Aluminium Plates: A Sustainable Revolution in Disposable Tableware

An Eco-Friendly Alternative for Wholesalers, Catering Chains, and Consumers

Aluminium plates are designed to meet the demands of the catering industry, mass market retailers, and final consumers. They come in various sizes and shapes, accommodating a wide range of foods, including acid and salty dishes. One of the standout features of these plates is their versatility, allowing them to be used for heating in both traditional and microwave ovens, freezing and deep freezing, as well as serving and consuming food. Additionally, the plates can be lacquered in any color, offering a customizable touch.

The production process of these plates involves a cold-moulding technique patented by Contital Srl. The plates are made from an aluminium alloy with 100% recycled aluminium, making them an eco-conscious choice. With a thickness ranging between 60 and 90 microns, the plates maintain strength despite their low thickness, ensuring durability during transportation, sealing, and storage.

Not only are these plates environmentally friendly, but they also offer convenience to users. They can withstand temperatures over 200°C, making them suitable for use in ovens. After use, the plates can be easily recycled, adhering to national regulations and contributing to a circular economy.

The development of these aluminium plates posed several challenges. The design team had to overcome technical obstacles to ensure the plates' strength and ability to withstand the stresses of transportation and storage. Through innovative engineering and meticulous research, Contital Srl successfully created a product that meets these requirements.

The aluminium plates were officially launched at Fiera Marca in Bologna on January 15-16, 2020, following a project that commenced in January 2019. This revolutionary design has garnered recognition and accolades, including the Bronze A' Design Award in the Disposable and Single-Use Product Design category. This prestigious award celebrates designs that exhibit creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life.

Contital Srl's aluminium plates represent a sustainable revolution in disposable tableware. With their recyclability, versatility, and strength, these plates offer a responsible choice for wholesalers, catering chains, and consumers alike. Embracing the principles of innovation and sustainability, Contital Srl continues to make a positive impact on the environment and the way we approach everyday products.
