Several companies will be launching new sustainable packaging solutions at the Cosmoprof Bologna trade show this week.
Eastman will be showcasing its green packaging materials. The company has recently achieved RecyClass Recyclability Approval for eight of its PET resins for cosmetic packaging, including Cristal™ One Renew IM812. According to the company, this material represents a major breakthrough, combining sustainability with luxury aesthetics.
Cristal Renew IM812 is recyclable (RIC1), made with up to 100% certified recycled content via mass balance, and offers glass-like clarity and gloss. It allows for the production of thick, high-transparency parts, providing luxury brands with eco-conscious solutions without sacrificing performance or aesthetic appeal.
The Italian company Baralan will be launching a new range of primary packaging products. According to the company, they marry tradition with cutting-edge innovation. These include monomaterial solutions designed to streamline recycling and promote a circular economy. The product line also features sophisticated designs and finishes, with highlights such as a refined lilac bottle adorned with innovative 3D decoration. Baralan says these advancements demonstrate it’s commitment to blending aesthetics with functionality while prioritising environmental performance.
Baralan is also announcing the release of its first environmental, social and governance (ESG) report. The report highlights Baralan’s plans to enhance the recyclability of its packaging by reducing waste, increasing the use of recycled materials, and implementing innovative design techniques to minimise packaging weight. This initiative is supported by the company’s continued investment in advanced technologies and sustainable manufacturing processes. Baralan’s goal is to integrate sustainability into every aspect of its operations, reinforcing its position as a pioneer in eco-friendly packaging solutions.
Cosmoprof Bologna will take place on 20-23 March at BologneFiera. More details are on the website
