Beauty brands and packaging suppliers are increasingly challenged to design packaging that is safe first, and avoids reuse or recycling of harmful materials second.
Eurofins supports its customers' quality control and risk assessment procedures in the design, reuse and recovery of packaging, from the resin stage to the final packaging and throughout the product life cycle, considering both simple and complex packaging.
In a context where environmental challenges, performance, safety and regulatory issues are closely linked, Eurofins has implemented a three-step strategy to assess the safety of packaging, coupled with testing under relevant conditions.
The company supports beauty brands and packaging suppliers in terms of :
- regulatory and safety assessment of cosmetic packaging, examining packaging materials, verifying compliance, evaluating potential interactions between the container and the contents, developing an appropriate analytical test and safety assessment plan,
- Analytical tests, performing chemical, physical and mechanical tests, analyzing toxic substances, ensuring food contact tests (global and specific migration, NIAS), evaluating the plastic content with regard to critical product protection requirements, verifying the suitability for filling at points of sale, performing compostability tests
- audit, assessing the supply chain, packaging manufacturers and packaging material suppliers.
