The Unique Paper Tube
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING This Ø35 mm laminated paper tube is produced on our SAESA®100 line. The renewable and resistant Natura Shape™ cardboard skirt from Stora Enso contains 72% fibers. Its functional barrier offers excellent resistance to liquids and oils. To enhance its visual appeal, we use hybrid printing technology which allows for a wide range of decoration options similar to what is done on the labels. Our Decoseam™ technology involves welding two strips inside and outside the joint to prevent the cardboard from absorbing moisture. The tube is easily filled and sealed using an automatic filling machine. Finally, it is technically recyclable in the flow of used beverage cartons. 🌱 Laminated containing 72% paper ♻️ Recyclable in the flow of used drinks cartons ⬇️ Low profile shoulder and cap ********* Technology used to make this tube: Decoseam™ Aisa machine used for the manufacture of this tube: SAESA®100 Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q026q2Wn0

Extrusion & Label: the best of the two worlds
Markets: cosmetic and personal care Thanks to Decoplas™ unique technology combining tube extrusion with innovative labelling decoration, you have the decoration and logistic advantages of the label in a tube format but with the feel and touch of an extruded tube. This is the perfection solution to produce sophisticated tubes with high recycling potential. Decoplas™ customers can use recycled PCR material to make the extruded sleeve and compression moulded shoulder. Fully recyclable, these tubes are already on the shelves. The ideally suited Decoplas™ technology is ready for the circular plastic economy because the thin decorated label perfectly hides any potential discolouration coming from the extruded PCR material.
80% Paper laminate tube - Together
An elegant paper tube elevated by refined gold embossing. This 50mm diameter tube is made from Huhtamaki's Blueloop™ barrier paper laminate, containing over 80% cellulose fibre. Or said differently, the laminate contains 80% less plastic, which is replaced with a biosourced material that reduces its carbon footprint considerably. Made from renewable resources, it perfectly combines sustainability and innovation, offering an elegant and responsible alternative to consumers. The paper material used for this tube offers new decoration possibilities: hot or cold foil deposition, embossing or even nano-embossing promise unforgettable haptic and visual experiences. Thanks to Decoseam™ technology, the longitudinal weld is covered by two strips, even on the outside, protecting the paper edges. The choice of a lighter shoulder and cap is part of a continuing eco-design approach to reduce the plastic part of this packaging.

Technology for recycling plastic waste
This patented technology, codeveloped with REPLACE, enables plastics industry players to transform composite plastic waste — previously considered unrecyclable — directly into 100% recycled and recyclable profiles such as stakes, planks, poles, and pallets. Replace technology has reached TRL 9, meaning it is fully proven and ready for largescale deployment across territories. Our model combines expert technical assistance with a circular economy approach, covering every stage from waste collection to the commercialization of new, high-value and competitive products. Our model complements that of plastic regenerators by providing a solution for recycling their residual waste streams. REPLACE’s solution transforms hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable, circular products, offering a concrete and scalable response to the packaging waste challenge. Its potential to reshape how complex plastic waste is managed and valued in the packaging industry is clear, and this recognition confirms it. REPLACE has been selected to join L’Oréal L’AcceleratOR program, in collaboration with the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.
