The aim of Enyax S.r.l. is to offer innovative plastic solutions that meet current sustainability standards. Since its founding in 2014, the company has been a proponent of cutting-edge technologies and compostable materials. With its specially developed biopolymer 'Bio-Dì', Enyax offers a product that is appreciated worldwide for its versatility and environmental compatibility. 'Our materials are not only biodegradable but also fully compostable - a true alternative to conventional plastics,' explains Anna Meluso, who has been an assistant to the management since the company's inception.
Bio-Dì is the result of intensive research and continuous development. It meets the strict certification requirements of the 'OK Compost' label from TÜV Austria, thus ensuring compliance with regulations and offering environmentally friendly solutions. The biopolymer is designed to meet the specific requirements of the industry while simultaneously providing practical solutions for consumers. Whether for packaging, shopping bags, or single-use applications - Bio-Dì covers a wide range of uses and contributes to the transition to a sustainable circular economy.
Bio-Dì: Sustainable Plastic Processing
The core product of Enyax, Bio-Dì, is characterized by high flexibility and broad application possibilities. It is suitable for compostable packaging, shopping bags, bio-waste bags, disposable tableware, and coffee capsules. Thanks to its innovative composition, Bio-Dì reduces environmental impact and promotes a circular economy. "Our customers appreciate the versatility of Bio-Dì and the ease of compliance with legal requirements," emphasizes Anna Meluso.
In many countries, such as Italy and Germany, compostable alternatives to plastic are prescribed. Bio-Dì meets these requirements and is therefore increasingly in demand. Besides packaging, Enyax offers solutions for the catering and food industries. A highlight is the development of compostable coffee capsules that are heat-resistant and environmentally friendly. This innovation demonstrates how Enyax combines sustainability and functionality. Disposable tableware such as cups and plates made of compostable material is also increasingly used in the catering industry, as it meets the practical demands of everyday life while simultaneously protecting the environment.
Growth through Expansion
Enyax is not only active in Italy, but exports 40% of its production to Germany, Belgium, Spain, Finland, Sweden, and Greece. "Germany is an important market for us," explains Anna Meluso. Countries with strict environmental regulations offer great potential for their products. "Our goal is to expand our presence in Europe and beyond," she says. Initial successes in Dubai and other non-European markets confirm the global trend towards compostable plastics. Despite the pandemic, Enyax remained stable.
"The demand for compostable packaging continued as many stores remained open," explains Anna Meluso. This shows that Enyax has a strong market position and is on the right track. The success proves the company right: Over the past few years, it has been able to steadily increase its production capacities and open up new markets.
Research and Development as Key
A vital factor for Enyax's success is ongoing research. The company operates its own laboratory for basic testing and collaborates with universities and external labs. "These collaborations keep us technologically up-to-date," says Anna Meluso. Thus, Enyax can continuously develop new solutions and improve existing products. "Regular quality controls ensure that our biopolymers meet the highest standards," she emphasizes. The collaboration with research institutions ensures that Enyax can flexibly respond to market changes.
The team masters the challenges of the market through quality, flexibility, and sustainability. "We rely on the latest technologies, continuous training, and innovative processes to continuously optimize our products and set new standards," adds Anna Meluso.
Future Vision: Global Sustainability
The company pursues a clear vision: "We want to strengthen our market position and grow globally," explains Anna Meluso. The goal is to tap into new markets such as North America, the Middle East, and Asia and to be successful there in the long term. "Sustainability is globally important, and we want to contribute to making the world greener and more livable." The product portfolio is also continuously expanding. "We are working on new biopolymers for diverse applications and industries," she reveals.
With innovative strength and a clear strategy, Enyax is ready to take a leading role in the field of sustainable plastic solutions. "We are convinced that our products will significantly shape the future of the plastics industry," emphasizes Anna Meluso.
