Eco-friendly stirrers for vending machines

Gi.Plastic Group Vending S.r.l. manufactures high-reliability products for the vending sector. Rigorous raw-material selection, continuous technological research, and ongoing investments ensure full compliance with current food-contact regulations, with particular attention to environmental protection.

Today the company holds a prominent position on both the Italian and international markets, ranking among the leading Italian producers of stirrers for vending machines, also available individually wrapped in plain or custom-printed paper.

With the entry into force of Directive (EU) 2019/904 on single-use plastics (SUP), the European Union introduced measures to reduce the environmental impact of certain single-use plastic items. Since January 2022, the Italian implementing decree has promoted the purchase and use of alternatives to specific single-use plastic products—either reusable or made from biodegradable and/or compostable materials—certified to UNI EN 13432.

To preserve its manufacturing vocation, the company launched a technological upgrade of its machinery, replacing traditional plastic items with new compostable versions to meet the needs of a market increasingly oriented toward high-quality, sustainable products.

We offer compostable stirrers (compliant with UNI EN 13432:2002) in various sizes and versions for every application.

Made from renewable raw materials, they can be disposed of with organic waste at end of life. Certified for composting under EN 13432, they provide a virtuous, natural disposal route.

The disposable stirrers are suitable for contact with hot beverages, do not deform, and—after extensive testing—ensure smooth, reliable single-stirrer dispensing in vending machines.

In addition to compostable CPLA products, we have refined production of PS REUSE stirrers, certified reusable for 125 wash cycles in compliance with UNI EN 12875-1:2005.

These new items are already in production for both vending and OCS (Office Coffee Service) channels.

Gi.Plastic Group Vending S.r.l. delivers rapidly across Italy and Europe, meeting the needs of even the most demanding customers.
