In today’s blog, I want to introduce you to some really attractive innovations for beauty packaging, focusing on sustainability.
As we see some big brands make a recycling packaging commitment within a certain time frame, today I want to introduce you to some cool, exciting innovations.
First is the polylactic acid packaging
As we all know, conventional plastic materials come from petroleum-based and fossil-oil sources. After usage, they cannot degrade or may take hundreds of years to degrade in our environment, leaving microplastics that impact our soil, oceans, and animals.
Converting these into biodegradable
Furthermore, these bottles are created from sugar cane, which is used to make bottles and jars. They can be blown into the kinds of packaging you want. However, through the injection process, they can be made into biodegradable PLA packaging. The PLA materials have the same clarity as our conventional plastics, a neat surface, and can be screen printed.
Advantages
Aside from its sustainability and protective properties, PLA has other advantages for cosmetic brands.
Firstly, the simplicity with which it may be customized with various branding and design elements. For example, companies who like more rustic packaging might use kraft paper on the outside and PLA on the inside.
Custom beauty packaging suppliers also pair them with bamboo caps to create a more natural texture for brands.
Its industrial compostable
Unlike conventional plastic materials, after usage, the suggested disposal method is industrial composting. Under industrial composting conditions, the PLA bottle or jar will biodegrade within half a year and for about 180 days. However, turning into water and carbon dioxide with the action of microorganisms, leaving no permanent microplastic in the soil.
PLA is an eco-friendly choice
It’s really eco-friendly, and if these products are discarded into the environment, the disposal conditions will be similar to landfilling. Under this condition, it will also biodegrade but takes more time, like two to five years, turning into carbon dioxide and water, leaving no microplastic on the earth. These bottles can also be recycled.
HDPE Or corrugated(Flute) boxes
Secondly, we want to introduce something similar to the PLA packaging. Packaging manufacturers use certain raw materials from plants to replace conventional plastics. They mix wheat straw with some HDPE or PP to make cosmetic beauty boxes. These wheat straw bottles are constructed of wheat straw and HDPE. Brands also have wheat straw jars, where wheat straw is mixed with PP and PLA material. This is more popular, but the processing is also more sophisticated and difficult.
Consumers likes corrugated beauty boxes
Many customers like this because it has natural wheat dots on the packaging, creating a natural image and texture.
Last but not least, we want to introduce bio-plastic tubes made from sugar cane. These tubes feel and look exactly like our conventional PE tubes, but the raw materials are plant-based. With HDPE or LDPE material, we can make single-layer or five-layer tubes, and we can also do screen printing. We offer various lid options for you to choose from.
Pro-tip for adding a logo
One truly great feature is that if we utilize more than 60% bio-plastic for the product, we may use a logo from our raw material supplier. Add the “I am green” plastic logo, and place it on your product. This shows our customers that we are committed to sustainable cosmetic packaging. Some customers have given feedback that having this logo on our product helps it stand out in supermarkets or shopping malls.
