These data are associated with the use of single-use plastic materials in a high percentage. In addition, in the summer, the ice variants that are coated in the 100% of the cases also appear, the consumption experience includes sucking said plastic materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">the idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposal involves two changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Replace plastic wraps in the manufacturing process with silicone and\/or glass molds, washable and recyclable at the end of the season<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Adapt the refrigerators in stores and shopping centers, so that they can store molds in a modular structure that allows each ice cream to be extracted individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">how<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u2022 The ice creams, after their manufacturing process, will be inserted into the silicone or glass molds, keeping the wooden rods that allow it to be held. The gel versions that were sold protected in plastic so that they could be consumed, will come covered from now on in recycled cardboard. So they will be transported from the assembly line to the store.<\/li><li>\u2022 In the store they will be stored in modular refrigerators. These refrigerators will have an external bowl with hot water at a constant temperature.<\/li><li>\u2022 When the customer chooses their favorite ice cream, it will be taken out of the refrigerator with its mold individually and inserted into the bowl for a few seconds alone, until the ice cream can be extracted by pulling the wooden stick.<\/li><li>The molds will be returned to the manufacturer regularly to be washed and reused with new ice cream.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits are multiple for all parties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Reduction of plastic waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Cost reduction for the manufacturer, since the molds can be used for more than one season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Better organization in the stores&#039; refrigerators, which makes the search time for each unit more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Better health for users, who stop sucking plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Innovation aligned with the circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Visibility of the brand abroad.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":6697,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[144,179,183,1],"tags":[235,234,236,233,237,222,196],"class_list":["post-7297","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economia-circular","category-economia-cirular","category-empresa","category-general","tag-deduccio","tag-embolcalls","tag-fabrica","tag-gelats","tag-motlles","tag-plastics","tag-reciclatge"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecoindustria.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/7297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecoindustria.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecoindustria.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecoindustria.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7297"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecoindustria.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecoindustria.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecoindustria.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecoindustria.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
