Aptar Beauty + Home, a leader in dispensing and packaging solutions for the consumer packaged goods industry, is expanding the use of post-consumer recycled resin (PCR) into their airless line with the launch of two new products: Micro ECO + Mezzo ECO.

Micro ECO + Mezzo ECO incorporates up to 45% PCR* in the combined components and are Cotrep certified for eco-design. Aptar’s entire range of locally-produced airless solutions are 100% plastic and ECO-Cert certified, provide optimal formula protection, and are compatible for a multitude of application fields including skin, hair and body care, color cosmetics and hand sanitizer. Customers are able to convert the current Micro and Mezzo top-fill package in a multitude of colors and sizes through Aptar’s extensive PCR supply.

“Our commitment to sustainability is broader than manufacturing products that are better for the environment. Through increasing our use of PCR in our core product lines we are able to help our brand partners achieve their sustainability goals, while doing our part towards a circular economy.” – Philippe Erhart, President, Beauty + Home, North America

According to a global survey by Nielsen, 81% of respondents feel strongly that companies should help improve the environment.

In alignment with the Ellen Mac Arthur Foundation, Aptar is committed to achieving 10% recycled content in all dispensing solutions for the beauty, personal care, and home care market by 2025.

“Aptar is committed to the Science Based Targets initiative. In addition to promoting a more circular economy for our products, the use of more post-consumer recycled resin contributes to our SBTs by reducing emissions associated with raw material consumption.” – Beth Holland, Vice President, Operational Excellence, EHS & Sustainability, Aptar
