Its handy that Barilla tastes great and is not just popular in Italy, its the biggest in italy. I followed your advise on here and ordered off www.theitaliandeli.co.uk and recieved my order. The packaging was made using a second hand box with a note inside stating they re-use all boxes to save packaging as they are an eco friendly company. I had another order off them and it was a corporate box that can be 100% recycled. recommended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626051914359095155.post-8857964872662042782009-04-27T08:29:00.000+01:002009-04-27T08:29:00.000+01:00Yay!

Guess what, since reading your post and the comments here, I've found an online retailer of Barilla products so if those interested can't find the brand in the supermarkets, you can at least try online at http://www.theitaliandeli.co.uk. I can't vouch for the packaging they use for deliveries, but at least it's a start.Karen Cannardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11646863548062429471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626051914359095155.post-77278397339107191042009-04-24T19:07:00.000+01:002009-04-24T19:07:00.000+01:00I totally agree with you, John.
I have no idea a...I totally agree with you, John. <br /><br />I have no idea about the exact percentage of material which is rejected here in Italy, in the recycling process. What I surely know is that it depends from local recycling facilities. Every province has its rules and different recycling systems. More are the bins for recycling, better is the quality of materials. <br /><br />Here in my province, we have five different kinds of bin: organic (wet) waste, glass, paper and cardboard, non-recyclable waste and what they call 'light packaging'. Last one includes different kind of plastic, aluminium, steel and general metal waste. It's clear that in a mixed waste collection like this, quality is not guarateed, and surely the percentage of rejected material will be high. <br /><br />So only good information can help people to separate and clean materials before throwing them in the recycling bins. And I think we can work together even for this!dandaworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539992452778511972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626051914359095155.post-18415452807436800592009-04-24T16:11:00.000+01:002009-04-24T16:11:00.000+01:00Danda,

We should encourage people to provide good recyclate, partly to avoid material rejected, and landfilled. A percentage of mixed plastic recycling is waste-bound which is a shame. The figure is ~5%.<br /><br />What is the Italian situation with this issue?John costiganehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625967157312556249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626051914359095155.post-78604692208626252592009-04-24T15:11:00.000+01:002009-04-24T15:11:00.000+01:00Thanks so much, Layla!

I found in the guide for local waste collection, that the service tolerates a little percentage of plastic foil in recycling paper and cardboard, perhaps they discard it during the recycling process, even if it is waste the same! <br />But this is what happens locally... I don't know if that plastic percentage is accepted everywhere!<br /><br />I think that we have to take the advantage of the chances to make our request to the manufacturers or superstores, because, as John said, we would create a new sustainable mentality!dandaworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539992452778511972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626051914359095155.post-42104279066988355822009-04-24T13:46:00.000+01:002009-04-24T13:46:00.000+01:00Great article! :)

Here too, with the excepion of this brand, there aren't any other options. And I'm also very annoyed because I love organic pasta but you can't find any brand that sell it carton boxes! <br /><br />So, it is great that the major Italian pasta manifacturer cares about the environmental problem. I wonder why the others - especially that ones involved in preserving organic farming - do not take example from it! <br /><br />But there are still some products lines, even in Barilla, - such as lasagne, tagliatelle and so on - that are still sold in cardboard boxes with the filmsy plastic window or at least wrapped in a tin PP bag. I think that they mantain this transparent film for a marketing reason... perhaps they want to show the roughness of the pasta surface, which is the equivalent of a good quality. <br />I can ask it to the customer service it too. It could be a good reason to make Barilla know that they must improve with their effort...dandaworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539992452778511972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626051914359095155.post-44545934732394885572009-04-24T08:40:00.000+01:002009-04-24T08:40:00.000+01:00Hi John,
thank you very much for your comment!
...Hi John, <br />thank you very much for your comment! <br /><br />I'm sure Barilla pasta is sold in France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Slovenjia, Turkey, Austria, Greece, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Russia, North America, South America, Japan and Australia... I didn't see any reference about offices in UK, perhaps they haven't the license to sell there. Sorry! <br /><br />I didn't investigate more, but you can ask there at supermarkets and other kind of shops. Even you can create the demand of this product or perhaps make seller more sensible to your needs! <br /><br />I wanted to publish this article because I knew that it is of international interest. But if you want, we can ask to the Italian customer service some infos more. Do you think it could be a good idea?dandaworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539992452778511972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626051914359095155.post-32895724940931956412009-04-24T08:25:00.000+01:002009-04-24T08:25:00.000+01:00Hello Danda, lovely to read your post and see you ...Hello Danda, lovely to read your post and see you contributing here.

I have seen similar for frozen desserts in Aldi. The point is to highlight such good examples for local interest firstly, but also to encourage other countries to follow suit.<br /><br />Do they sell the product here in the UK? If so, we can all support the sustainable option.John costiganehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625967157312556249noreply@blogger.com
