WorldStar Awards 2023: Mono-material solutions make waves in sustainable packaging
Jan 16, 2023
Product: Recyclable Mono-Material Pump - Future
Company: Aptar Beauty
Dermalogica has collaborated with Aptar to be the first skincare brand launching its cleansing line with Aptar’s fully recyclable mono-material pump, Future.
Traditional pumps may contain different materials, including metal components that may impact the recycling process. Future is made from PE only, which aligns with the most common materials used to make bottles – PE and PET and consists of a plastic spring.
By combining Future with a fully PE Bottle (made of 50% PCR), Dermalogica is able to deliver a fully-recyclable package with no need for separation. The integration of 50% PCR furthers its circularity contributions.
Another important feature of the Future pump’s innovative design is an incorporated, easy-to-use on/off locking system and a 360° actuator. This prevents the pump from leaking while in transit shipment, and on-the-go.
