At Paris Packaging Week

• Hyléance - deodorant refill in a small and intuitive format, in full PP. 45ml, roll-on. It's a small and easy to handle format with a similar size to current deodorant packaging on the market, which can make the switch to refillable more intuitive for consumers.
• mPackting - biocompound made from biochar (charcoal) and natural bio-compound. Black for luxury finishes. For injection moulding technology. They are currently developing the blow moulding technology for an added variety of application in packaging.
• Pinard Beauty Pack - reduced wall refill. With 14gr of PET - instead of 35gr - for this refill bottle. It can also be manufactured in recycled PET.

• Coverpla now offers 100% recycled glass in its catalogue thanks to a partnership with Estal, spanish glass maker. The new range offered a new naturally coloured glass or amber glass. This type of glass varies in coloured, and sometimes presents other irregularities. Such a choice represents a strong environmental standpoint, a commitment to a “raw” product that consumers must accept or alter their perception of “imperfections.”
• Bormioli Luigi is now offering a new Sputtering technology to replace metallization. It offers the product the same shine and resistance to shock, scratches and juices. However, the sputtering technique consists of applying the décor in a vacuum using a physical process very different to metallization. The chosen metal – steel, gold, silver or copper, for example – is transformed with gas and deposited on the surface of the bottle in the form of micro-fragments, making it possible to determine thickness for a minimal impact. But its main objective is to offer glass that remains transparent, making it detectable in recycling streams, thereby guaranteeing recyclability. Mastering this technique is a game-changer.
