A sleeve made from up to 60% recycled material
Alcan Packaging Beauty presents its latest innovation: an environment-friendly PCR* plastic tube with a sleeve made from up to 60% recycled material.
Its multilayer structure guarantees perfect compatibility with bulks as only the outer layer is PCR, while the inner layer is still made from virgin material.
Because Alcan Packaging Beauty refuses to compromise on the quality of its recycled materials**, the PCR plastic tube has the same visual and technical qualities as every other items in our tube offering.
The PCR plastic tube is suited to a large choice of diameters, heads and caps, as well as all our printing techniques.
By giving plastic a new life, the PCR plastic tube helps to reduce our environmental impact and so supports our customers in their commitment to Sustainable Development.
