site-industries-cosmetiques Microplastic pollution-free packaging for cosmetics.

Water-based products can now be packaged with Sulapac barrière, a new biobased material capable of biodegrading without leaving permanent microplastics in the environment.

The barrier is no longer an obstacle

The beauty and skincare products sector represents over 500 billion$ per year, with forecast annual growth of 4.75 %. This explains why some precursors are eagerly seeking more environmentally-friendly packaging solutions. Although water-based emulsions account for around 90 % of the cosmetics market, there was no alternative packaging for these products that could biodegrade without leaving permanent microplastics in the environment. 

Sulapac has invented a new material to meet this need (patent pending): Sulapac barrière is environmentally friendly and complies with industry standards, with tests that have produced results, according to the company, "fantastic results."

"I'm delighted that we've managed to create a barrier that's both environmentally friendly and suitable for water-based products! Its development and extensive testing took longer than expected, but we are now able to make the news official. We're delighted to be able to offer a truly revolutionary product to our customers, with industry leaders as our partner of choice for Quadpack cosmetics."explains Dr. Suvi Haimi, CEO and co-founder of Sulapac.

A complete range

Sulapac also announces the launch of a new flexible material designed for thin-walled jars with excellent impact resistance. It has a low carbon footprint, thanks to its eco-friendly design with environmentally-friendly components, and its cost-effective, high-capacity production method. With Sulapac barrière, the company's trusted partners offer a range of jars in different sizes for oleic and water-based cosmetics. They also offer a turnkey solution with support throughout the process.

 "The new barrier material developed by Sulapac enables us to continue offering environmentally-friendly innovations that meet or exceed market requirements. Whether it's new containers or cutting-edge technical solutions, Quadpack is pleased to offer all beauty brands an ever-evolving range of products, which are manufactured in Sulapac material."explains Pierre-Antoine Henry, Category Manager at Quadpack, Sulapac's cosmetics partner.

According to the company, Sulapac has ensured that the transition from conventional plastics to this new material is as smooth as possible. The material in this turnkey solution can be produced on a large scale using existing plastics machinery. It also benefits from a natural look and feel that sets it apart from the competition. "Sulapac is beautiful, functional and environmentally friendly, just like nature.the company says.

Today, industrial composting is the ideal way to recycle a product made from Sulapac material. It biodegrades without leaving permanent microplastics in the environment. Mechanical and chemical recycling are also possible options, and Sulapac is currently developing a closed-loop system. The Take Back Sulapac pilot will be launched shortly.

site-industries-cosmetiques A construction sign for POS 37 is acquired by Verpack, enriching its offer.

When the capital was recently opened up to Crédit Mutuel Equity for 25 %, the Viers family gained the support of external financial partners and the involvement of its management staff. 
Today, this acquisition, made with equity capital, marks the first milestone in the Group's development strategy, which aims to double sales within 5 to 7 years. 

PLV 37, a source of added value

Located at Neuillé-Pont-Pierre in the Touraine region, this unit of some twenty employees focuses its expertise on high value-added functions such as laminating, silk-screening, die-cutting, gilding, folding and gluing... What's more, its structure and positioning promise ample opportunities for development.

"Our aim is to perpetuate our long-standing PLV 37 business and extend our range of services to cover the entire graphics chain, in order to offer our customers greater flexibility and proximity. We plan to offer new services in the very near future, which will strengthen our offer and our attractiveness."comments Stéphane Viers, President of the Verpack Group.

Expanding our offering and gaining in proximity

The integration will be placed under the operational management of Jonathan Allain. With a wealth of technical industrial experience, he recently sold his company TPG Packaging, which focuses on the luxury goods and spirits markets. For the Verpack Group, he will ensure the fluidity of operations with the other sites, in order to offer customers and prospects flexibility and speed of execution. 

"We are proud to have concluded this transaction with the Verpack group, with whom we share human values and environmental commitments. We see this as the sign of a long-term collaboration."concludes Sylvie Casenave-Péré, President of the Posson Group.

Hydration tops the list of sought-after claims

site-industries-cosmetiques A creamy pot with an emphasis on hydration and desired claims, adorned with a leaf.

Skinobs' platforms help cosmeticians, R&D managers, formulators, marketers or regulatory affairs managers to find, worldwide, recognized test providers and relevant methods to support the claims of active ingredients or finished products.

The company provides an update on clinical evaluation tests in a data sheet available online free of charge.

Recent statistics from its "Clinical Testing" platform show that hydration is the claim most favored by its users. A "flagship" position confirmed year after year by numerous marketing studies on consumer expectations. Presented as the sesame of claims, it often remains associated with other skincare claims such as those relating to aging, inflammation, mechanical properties, pollution, complexion radiance, and so on.

