Global Recycling Day

Global Recycling Day took place this week.

Did you know that recycling is estimated to save over a billion tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2030, according to the Global Recycling Foundation?

Recycling plays a key part in boosting global sustainability: everyone can contribute and make a difference.

How do we try and improve our sustainability?

Our teams research design techniques to reduce the use of packaging materials.?We also use strategic manufacturing locations to reduce our carbon footprint by producing your products as close as possible to your factory.?

We champion sustainable materials which are easier to recycle, such as Post-Consumer Regrind.

Let’s reuse and recycle as much as possible!


Packaging Regulations

Is your perfume packaging following regulations?

Perfume packaging is one of the most creative and varied types of cosmetic packaging.

There’s no limit to how weird and wonderful you design it to be.

However, there are some essential packaging laws you need to consider.

Information that MUST be shown on your perfume packaging includes:

  • Products made in the EU require the company name and address
  • Weight/volume of the contents
  • The EU’s symbol used for ‘best before
  • Or the words ‘best used before the end of’, along with the date
  • A batch number or reference
  • Ingredients list

International Fragrance Day

It was International Fragrance Day yesterday, and perfume packaging is one of our specialities.

For this, we reshared our research into the UK's top 10 most popular perfume scents.

We found that oud takes the top spot with a huge lead, followed by vanilla and coconut in the top 3.

But, this information is only somewhat useful.

How can you choose YOUR favourite from these?

Well, we have some tips and tricks in our blog post, which you can read here.


Industry News

Disposable vapes are set to be banned in line with a Government announcement in January.

The ban will no doubt cause some frustration across the UK.

An area of concern has been the impact of disposable vapes on the environment.

Recycling disposable vapes isn’t particularly easy: a lot of vapers probably don’t know that you can take them to a specialist vape shop or drop them in an electrical bin at your local tip.

Due to this, currently around 10,000 kilograms of lithium end up in landfills each year, which can lead to pollution of our waterways.

Reusable vapes will still be available.

These are more sustainable, and with child resistant caps now available for e-liquid bottles, they also present a safer alternative to disposable vapes.


As Seen In...

Did you know that in the UK, one in five individuals lives with a disability, a physical or mental impairment that significantly impacts their ability to perform routine activities?

This statistic underscores the importance of inclusivity in all aspects of life, including product packaging.

According to Steve Brownett-Gale in an article published by WARC , accessible packaging is a design approach that considers the diverse needs and abilities of all users.

Accessible packaging is not just about physical access; it also encompasses clear and understandable product information, ensuring that everyone, including those with cognitive impairments or literacy challenges, can make informed decisions about the products they buy.
