At the 24th edition of Luxe Pack Monaco, held October 19- 21, the Eastman Natura Chronos product won the 2011 Luxe Pack in Green award.
This Glass Polymer cosmetic jar comprises 45% renewable organic material. It dries 25% faster than traditional co polyesters and processes at 20% lower temperatures, resulting in less energy usage and faster production times.
The Glass Polymer has brilliant clarity, dimensional stability and a luxurious tactile feel, which Natura wanted for its reusable Chronos container. Like its predecessor in the Chronos line, the Passiflora creams are offered in refill packs that easily snap into the Chronos bottomless pot. The solid click of The Glass Polymer ensures the refill cup is firmly embedded, reinforcing the quality image of the Natura brand.
The refill system reduces the amount of resin used and the packaging material required, while also reducing environmental impact of the manufacturing process. And The Glass Polymer, a recyclable material, appeals to Natura’s ever growing eco-conscious customer base.
The jury has also awarded a special mention to the Lumson Tag System (Techno Airless Glass system).
This cosmetic packaging, created by Lumson for the Ringana brand, combines the technical and functional advantages of an airless system, but also enables recycling thanks to Lumson’s Eco-Lock system – a multi-functional component. After use, the consumer simply unscrews the pump to separate all the plastic components from the glass bottle. Once the glass has been separated from the plastic components the final user can send the bottle, already clean because it was never in touch with the product, back to Ringama, which sends it back to Lumson for reuse in the manufacture of a new airless pack.
