Quality and respect for the environment are two concepts that should be closely linked. Pasta Sgambaro is an example of this: founded in 1947, Sgambaro Molino e Pastificio aims to bring good, healthy and safe pasta to the tables of Italians. To this end, Sgambaro has been using exclusively durum wheat produced in Italy since 2001: a decision that not only ensures direct supply chain control, but also eliminates the impact of international transportation of the raw material.

The focus on environmental responsibility, however, does not stop there. The desire to leave a world better than it found it still guides the business strategies of the company, which has embarked on a 10-year improvement plan to become Climate Positive by 2030. Noteworthy among the concrete actions that are part of this continuous improvement journey is the total elimination of plastic from the new 100% recyclable packaging of the Etichetta Bio line, a new packaging entirely composed of FSC®-certified virgin cellulosic fiber, an innovation that won the ADI Packaging Design Award 2022 awarded by the Association for Industrial Design by virtue of “innovation, clarity of information, and the use of fully recyclable environmentally sustainable materials.”

And it doesn’t end there: Sgambaro is also at the forefront of taking care of natural ecosystems, supporting reforestation projects and protecting and restoring existing forests in compliance with stringent responsible forest management standards.
