Francesca Sancinelli, director of the plastic department of Montello SPA  on the stage of the winners at the Plastics Recycling Show Europe 2022 in Amsterdam

In the Building & Construction Product category, the SOLAR HEAT panels, in recycled plastic by Montello SpA, in collaboration with WET/Ecopixel srl, impressed the judges for the originality and aesthetics of the concept, combined with the fact that the panels are made with at least 95% post-consumer recycled plastic. The design also allows recyclability at the end of life, creating a circular product that has the potential to provide an alternative source of sustainable heating.

"We are very happy to have won this award - says Francesca Sancinelli - We believed from the beginning (i.e.1996) in the recycling of post-consumer plastic from urban separated collection, and this is the recognition for all the hard work done. Together with our partners WET/Ecopixel we have created a solar panel with an eco-design able to perform its function in a sustainable way both from an environmental and economic point of view".

Montello was also a finalist in the Leisure & Household category with EcoPackly, multipurpose folding container by Fratelli Guzzini.
