Available in three PCR levels (30 %, 60 % and 100 %), Baralan's new closures offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional polypropylene components.
Baralan, a specialist in primary packaging for the cosmetics and beauty industries, will now offer durable components with varying levels of PCR (post-consumer recycled). The range of closures produced at the company's Italian plant, traditionally made from polypropylene, will be available in three PCR levels: a basic level of 30 %, an intermediate level of 60 % and a full level of 100 %.
The aim: to promote a circular economy for the entire cosmetics packaging industry. The different levels of PCR on offer will enable brands to maintain their desired packaging aesthetics while meeting growing consumer demand for sustainable products. Even customers seeking high-end aesthetics will be able to incorporate a certain amount of PCR into their packaging solutions.
Note: PCR material can be used with existing molds and equipment, enabling brands to switch to more durable products without having to invest in specialized equipment.
"This launch is extremely exciting for us from a sustainability perspective. It demonstrates our commitment to developing innovative, environmentally-friendly packaging solutions for cosmetics and beauty products that meet the high quality standards our customers and end-users expect, while reducing our impact on the environment, said Maurizio Ficcadenti, Global R&D Director. As our PCR closures mark the beginning of a new era for cosmetics and beauty products, we decided to invest in research and development."
