🌱 The Festival of Economics in Trento has just wrapped up, and Epta was more than just an Official Partner — we presented a real example of how we are shaping a conscious future.
We proudly took part in an event that puts sustainable economics at the center of the conversation, involving also our , who joined the experience thanks to Epta’s invitation and were immersed in inspiring ideas and forward-thinking discussions.
🎤 A highlight was the keynote speech by Epta CEO Marco Nocivelli, who shared a powerful vision for a sustainable transition, reminding us that “Innovation means acting today to build tomorrow.”
💡 A tangible example of this vision? UNIT — presented in its renewed version. This revolutionary refrigerated display cabinet is designed around circular economy principles:
🔹 Smart materials: We reduced the number of components and selected sustainable, high-quality ones — including recycled plastics, aluminium, glass, and prestressed cork, a renewable insulator harvested without cutting down trees.
🔹 Design for Disassembly: easy to assemble, disassemble, and repair — extending the product’s lifespan and simplifying recycling
🔹 Low environmental impact refrigerant: UNIT uses isobutane (R600a), a highly energy-efficient, eco-friendly refrigerant.
🔹 Highly customizable. Panels and finishes can be changed intuitively, making it suitable for a wide range of settings, from a high-end cosmetics boutique to a dynamic sports event.
🔹 Industrialized and ideal for the Food & Beverage industry
🔹 Up to 80% recyclable at the end of its life: a product that’s not just built, but designed with sustainability in mind.
🔁 More than a product, UNIT represents a new vision for the refrigeration sector: durable, efficient, sustainable, and service-oriented. It embodies Epta’s corporate purpose: “Preserving our planet with conscious innovation. Together.”
A special thanks to Il Sole 24 Ore and to all the participants who made these days so rich in inspiring discussions and forward-looking ideas!
📌 Stay tuned — we’ll be back soon with more details about the innovative UNIT.