The best-known measuring principle uses the skin's electrical properties to assess the moisturizing effect of the Stratum Corneum, epidermis and dermis. This method indirectly measures capacitance, impedance or permittivity with specific characteristics according to the different skin layers. Measurement is easy, fast, reproducible and recognized, and can be carried out under a variety of conditions, including climatic ones:

  • Stratum Corneum: Corneometer (C+K), Dermalab, Epsilon (Biox), MoistureMeter SC, Skicon-200, DPM 9003,
  • Skin: MoistureMeterEpiD,
  • Dermis: MoistureMeterD

Alternative quantitative and qualitative measurements have emerged with different technologies:

  • Micro-topographic analysis: MoistureMap (C+K), Epsilon (Biox)
  • Infrared spectroscopy: Dermo
  • Insensible Water Loss (IWL), indirect method for measuring water evaporation from the skin surface: Tewameter TM 300 and Nano (C+K), Aquaflux (Biox), Dermalab, Evaporimeter, Vapometer
  • Skin surface observation: Visioscan (C+K), Dermalab, Hirox, and all camera systems
  • Scoring by expert technicians and dermatologists is a valuable approach, providing a wealth of information through visual and tactile objectification, using specific scales.

Hydration can be objectivized using very high-tech, non-invasive methods in a number of ways:

  • Observation of skin structure: MPT Flex Optical Multiphoton Tomography, Scanner, Vivascope and Vivosight and Laser Confocal microscopy,
  • Molecular water content with LBRAM 800 confocal microscopy and gen2-SCA Raman spectroscopy.
  • The latest technology developed is 3D LC-OCT microscopy, which provides quantitative and visual results.

Sensory analysis by trained panels or naïve subjects provides scientific objectification and can be combined with emotional analysis. Consumer tests under normal conditions of use also contribute to this evaluation.

Finally, skin studies include scalp studies. For hair care, various methods have been developed to objectivize claims related to combing, friction, traction and structure.

Skinobs recommends taking the time with CROs to design each protocol and precisely define inclusion criteria, measurement times, application conditions, the most appropriate measurement method, etc. V

Global specialty chemicals company Croda has launched a new solution for safe, long-lasting sun protection products, Solaveil MicNo, which combines all the benefits of micro-sized zinc oxide (ZnO) with skin transparency.

This innovative range of ZnO powders and dispersions is based on patented platelet-shaped structures that guarantee a Solaveil MicNo particle size suitable for natural, Cosmos-approved formulations, while remaining transparent on the skin. This level of transparency makes the range versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications and skin phototypes.

Helene Hine, Sun Protection Marketing Manager, comments: "Driven by our "smart science to improve lives" mission, we want to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the world today and are committed to making a positive impact on climate, earth and people by 2030. One of our key objectives as part of our "People Positive" commitment is to protect at least 60 million people a year from skin cancers, through the use of our sunscreen ingredients.Our latest launch, Solaveil MicNo, helps us achieve this goal, by expanding our Solaveil mineral filter range and addressing a key challenge for mineral formulations - skin whitening. As this range is based on ZnO, it is inherently gentle and non-irritating, and there are no skin penetration problems, so it's perfect for babies, children and sensitive skin. Solaveil MicNo products are also ideal for natural brands. The range comprises both coated and uncoated particles, with Cosmos variants available. For the first time ever, it is possible to formulate highly transparent mineral sunscreen systems to meet the needs of consumers looking for natural, clean sunscreens."

site-industries-cosmetiques Quadpack invests in intelligent manufacturing for a plant equipped with advanced machinery and equipment.

Efficiency, high technology and sustainability are at the heart of Quadpack's operating strategy, and the company has invested four million euros with the aim of providing cosmetics and perfumery packaging solutions "in the region and for the region". 

Quadpack's plants in Germany and Spain will focus on Airless and sustainable packaging innovation within its QLine portfolio of smart, modular solutions, with products that can be stored, assembled and decorated anywhere in the world.

Quadpack Wood in Spain now boasts a biomass power plant that is taking the plant to carbon neutrality - an investment of 2.5 million euros. Using wood waste to provide air conditioning and heating, the new plant provides clean energy, reduces waste and cuts dust in the air, for better health and safety. Thanks to this investment, the plant has already achieved a reduction of around 400 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

In addition, €360,000 is being invested throughout 2021 in Industrie 4.0. These are the beginnings of a multi-year project that will include more plants and the application of the system. The plant currently has 63 machines connected by Internet of Things (IoT) devices that will provide real-time data, giving process visibility and equipment efficiency control. With a production capacity of 45 million parts a year, these initiatives set a benchmark for smart, sustainable manufacturing.

An investment of 2 million euros is planned this year for high-speed production and decoration at Louvrette, Quadpack's German manufacturing plant. Louvrette is Quadpack's Airless manufacturing hub, and is set to become a major center for decoration. New decoration and injection-molding equipment will enable it to deliver finished products even faster. In March, Louvrette inaugurated an Airless assembly line with a capacity of 11 million units a year. The plant is also investing in new Airless molds, aiming to increase its Airless capacity to 20 million products per year.

