THE SAME QUALITY OLIVE OIL IN A NEW 100% RECYCLED BOTTLE, MORE RESPECTFUL TOWARDS NATURE*.

Bertolli's simplicity and quality translate into innovation and progress. We present a new bottle made with recycled materials that shows greater respect for the environment, a smart choice that helps build a better future for generations to come.

WHAT IS R-PET:
THE SOLUTION THAT COMBINES QUALITY
AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.

WHAT DOES R-PET MEAN?

Polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a thermoplastic resin suitable for food contact, making it ideal for producing bottles that preserve the quality of our oil. Specifically, R-PET refers to Recycled PET. An R-PET bottle is therefore made from 100% recycled plastic, enabling us to reduce our environmental impact.

HOW IS A PLASTIC R-PET BOTTLE CREATED?

In order to transform plastic into R-PET, there are 4 simple but precise steps to follow:

  1. Collection and quality assessment of the plastics that would be processed.
  2. Classification of the materials by polymer type and colour.
  3. Initiation of the recycling phase: the plastic bottles are washed in hot water to remove labels and any other remaining residuals.
  4. Recycling produces the final material, the finest PET flakes from which our 100% recycled plastic bottles are made of.

WHY DID WE DECIDE TO ADOPT R-PET?

There is a future challenge that unites us all: citizens, companies, and institutions.

REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT.

We are committed to REDUCING THE VIRGIN PLASTICS PRESENT IN THE ENVIRONMENT, which are negatively impacting the ecosystem around us.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY MANIFESTO:
What matters to you, matters to us.

OUR GOALS
By 2030, we aim to maintain zero waste certifications for our factories, reduce the environmental impact of our packaging, reduce our own carbon emissions, and encourage our suppliers to reduce their environmental impact.

OUR SUCCESS TO DATE
Since 2022, the electrical energy purchased for our factories has been 100% sourced from renewable energy, certified through Guarantees of Origin.

WE'VE DECIDED TO THINK AHEAD

We're improving our products today for a better future tomorrow.

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE

The new Bertolli bottle, made from 100% recycled plastic, helps us contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) for 2030. We're all called to act consciously and do our part.
The actions we take every day can help improve our current situation.

RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION

Through recycling, Bertolli prevents the generation of more virgin plastics.

CLIMATE ACTION

Using recycled materials makes our Bertolli bottles more environmentally beneficial than our previous bottles, allowing us to reduce our environmental impact.
