How to make my cosmetic packaging more sustainable?
"Making your cosmetic packaging more sustainable is a strategic process that combines material innovation, design optimization, and supply chain transparency. At mPackting, we guide brands through this journey with tailored eco-design solutions that enhance environmental performance without compromising luxury and functionality.
Key steps to increase sustainability in cosmetic packaging:
Choose renewable and recycled materials
Opt for certified renewable resources like FSC®-certified wood, recycled glass, and bioplastics certified for compostability (e.g., OK Compost). Using upcycled materials such as mPackting’s proprietary mBlack™ reduces waste and reliance on virgin resources.
Design for circularity
Implement eco-design principles that prioritize recyclability, reusability, and refillability. Simplify packaging components to facilitate end-of-life recycling and encourage consumers to participate in circular systems.
Minimize material use and waste
Optimize packaging weight and volume to reduce raw material consumption and lower carbon footprint during transportation. Avoid unnecessary layers and complex composites that hinder recycling.
Incorporate innovative barrier technologies
Use sustainable coatings and barriers to extend product shelf life while maintaining packaging recyclability and biodegradability.
Engage with certified suppliers and transparent supply chains
Partner with suppliers who provide verified sustainability credentials and can trace the origin of raw materials, ensuring ethical sourcing and environmental compliance.
Communicate your commitment
Transparently share your packaging sustainability initiatives with consumers through labeling, storytelling, and third-party certifications to build trust and brand loyalty.
At mPackting, we combine deep expertise in sustainable materials and luxury design to help cosmetic brands achieve packaging that is both environmentally responsible and market-leading.
