Tapì commits to carbon footprint reduction

Closures company Tapì has unveiled its new NEOS technology, which it says will reduce its carbon footprint and help it source renewable materials.

Tapì, which produces closures for spirits, wine, condiments, cosmetics and beer, said NEOS will specifically apply to its drinks closures and help it to adopt “polymers from renewable sources”.

The new scheme will involve “continuous research” into new materials “that can completely eliminate the use of oil sources, making way for raw materials from eco-sustainable sources”, the group said.

The technology will ensure Tapì’s products continue to look the same, but enable them to be made from raw materials from renewable sources “without undermining their technical features in any way”.

NEOS will become part of Tapì’s existing sustainability project known as LEI (low environment impact).

The statement concluded: “For years, sustainability has been the core of Tapì’s values and strategy and with NEOS, we are committed, on a daily basis, to creating closure systems that are environmentally friendly, reduce waste and improve efficiency.”

The news follows Tapì’s acquisition of French closures business Les Bouchages Delage last year. Tapì said the deal created a “closure hub” which now operates in more than 60 countries and has over 5,000 customers.
