Product Safety

Want to keep your high-value pharmaceutical and cosmetic products safe?

Our composite materials offer unmatched protection for your product content while using minimal material. This ensures that your products are not only well-protected but also meet strict regulatory requirements for safety and sustainability.

Traditional materials often compromise between protection and material usage, making it harder to maintain product integrity without increasing the carbon footprint or failing regulatory standards.

Our advanced barrier structures, whether hard or soft, are specifically designed to extend the shelf life of expensive products, protecting them from external factors. This ensures your pharmaceutical and cosmetic products remain effective for longer, with significantly less material usage.

Recycled Content

Do you want to reduce the virgin plastic content of your packaging?

Incorporating recycled materials into your packaging is a powerful way to drive sustainability and minimize environmental impact. By using materials with a high percentage of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, you help reduce the demand for virgin plastics, lower your carbon footprint, and contribute to a circular economy.

Many traditional solutions still depend on large amounts of virgin plastic, making it difficult for companies to meet their environmental targets or reduce the financial burden of EPR fees.

Recycled plastics offer an effective route to meeting your sustainability goals, saving significant amounts of virgin plastic content, and reducing EPR fees. By closing the loop and keeping plastic in circulation, recycled materials not only contribute to a greener supply chain but also help your company align with both industry regulations and consumer expectations for eco-friendly packaging.

Reduced Material

Are you looking to reduce your packaging’s plastic content?

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.

Recycling Friendly​

Are you struggling to find packaging solutions that are truly recyclable?

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.
