Texen adapts its production tool to make an XXL ecodesigned compact for Chanel

July 19, 2022

Chanel has chosen food-grade recycled PET for the launch of its 10x10cm compact, the largest in its Les Beiges line. Texen had to reinvent its production tool, in partnership with Roctool, to meet the brand’s demanding aesthetics requirements.

Texen has been investing in R&D, industrial capability and in rebuilding conventional logistics capabilities for 18 months. The group’s optimisation work covered the entire value chain: from sourcing the recycled material to using the BESST (Beauty Experience Sensation Surface by Texen) technology, which sublimates the material to give it super-premium aesthetics and absolute shine.

A dedicated machine at the Texen Lab creates prototypes in conditions that mimic industrial ones, allowing the material to remain fluid and ensure a flawless packaging product.

“Among other things, this technology helps to overcome some of the main impediments linked to recycled materials,” highlights Texen.
