At Neopac, we push the boundaries of packaging sustainability.
The PaperX FiberTop Tube marks a breakthrough in eco-conscious tube design: it’s the world’s first fibre based tube featuring ca. 85% fibre content enabling its recyclability in the conventional paper stream — including body, shoulder, and closure.
Radically designed for visionary brands committed to minimizing plastic use, this packaging solution offers a drastic reduction in fossil-based materials and carbon footprint, while maintaining functional performance, bulk compatibility protection, and aesthetic appeal.
The PaperX FiberTop is made from FSC-certified, food-grade materials and demonstrates that scalable full-fiber innovation is achievable. It is compatible with standard filling & end-sealing customer processes, free-standing by design, and ready for the next steps involving customer specific design adaptations and industrialization.
Our bioplastic solutions significantly reduce the environmental impact of your packaging compared to conventional plastic tubes.
While there are some options for bioplastics, many of them are based on materials that do not fully minimise carbon emissions or meet the highest sustainability standards.
Our bioplastic tubes are made from renewable raw materials, such as plant-based materials, which have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics. These tubes fulfil the most stringent sustainability certifications, including Ecocert and Cosmos, ensuring that you not only reduce your environmental impact but also meet high ecological standards.
Many brands are challenged by the carbon footprint of their packaging when using traditional plastic tubes.
Switching to thinner-walled, lightweight tubes significantly lowers your carbon footprint. While thin-walled tubes are common, most solutions overlook the potential to further reduce material use in key areas like caps and shoulders. These components often add unnecessary weight and material, limiting your sustainability goals.
Our advanced tube technology minimizes material usage not only in the walls but also in the caps and shoulder design, all without sacrificing the essential protective barriers that keep your product safe. With our solution, you achieve both sustainability and performance.
Packaging made from multiple materials, especially those containing aluminum layers, creates significant challenges for recycling, often resulting in waste streams that are difficult to process efficiently.
By using a single material family, such as PE or PP, for the entire packaging—body, cap, and shoulder—you ensure compatibility with recycling systems. This approach simplifies the process, reducing the risk of materials being diverted to landfills or energy recovery.
Multi-layer or composite materials often mix different substances, making separation and proper recycling nearly impossible. This complexity leads to higher waste and environmental impact.
Our mono-material packaging offers a clear path to recyclability. With all components made from the same material, it can easily be recycled, closing the loop and contributing to a circular economy. This approach not only supports sustainability goals but also reduces the environmental footprint without compromising packaging performance or appearance.
At NEOvision in the innovation hub, we create packaging concepts that set new standards in materials, functionality, and design. Our pilot projects are both inspiration and testing ground: boldly conceived, sustainably developed, and designed with large-scale feasibility in mind. Each study takes you one step closer to your tailor-made brand solution.
