Dow and partners collaborate to advance circularity for luxury goods

Dow, Brivaplast, and TecnoGi collaborated to advance circularity in the luxury goods industry by keeping high-quality materials in the loop for longer.

Substandard pieces in production of perfume caps are reprocessed for use in luxury footwear and leather goods.

Dow currently supplies SURLYN resin to Brivaplast, a top manufacturer of cosmetic packaging. This advanced material, renowned for its aesthetic qualities and performance attributes, is used to craft flawless, gem-like perfume caps for prestigious fragrance brands.

However, production of luxury perfume caps requires stringent quality standards, which occasionally results in the production of substandard pieces.

To reduce post-industrial scrap and promote circularity, TecnoGi, an innovative leader in manufacturing components for the footwear and leather goods industry, will reprocess these imperfect perfume caps for use in high-end components for luxury footwear and leather goods.

With this collaboration, the three companies are highlighting an opportunity in the luxury goods industry and demonstrating the importance of collaboration across the materials value chain to promote circularity.
