce their carbon footprint while optimizing their investments. This initiative is part of a global approach to promote the circular economy and reduce the environmental impact of the packaging industry.

Zalkin launches its OPTI.Pure range, a leader in microparticle management

The widespread presence of plastic microparticles in our ecosystem generates major ecological disturbances, contaminates the food chain, threatens biodiversity and affects human health. Faced with this issue that concerns industry players, legislators and consumers, Zalkin presents its latest innovation: the OPTI.Pure range, dedicated to particle processing.

Zalkin offers a range of innovative solutions to meet the challenges related to the presence of plastic microparticles in production lines.
