The first dossier on wooden packagings

1,720 million euro turnover, 2,228 active companies in Italy, about 11 thousand employees and a production volume that exceeds two million tons: these are the figures of wooden packagings in Italy, which stands at place number 3 in the ranking of European manufacturers, after France and Germany. These figures are contained in the first Dossier imballaggi in legno 2009 (2009 wooden packaging dossier), first edition of an annual guide jointly created by ConLegno (wood-cork services consortium), Rilegno (national consortium for the collection, recovery and recycling of wooden packaging) and Assoimballaggi, which was presented officially at the end of last year.
Presenting raw materials, products, performance, companies and trends of the industry: this is the purpose of the Dossier, which offers a full picture of the wooden packaging industry, from wooden crates to industrial packaging, from pallets to corks, illustrating their lifecycle from creation to their re-use as secondary raw material.
