Packaging of Maison Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria hand cream.
Amcor’s proprietary CleanStream technology mechanically recycles household polypropylene (PP) waste into high-purity recycled plastic suitable for contact-sensitive applications.
The process goes beyond simple material-based sorting by employing multiple AI-driven sorting steps, including automated identification, sorting and decontamination, to achieve this quality.
The CleanStream recycled polymer offers no compromise on the packaging performance in terms of its aesthetics, product protection or functionality.
Guerlain’s hand cream packaging is produced in three colors to identify the different variants in the skincare range. Its multilayer construction protects and maintains the quality and effectiveness of the cream.
The bottle is screen printed, and both it and the cap are finished with a matte colorless varnish. As it is produced solely in PP, the bottle can be recycled in European locations where the appropriate recycling infrastructure is in place.
The bottle and cap are produced at two of Amcor’s factories in France, providing a complete pack solution for Maison Guerlain.
