Materials & innovation
Sustainability
We go beyond what regulation requires: alternative materials and smarter product design that uses less material, without compromising on quality.
Our approach
Beyond what regulation requires
Regulation sets the minimum. In every project we look for the most sustainable option that fits your product, your design and your budget.
That means alternative materials and smarter product design: fewer parts and less material for the same performance, without compromising on quality.
What we do
Four ways we reduce impact
Less material
Smarter designs with fewer parts reach the same performance and quality feel with less material. That means less energy in production and lighter packs to ship, so the packaging costs less and has a lower impact on the environment.
Alternative materials
Mixcycling® blends with cork or wood, BioD bioplastic, paper, glass and aluminium as alternatives to conventional plastics.
Recycled and recyclable
Mono-material packaging for easier recycling, and PCR materials on request.
Refill systems
Refillable jars and airless dispensers keep the outer pack in use and reduce packaging waste.
Example: Slipstick
A lipstick with fewer parts
The Slipstick is a slide-up lipstick built from three parts instead of the usual five. Fewer parts mean less material, less energy in production and lower cost, with a simple sliding gesture instead of a twist mechanism.
It is available in mono-material PP for easier recycling, or in biodegradable BioD.
