Traceability, Innovation, and Sustainability: The Future is Filiera Punto Zero

Written by pasquale_en | Apr 3, 2025 3:19:27 PM

In a world where consumers are increasingly attentive to quality, origin, and environmental impact, food traceability is no longer a plus—it’s a necessity.
With the Filiera Punto Zero project, Molino Bongermino has anticipated this need by adopting innovative and sustainable tools to ensure transparency, safety, and environmental responsibility in every step of the supply chain.

🌾 Blockchain: Grain that Tells the Truth

In our sector, saying “traceability” is no longer enough. Today we need a system that is reliable, verifiable, and tamper-proof.
Blockchain technology allows us to record every stage of the grain’s production cycle in a transparent and permanent way:

  • Where the grain was grown

  • When it was harvested

  • How and where it was stored

  • When it was milled

  • Which varieties were used

All this information is easily accessible through a QR code printed on every package. Consumers can retrace the journey from field to table, backed by secure and decentralized technology.

🛡 Blockchain & Digital Product Passport (DPP)

The European Union is introducing the Digital Product Passport (DPP) to improve supply chain transparency and promote sustainability.
Our blockchain-based traceability system already anticipates many of the DPP requirements, offering:

  • Detailed information on the origin and transformation of the raw material

  • Transparency about composition and environmental impact

  • Real-time data available via QR code scanning

The DPP will soon be mandatory in various sectors, and we believe it will also become key in the agri-food industry—promoting trust and consumer awareness.

🧊 Modified Atmosphere Packaging: Safety and Extended Quality

Alongside traceability, we’ve introduced Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to: ✅ Preserve the organoleptic qualities of the semolina
✅ Avoid the use of chemical preservatives
✅ Naturally extend the product’s shelf life
✅ Protect against oxidation, moisture, and external agents

This packaging is especially useful for professionals who need semolina that stays fresh and stable over time, without compromising performance.

♻️ Sustainability: More Than Quality, a Responsibility

Our commitment to environmental sustainability also extends to packaging choices.
We use a 100% recyclable certified paper solution, designed to maintain the quality of the product even after MAP sealing.

At a time when the food industry must reduce its impact, this choice is a concrete act of responsibility toward the environment and future generations.

📌 The Value of an Integrated Approach: Transparency, Safety, and Respect

A bag of semolina is more than just an ingredient. It’s the result of work that starts in the fields, passes through technological innovation, and ends in a conscious choice by the consumer.

With Filiera Punto Zero, Molino Bongermino puts product truth at the center of a traceable, safe, and sustainable path.
One step at a time, toward a future built on quality and respect.
