The finding is strong and the law is there for the recall through the ban of plastic in packaging or disposable products, according to Article L541-10-5.

By reading the paper or dematerialized press we see that the good or the bad student in the use of plastic stops at the Agri-Food Industry (IAA) without taking a time to analyze everything that surrounds us in our universe personal and professional.

Packaging and eco-design: a universe of cosmetics and well-being that is reinventing itself

Reduction of plastic: the art food manufacturers, yes, but not only!

As we have seen in this article, the IAA is doing sustained work to find alternative solutions to reduce the consumption of plastic packaging, even if the solution to replace it in its barrier functionality has not been completed by the date of today.

There are other sector's activities which we hear little about or which are more discrete and board on this subject by sent ant fully concerned by this issue. This is particularly the case for the cosmetics sector and health.

The Question of Reducing Plastic In Cosmetics With Custom Boxes Design

Through numerous projects carried out by Custom Boxes Design in cosmetics for the development of "secondary" packaging, the discourse is unanimous on this plastic issue:

We have reduced the plastic part of our primary packaging (tube, jar, bottle, lid) we also want to offer secondary packaging (cardboard) that is more virtuous for its end of life, without this affecting the image of brand with the consumer.

This sector has been reinventing itself (for some time now without making noise) in its consumer offer, taking into account societal orientations and to be a player in the protection of the environment. Small brands, increasingly emerging in number and institutions are united around this issue with a very strong desire to present solutions.

But, how can we concretely reduce the plastic in our cosmetic packaging?

Cosmetic packaging and eco-design: concrete solutions from Custom Boxes Design to reduce plastic

Ultimately, banning plastic is not a solution. But taking action on certain elements that reduce its impact on the environment. While protecting the consumer by providing information on the product and communicating about the brand is a real mission and subject of society.

Beauty does not exclude the eco-citizen approach by taking into account the eco-design and LCA (life cycle analysis) of the packaging and the reduction of its environmental impact.

1. Bio-Sourced Recycled: researching alternatives to plastic in cosmetic packaging

This reduction in the plastic part involves research into plastic that is bio- sourced or that incorporates a part of recycled. It is important to choose virgin plastic that is not soiled and traced to ensure consumer safety and to avoid physicochemical reactions with the product.

To help you choose the best alternative plastic Custom Boxes Design can help you advising you specialized organizations on the subject.

2. Optimize the Size Weight and Use of Cosmetic Packaging

The research and development is upstream in a design office as is the case with Custom Boxes Design, working on the weight, shape, and ergonomics to the reusability of the packed Primary in the form of refill from the distributor (work on single use).

Reducing the cardboard portion of secondary packaging thus makes perfect sense.

3. Rethink the Interior Shims of Your Cosmetic Packaging

To reduce the impact of plastic wedges are used to position several products in a case or box.

The problem of plastic wedges is part of this plastic reduction approach with alternative solutions in multi-layer cardboard. These neither allow for the shape of the cosmetic product at present and the protection without distorting the offer nor disrupt the market segment (fully recyclable with a measured tool cost).

4. Improve Inventory Management in the Cosmetics Sector through Digital Printing

Less plastic also means better inventory management. Is there an important work on the obsolescence of the package which leads ultimately to destruction? Digital printing today responds to this very insistent demand from our contacts in cosmetics. Indeed, this technology allows you among other things to produce personalized packaging adapted to each of your targets, in small and medium series.
