“Design for Recycling” – Recycling-friendly packaging design

In Europe, too, a not inconsiderable proportion of packaging waste unfortunately still ends up in landfills instead of being recycled.

Therefore, it is our concern to promote circular economy and to contribute to a functioning recycling cycle with our packaging design. The basis for this is the so-called “Design for Recycling”, the recycling-friendly design of a packaging. In the course of product development, all components of a packaging are consistently designed for recyclability.

The jars of our impregnated cosmetic pads are an illustrative example of sustainable packaging development. On the one hand, they fulfill all the classic packaging functions by protecting the product, making it optimally available and providing important product information. On the other hand, the crucibles are deliberately designed to be ultra-light and thin-walled, in line with the principle of efficient use of natural resources. They also contain a proportion of recycled plastic and are themselves made from only one type of plastic, for maximum recyclability. This means that the plastic used can remain in a closed cycle for a long time, which massively reduces the burden on the environment.
