Packaging suppliers and brand owners in the food, beverage, and cleaning products markets have made good progress in developing monomaterial packages to enable recycling for previously nonrecyclable packs, such as retort pouches. Now, packaging supplier Albéa has made the same kind of breakthrough for beauty and personal-care packaging, in the form of a recyclable, 100% high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tube and flip-top cap.
Testing by Brussels-based RecyClass confirms that the new cosmetics package is compatible with recycling in the rigid HDPE stream.
