From the outset, Coverpla, a turnkey perfumery specialist, has stood out for its injected surlyn caps without inserts. Today, the Nice-based company is diversifying its range of caps with the aim of being 100 % eco-responsible.
Since its first hood collections, Coverpla has been working with molds whose impressions allow the part to be clipped directly onto the pump cover. These covers, most of which are injected in surlyn, have thus become perfect candidates for recycling.
But to meet the demand for diversification, Coverpla and some of its partners have developed hoods in aluminum, zamac, wood or other resins, requiring the presence of an insert.
On the move
In line with its commitment to eco-design, Coverpla is looking into single-material hoods and removable inserts.
In particular, the company is taking advantage of innovations from its Spanish partner Pujolasos to expand its range with an exclusive hood model made from FSC wood with a compressed cork insert, or a PP part whose insert can be easily removed by the consumer for recycling.
Countdown to recyclability
Coverpla's forthcoming Too-Doo and Torrid wooden hoods will both feature a cork insert. Then, almost all the wood hoods in the catalog will have a cork insert.
Last but not least, Coverpla has developed a special mold that will soon enable it to produce a hood in biosourced PLA-type material, 100 % biodegradable.
Further developments will follow in response to customer requests.
