Mono-materials are particularly crucial for the packaging industry because anything that can’t be recycled is going to landfill. Because packaging is so plentiful, any reduction in landfill or increase in packaging that can be recycled is hugely beneficial to the environment.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a social shift away from unsustainable products. 60% of consumers say that they strive to make more environmentally-friendly choices when making purchases – this includes opting for products with more sustainable packaging. With this in mind, it’s important for businesses to consider sustainable packaging solutions for their products.

UKPACK Packaging has met the market’s demands with their mono-material packaging solutions including the All Plastic Airless Bottle. The mono-material all plastic bottle consists on a bottle, nesse, pump head and dust cover, all completed using the same material. The pack is suitable for emulsions and creams, amongst many others.

Another of UKPACK Packaging’s mono-material solutions is the All Plastic Pump Head. The pump houses an innovative plastic mechanism, bidding fairwell to the traditional built-in metal spring.

Because they only consist of a single material, mono-materials are typically easier to recycle than products made from different things. An added benefit is that they generally use less energy to recycle because a ‘pre-stage’ of splitting or dividing the various materials apart doesn’t have to be taken into account. The overall recycling process is, therefore, faster, more efficient, less energy-intensive and more cost-effective.

UKPACKPackaging is consistently keeping their customers and the environment at their top-of-mind awareness. Fully committed to providing sustainable packaging, mono-material packaging is one of many ideal solutions for your beauty products tailored to your brand.
