In the bottle
Ensure increasingly sustainable packaging.
OUR COMMITMENT
Innovative, lightweight and low environmental impact packaging that protects all the quality and properties of Monini oil.
The glass bottle, from 1950 to present day
There is nothing that we hold dearer than to bring bottles to the tables of our customers that protect all the quality of our oil, preserving its organoleptic properties while optimising the consumption of materials. In 1950 our foresightedness inspired us to release the first glass bottles onto the market, as they are more suitable for distribution and domestic consumption. Today we work tirelessly with our suppliers to make 100% recycled glass bottles. This continuous pursuit of improvement, a major challenge for 2030, has thus far enabled us to use recycled glass for 60-65% our best-selling Classico and Delicato products and 70-75% of Selezione Italiana products.
An environmentally friendly bottle
We will use nothing but low-environmental labels and 100% recycled cardboard packaging to communicate the origin of our product; as of 2022, PET capsules will also contain 20% recycled material. Moreover, starting from the end of 2021, we aim to convert all 50% PET packaging into 100% PET packaging.
Intelligent packaging
Together with our suppliers, we have set ourselves the target of eliminating all things superfluous, reducing the weight of packaging in all steps of the process.

The traditional model of linear economy subjects the environment to the unsustainable pressure of waste production and pollution. Circular economy is an alternative that enables us to re-evaluate waste as a potential primary material, with advantages to people and the environment.
The problem of plastic waste on Earth can no longer be ignored; possible trends for tackling it are continuously growing and include manifold materials. Transforming the packaging sector is a fundamental step that generates important benefits for the environment.
Glass is considered a “clean” material as its production does not involved polluting substances, and it can be infinitely recycled. A precious element for storing extra virgin olive oil, ideal for protecting the product from light and oxygen, keeping quality levels high.
