Like its collections, the packaging of the latest eau de parfum from the Italian sportswear brand Fila seduces with its classic design, the choice of high quality materials and its practicality. Very sober, the bottle of the eponymous eau de parfum is enhanced by a cap made of Surlyn PC 2000, with a cubic shape and a perfectly crystalline transparency despite its great thickness. Inside the cap of this androgynous bottle, a pink or blue polypropylene insert differentiates the women's fragrances from those of men and visually echoes the bottle's marking. The Surlyn gives a shine and creates a depth effect to the insert which takes on a particular and distinctive relief. Annalisa Longoni, Sales Manager in Italy for the Medicos Group, who produced the cap, explains "The Surlyn allows us to premiumize this extremely simple bottle aimed at a young audience and which corresponds to the trend of flat design today. For the manufacture of this very massive cap, we had no other choice than to use Surlyn. Only this resin can allow us to make transparent parts with such a large thickness and a perfect rendering, with no apparent ghost. Made in a single injection, this massive cover gives the impression of being made of glass. Surlyn also has all the required properties in terms of chemical resistance, excellent scratch and abrasion resistance, and haptic qualities.."
Unbreakable, trendy yet elegant, this hood made of Surlyn of excellent quality perfectly met the specifications of the Fila brand for a packaging intended for a rather young public.

G.Pivaudran tests recycled aluminum
g.pivaudran, a French company, designs and produces innovative, made-to-measure metal objects, mainly in aluminum, for the worldwide perfume, cosmetics and spirits markets.
At g.pivaudran, metal is used in its purest form.
Drawing on years of experience and perfectly mastered technology, the company has been testing the possibility of integrating recycled aluminum into its production for several months now.
Aluminium, an infinitely recyclable material
Alongside its aluminum suppliers, g.pivaudran has initiated discussions and technical trials to ascertain the extent to which it would be appropriate to incorporate recycled aluminum in the deep-drawn parts produced, without altering the possibilities offered by this material in terms of shaping.
Encouraging initial results
"Things are speeding up, and we can announce today that the first tests carried out by our teams on new aluminum rollers, allow us to go one step further. We're making progress. We're now in a second wave of tests, and we're continuing to work to guarantee our customers reliable, high-quality, sustainable production of all-recycled aluminum solutions," says Marc Pivaudran, President of g.pivaudran.
Recycled aluminum appeals to brands
"By working at a very early stage with our customers, we will soon be able to offer brands recycled aluminum products in the responsible luxury sector," adds Marc Pivaudran. "After the first encouraging tests, the challenge now is to accelerate the development of innovative responsible solutions and dare to break certain codes in the luxury sector", explains Hervé Delaigue, g.pivaudran Sales & Development Director.
On the occasion of his participation in the PCD trade show, and even if this sector has yet to be organized, g.pivaudran will present some initial leads on this new field of prospects.
Texen launches Beautifull Skin, a new skin care routine
Following on from the Beautifull Lips range of applicators presented last year, Texen is launching a skincare product called Beautifull Skin; a jar and Mucell applicator for two-in-one use.
Combined with a standard jar produced by the Rose site, the cap plays a double role. In addition to its sealing function, it puts the texture and density of Mucell at the service of a new cosmetic gesture.
Once the formula has been applied to the skin, simply reposition the cap on the jar and grasp the set to penetrate the active ingredients, gently stimulating micro-circulation, exfoliating and relaxing.... That's why Beautifull Skin is ideal for rich skin care.
A small aesthetic plus, Mucell injection can easily follow the decor chosen by the brand.
Mucell, an exclusive technology
The Texen Lab continues to develop applications based on Mucell technology, for which the group has exclusive cosmetic rights. This modulable-textured material can be used to meet brand objectives through targeted application modes.
A responsible applicator
Following an eco-design logic, the applicator part of the lid detaches from its base, facilitating recycling of the jar and cap. The applicator is also completely repositionable, making it easy to clean from one use to the next.
Beautifull Skin will be presented in prototype form at PCD, packaged with Agrimer's Caviar végétal scrub.
Arcade Beauty commits to 100 % in the environment
With a dedicated team and a CSR director, Arcade Beauty is committed to preserving the environment, from the purchase of raw materials through its manufacturing processes to the final product.
Arcade Beauty has made recyclability a priority objective, with the aim of achieving 100% of these products ready for recycling by 2025. To achieve this, the group intends to act throughout the product life cycle: raw materials, production, use, transport & recycling.
Priority is given to plastic-based products, through a re-engineering of technical specifications aimed at :
. Use of recycled materials (PCR)
. Reducing the weight of plastics used
. Product recyclability
Reducing environmental impact
For all its products, Arcade Beauty favors digital printing, which has less impact on the environment than rotogravure.

Greener packs
For sachets, 3D Pouch (pack with cap from 10 to 500 ml) and overwraps, Arcade Beauty has developed a recyclable, aluminum-free monomaterial complex with a reduced carbon footprint.

The masks are made from natural, organic and biodegradable non-woven fabrics.
Arcade Beauty develops sample and mini-product solutions that reduce packaging weight for equivalent dosage, notably the 3D Pouch and the pillow.

Passion Beauté and Beauty Success create the Economic Interest Group of Independent Perfumers
Through this GIE, Passion Beauté and Beauty Success intend to gain access to dedicated offers that meet manufacturers' volume requirements. This joint capacity will enable the two brands not only to strengthen their positioning as specialists, but also to increase their competitiveness vis-à-vis the national networks that dominate perfumery distribution.
The GIE's primary objective is to enable both brands to offer even more attractive and differentiating products and services, in line with growing consumer expectations.
This EIG is also likely to welcome other players in the selective perfumery sector, in order to consolidate the position of independents in the market.
Beauty Success and Passion Beauté are two independent networks operating in the luxury perfume and cosmetics retail market, as well as in the beauty care market. Passion Beauté is organized as a retailers' cooperative (120 perfumeries-institutes) and Beauty Success as franchises and branches (320 perfumeries-institutes). Both brands have a local network, marked by a strong local presence, with their respective outlets located in medium-sized towns. Geographically, the Beauty Success and Passion Beauté networks are complementary. The two brands also share a strong sense of proximity and service.