Fabrice Revert, COO at Quadpack, said: "Our investment in smart manufacturing will help our operations become more agile and sustainable. We aim to ensure that our processes have a positive impact on the environment, while bringing value to our customers, in a process of continuous improvement."

site-industries-cosmetiques Six clear glass bottles.

Driven by environmental concerns, several glass industry leaders, including Stoelzle, pumps and brands, have joined forces to form a Flaconnage Géométrie working group at CETIE*. The result is a new range of screw rings in 13/15/17, adapted to market needs for reusable and/or easy-to-recycle bottles.  

The Flacon Neck Geometry group has been working for many months on a short screw-ring option and on the FEA screw-ring/same-height screw-ring interchangeability option. Instead of traditional FEA crimp rings, these new-standard screw rings should be as short as possible, enabling the same pump covers to be used as their crimp counterparts, while guaranteeing good screwing and optimum unscrewing braking. 

A new cubic 100 ml bottle with short screw ring from Stoelzle  

This new top-of-the-range model is the perfect fit for this innovative screw ring, which separates and recycles all the components.. For over a year now, the entire Stoelzle team has been carrying out numerous technical tests on customer lines, which have led to the approval of numerous market-leading brands.
These bushes have brakes in the thread that have been adapted and tested in real-life conditions, guaranteeing good screwing and reducing anti-unscrewing. 

This new offer enables each customer to interchange between FEA or VIS rings, depending on the brand's strategy, project and packaging line adaptation time.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Consumer Healthcare, a global consumer healthcare company, announced that it is partnering with Albéa and EPL Global, two international packaging players, to launch fully recyclable toothpaste tubes.

The partnership with Albéa, one of the world's leading tube manufacturers, will enable GSK Consumer Healthcare to replace its aluminum barrier laminate toothpaste tubes with the patented Greenleaf 2 laminate. 

Gallop UK Extra Fresh TUBE- Packaging - Product Info

According to Albéa, this technology ensures the same level of protection for the formulas as traditional tubes and guarantees their recyclability when efficient collection and sorting systems are in place. 

The transition will begin with Sensodyne and Pro-enamel tubes, which will be available in fully recyclable versions from July in Europe. This transition will be reinforced by a second partnership with EPL Global for the production of Platina laminate tubes. Both laminate components have passed the recyclability tests established by the US-based Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) and the European company RecyClass. Greenleaf 2 tubes are also recognized by Suez.circpack in Europe. The tubes will thus be recyclable and compatible with existing recycling processes. These two joint partnerships should enable more than one billion toothpaste tubes per year to become recyclable by 2025.

"As a global consumer healthcare specialist, GSK Consumer Healthcare is committed every day to preventing oral health problems and providing the most appropriate and sustainable care solutions for the greatest number of people. We are committed today that by 2025, 100 % of our packaging will be recyclable or reusable where quality and safety allow. This is just one part of our sustainable approach, through which we are working to address the social and environmental barriers we face in our daily access to healthcare."says Romana Jourdren, General Manager of GSK Consumer Healthcare France.

GSK Consumer Healthcare is working with retailers and dental professionals to drive the development of more sustainable dental hygiene product solutions around the world. In early 2021, the company launched its first sustainable "Dr. BEST" toothbrush in Germany. Made from sustainably grown bamboo with a biodegradable handle, the Dr. Best brush comes with plastic-free packaging made from recycled cardboard. For Sensodyne and Aquafresh, GSK Consumer Healthcare has also launched a plastic-free toothbrush package that incorporates a cellulose gum window to provide better product visibility for consumers.

GSK Consumer Healthcare is now working to reduce the environmental impact of dentistry and the dental industry as a founding partner of the FDI World Dental Federation's Sustainability in Dentistry initiative. GSK Consumer Healthcare's sustainability initiatives support GSK's new commitment, announced by CEO Emma Walmsley in November 2020, to achieve carbon neutrality and a positive environmental impact by 2030.

"We are extremely proud to roll out Greenleaf 2, our responsible tube packaging solution, with an inspiring market leader like GSK. We are committed to making 100% of our tubes recyclable by 2025, while offering innovative solutions containing PCR, paper and bio-based resins. Responsible packaging is now a must - and it requires a close collaboration between a committed brand and a bold supplier."says Karl Graves, Sales Director of Albea Tubes.

"EPL is proud to be a critical partner in meeting GSK's commitment to have a net zero impact on the environment by 2030. We know that sustainability will drive innovation and be central to our operations, now and in the future. We are committed to being at the forefront of sustainable packaging - and we are already ahead of the curve with Platina, the first tube-cap assembly to be recognized by the APR as fully sustainable and fully recyclable. At EPL, we believe we have an important role to play in preserving the environment and are committed to conserving resources, reducing waste and raising awareness of environmental issues."said Parag Chaturvedi, Vice President of Operations for EPL Americas.
