HELSINKI, Finland (March\u00a07th, 2023)--An award-winning\u00a0material innovation startup,\u00a0Sulapac<\/a>, has launched\u00a0Sulapac\u00a0\u00ae\u00a0Luxe, a new bio-based material\u00a0ideal for substituting hard plastics, including ABS,\u00a0as part of its expanded portfolio for cosmetics and beauty packaging.\u00a0The new material comes in response to demands from the beauty industry\u2019s leading brands for more environmentally conscious packaging solutions that still offer high-end luxury feel, function, and aesthetics.

\u201cOne major challenge beauty brands face in replacing conventional plastics is the strict performance criteria of the chosen materials,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0says\u00a0Colin Strobant<\/strong>, International Sales Director at Sulapac.

\u201cWith Sulapac<\/em>\u00ae\u00a0\u00a0Luxe, we have shown that conventional plastics can be easily replaced without compromising on quality. We have listened to our customers\u2019 challenges, and the material has been through an extensive development process to ensure it stands up to the highest demands for luxury performance.\u201d<\/em>

High density, resistant to temperature fluctuations, ceramic feel and sound, and a glossy, smooth\u00a0surface\u00a0are some of the material\u2019s characteristics, which are important for luxury brands. Sulapac\u00ae\u00a0Luxe is not only recyclable, but as all Sulapac materials, it can also be made with recycled content, another feature important for many premium brands, according to Strobant.\u00a0\u201cSulapac is a pioneer in recycled bio-based materials and our aim is to\u00a0use only recycled biopolymers\u00a0within the next 5 years<\/em>\u00a0,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>says Sulapac\u2019s CEO and Co-founder\u00a0Dr.<\/strong>\u00a0Suvi Haimi.\u00a0<\/strong>Sulapac\u00ae\u00a0Luxe is made from industrially compostable materials, it leaves no permanent microplastics or toxic load behind.

Several\u00a0high-end\u00a0beauty brands have already shown interest in utilizing\u00a0Sulapac\u00ae\u00a0\u00a0Luxe in\u00a0combination with their existing glass fragrance bottles\u00a0or jars.\u00a0The material\u00a0is commercially available to all manufacturers\u00a0and slips seamlessly into\u00a0existing injection molding production\u00a0lines.

Sustainable solutions for various applications and manufacturing technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\nWith the expanded portfolio Sulapac\u2019s customers can now create packaging for various product areas including skincare, makeup, and fragrances.\u00a0Shiseido\u2019s\u00a0brand Ul\u00e9 utilizes\u00a0Sulapac\u00ae\u00a0for\u00a0their\u00a0lids, while a diverse group of skincare brands from Lumene to Manik package their products in Sulapac\u00ae\u00a0jars. The selection of materials and production techniques allows brands to choose between a matt, glossy, or natural appearance complimented with a wide range of color options.

The successful launch of the BetterBarrel by\u00a0Schwan Cosmetics\u00a0last year, and Toly\u2019s popular Infinity Line of powder compacts made with Sulapac\u00ae\u00a0further demonstrate the versatility of Sulapac\u2019s offering. Sulapac has also developed premium quality solutions in collaboration with CHANEL, including sustainable bottle caps created exclusively for the fragrance range LES EAUX DE CHANEL and the lid for the N\u00b0 1 de CHANEL Cream.

Besides materials for injection molding and extrusion, Sulapac\u2019s portfolio includes solutions for thermoforming allowing cosmetic companies to create sustainable logistic trays and\u00a0point-of-sale displays,\u00a0as well as for 3D printing enabling sustainable\u00a0prototyping.

Regulation and ambitious sustainability targets urge brands to switch to biobased, circular solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Demand for\u00a0sustainable\u00a0solutions is accelerating rapidly, as\u00a0companies are actively seeking alternatives for certain\u00a0conventional plastics widely used in cosmetics packaging, including\u00a0thermoset materials. They are unrecyclable and thus potentially subject to restrictions by\u00a0European Commission\u2019s\u00a0upcoming\u00a0Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).\u00a0There are also upcoming country specific restrictions for certain materials, such as ABS, that push companies towards more sustainable solutions.

\u201cWe are happy to see the positive movement within the cosmetic sector as more and more brands are turning away from conventional plastic. Our job is to make this transition as easy and beneficial as possible \u2013 for brands, their customers, and the environment\u201d,<\/em>\u00a0says Haimi.

\u201cIn Sulapac materials the pioneering sustainability features, circularity, functionality, and aesthetics come together in a unique way enabling our cosmetic customers to meet their sustainability goals and regulative requirements while fostering a high-end image and exquisite customer experience,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0concludes\u00a0Strobant.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
