The issue of recyclability of packaging and its materials used by manufacturers is no longer a matter of incentive, it has become an obligation, increasingly framed by numerous national and European regulations.
How can we design packaging that is truly recyclable, that has an operational processing channel and that does not disrupt sorting or recycling operations?
Which material should be chosen, between plastic, glass, aluminium or cardboard?
What good habits should be adopted, what advice should be followed, to enter the virtuous loop of circular packaging?
This Minibook answers these questions for all professionals in the cosmetics industry.
