SupplySide Report
Roncadin
Roncadin has developed a kids’ pizza together with Disney and their new film Toy Story 3, which will be released in summer 2010.
The pizza comes in a “Toy Story”-branded frisbee. This product will be initially launched in Italy and Denmark.
It is the first time that a pizza comes with a toy, which can also be used as a plate. Furthermore there will be 4 different frisbees (with different characters), which makes it interesting to collect all of them.
Usually kids love to eat pizza, but parents are sometimes a bit concerned if this is the best nutrition. Therefore the pizza respects the strict nutritional guidelines of Disney that it is an appropriate product for a child:
- Small portion
- Low in calories
- Low in salt (sodium)
- High quality product (with selected ingredients)

Bonduelle Italia
Bonduelle Italia, leader in the fresh vegetables market thanks to its premium brand products, shows a great interest in eco-sustainability with the preview of its new container Skinny-Pack, for the range “Agita & Gusta”, literally “Shake & Taste”.
The success of Bonduelle derives from its constant commitment to propose new and original solutions that can meet the needs of consumers. With its wide product offering, Bonduelle facilitates the consumption of vegetables, whose nutritional value is fundamental for daily wellbeing.
In example of this, in 2003, Bonduelle launched “Agita & Gusta”: an innovative line of salads ready in four simple moves to consume at any moment. “Agita & Gusta” is a practical and intelligent solution for those who prefer speed and convenience in the food prêt à manger.
Now today, with “Agita & Gusta Skinny”, Bonduelle aligned itself with the expectations of protecting the environment, as required by major retailers, nowadays more rigorous in the relationship with their business partners, paying greater attention to environmental aspects and ethical business. This new model of eco-friendly tray, produced by the Italian company Internova Pack, uses a new hybrid patented technology that combines the best advantages of a light film membrane with the properties of a traditional rigid container. With no compromise on functionality and better aesthetics, the new containers’ Skinny-Pack can considerably reduce the use of plastic (up to 60%) compared to conventional equivalent packages.
Det Norske Veritas
To assess the ecological impact of Skinny-Pack, Det Norske Veritas (DNV) measured the C02 from the processes of production and distribution of the new packaging, or the so-called “Carbon Footprint”, comparing it with that associated to the packaging used previously. The results have clearly highlighted the best environmental performance of the new pack that, thanks both to the changes introduced in its production process, as well as a substantial 40% weight reduction (from 39 to 24 Grams) allowed an overall cut of more than 3000 Tons of CO2 per year compare with the existing tray.
All the analyses and quantifications of the reduction in greenhouse gas emission have been conducted by DNV in accordance with International standard ISO 14064 while the full Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of the product have been assessed according to the PAS 2050 directive.

OTG
To capture that distinct Caribbean summer feeling, OTG has created a special range of non-alcoholic instant drinks in different popular cocktail flavors: Pina Colada (Coconut/Pineapple), Erdbeerlimes (Lime/Strawberry) and Caipirinha (Lime/Cane Sugar).
These products are not only of exclusive flavor, but are also quick and easy to prepare, because of the fast solubility of the granule. These drinks will refresh consumers with a typical Caribbean cocktail taste without any alcohol and bring a sunny feeling to wherever they enjoy these products. The drinks are very profitable as they provide up to 8 liters out of one PET-tin with only 400g granule. Furthermore, OTG has chosen an exceptional packaging concept. The product is presented in a special figured waist-tin with a trendy vision panel to enable you to see the content.
With the packaging and the calorie-reduced recipes, OTG provides the new idea of a conscious and calorie-reduced consumption of instant drinks. These innovative flavors have not been sold before so they are the ideal products for your individual summer promotion.
Have you become curious and thirsty? The OTG welcomes you at PLMA “World of Private Label” Stand 4602 to satisfy your thirst – also try out the other refreshing instant varieties e.g. Cool Exotic Lychee or Rooibos-Elder.
