Our Packaging

 

 The packaging selected by Mangia, Inc. is the result of a conscious and strategic choice, aimed at ensuring high standards of environmental sustainability, safety and logistics optimization throughout the supply chain. 

Ours is a rigorous approach, it allows us to establish reliable and proactive supply relationships, capable of supporting our environmental and safety commitment and constantly innovating towards more efficient and eco-friendly packaging. 

The materials used metal, cardboard, paper, plastic and wood are selected not only for their technical properties (recyclability, resistance, safety) but also according to strict sustainability criteria. In particular, we evaluate our suppliers for the transparency of their sourcing practices, environmental material certifications and their commitment to social responsibility and continuous improvement. 

The metal is extremely efficient, safe, BFA and PFAS free, infinitely recyclable, impact resistant. Its ability to maintain product properties without the need for refrigeration also allows energy savings of up to 70% across the entire supply chain. 

Glass, which can also be recycled countless times, is safe and chemically inert, ensuring maximum protection of the contents without altering its organoleptic or chemical characteristics. 

The cartons used are highly recyclable, eco-friendly, composed mainly of FSC-certified virgin fibers and post-consumer materials, without the addition of polluting chemicals. The labels are also in line with our sustainability criteria: they are made from recycled paper, from certified sources and printed with eco-friendly inks. As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental footprint, we are dedicated to ensuring that our cartons and labels are made from post-consumer waste (PCW) materials. This not only helps in reducing landfill waste but also supports the recycling industry. 

As for plastic, it is fully recyclable and comes from recycled materials, thus reducing our impact on the environment and promoting the circular economy. 

The wood used for our pallets, fumigated according to ISPM 15 international standards, plays a crucial role in ensuring the integrity of products during transport, while avoiding the spread of pests during trade. 

Thanks to this integrated and responsible approach, through the targeted selection of materials and suppliers, Mangia, Inc. confirms its commitment to a responsible, sustainable and constantly evolving packaging model.

Upcoming Changes: Cartons and Labels

#CarmelinaCares 

  1. “Same Delicious Quality, Fresh New Look!”: In March 2025, the innovative and eco-friendly packaging was presented to our customers, reassuring them that the quality and taste of the products they choose and love have remained unchanged.

With our Phase 1 initiative, Mangia, Inc. has emphasized its dedication to reducing non-recyclable waste and transitioning to fully recyclable cartons and paper labels made entirely from eco-friendly materials, and the use of recyclable containers:

  1. White cartons have been fully replaced by recyclable cartons with a new design;
  2. Switching to recyclable paper labels;
  3. Metal cans, pouches, and glass jars remain recyclable.

With the new look, we guarantee:

  • Enabling energy 
  • Savings supporting material 
  • Reductions increasing recyclability

Growing Responsibly

 

        Actions we’ve taken           Where we’re going next 
  • Established guidelines for our suppliers’ primary and secondary packaging, outlining materials and practices to discontinue, transition, maintain and accelerate.
  • Qualified suppliers who use renewable energy, reduce energy and water consumption in packaging production.
  • Optimization of packaging shape and volume to optimize transport and emissions.
  • Implement reusable packaging solutions.
  • Promoting circularity.
  • Transparent communication and education.
  • Building our ability to gather more packaging material data, which will be key to establishing a packaging sustainability baseline and comprehensive goal.
  • Leveraging our new Sustainable Sourcing team to explore initiatives for more sustainable containers.
  • Internal and external awareness campaigns on separate collection and recycling.
