Virospack introduces a fully recyclable monomaterial pump

Published: 11-Oct-2024

Virospack shares: "We are excited to introduce the company’s first 100% Recyclable Eco-Pump, specifically designed for the beauty and personal care industries. To enhance recyclability without the need for prior disassembly, the pump is made entirely from PP (polypropylene) mono-material."

Implementing eco-friendly packaging is no longer optional, it’s a necessity. Many consumers prioritise sustainability, compelling brands to be more socially and environmentally responsible. By incorporating sustainability into design, we gain insight into the product's impact throughout its entire lifecycle. This approach allows Virospack to ensure that all efforts are made to produce a product that aligns with and supports a sustainable system.

In creating this concept, Virospack’s experts applied recognised eco-design principles, which emphasise the use of monomaterial plastics in dispensing products to simplify the recycling process. Unlike traditional pumps, which often contain multiple materials, including metals that complicate recycling, this solution is designed for easier, more efficient recyclability.

The monomaterial Pump is ideal for a wide range of products, including skin care, hair care, baby care and pet care, such as serums, essences, lotions, and shampoos, as well as thicker, high-viscosity products such as sunscreen, makeup foundation testers, creams and gels.

PP material is known for its compatibility with cosmetic ingredients, which is crucial for maintaining the product's safety and efficacy. Its resistance to many chemicals makes it particularly suitable for products with high acidity or high concentrations of certain active ingredients.

The new product is not only recyclable but also user-friendly and features a premium aesthetic. Going green doesn't require compromising on aesthetics. This mono-material pump combines a luxurious appearance with 100% PP construction and recyclability, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious consumers. It can be customised through Virospack’s in-house processes, such as metallisation, screen printing, and colour options, to help brands enhance their market positioning and build their identity.

We are thrilled to introduce our latest sustainable innovation, a groundbreaking dispensing solution that embodies our dedication to promoting a circular economy,” said Aida Rodriguez, CEO of Virospack.
