There is a closed recycling loop for milk bottles. That means that after use, consumers throw milk bottles away into purpose-built collection containers. The bottles are then taken to a recycling plant and processed into pellets (PCR material).
Similarly, process-related waste is reused in industrial laminate production. This waste is sorted by type and converted back into new pellets (PIR material).
Our recycled tubes are combined with these recycled plastics up to a level of 77% in body, shoulder and cap, so that they contain 73% PCR material, one of the highest proportions of PCR in the tube industry. Recycled material is suitable for use with cosmetic products. Tubes can be recycled in the PE container stream thanks to the high proportion of HDPE.
The empty tube is disposed of in the same recycling stream as a conventional PE tube. Tubes are decorated using solvent-free colors and low-solvent varnishes.
