“In our CSR strategy, the reduction of the CO2 impact of our products is one of our main commitments, and we want to address it with innovations that make a real difference”, said David Bayard, R&D packaging director at L’Occitane. “Weight reduction and recyclability were therefore at the heart of this project and led us to simplify the tube as much as possible without compromising on esthetics and functionality. On the contrary, the OctoTop improves the tube’s functionality for our customers.”

The transition reportedly enables recyclability of the packaging while reducing the overall number of materials from five to two, the overall components from three to two, and the weight of the tube by 23%, compared to the ABL version.

Julian Waldron, general manager of Albéa said, “Today more than ever, the challenge is to move to a circular economic model and to help our clients do the same. This requires a systematic approach across our entire value chain - how we innovate, how we work with our supply chain, how we manufacture. Ensuring Albéa’s sustainability means rethinking our company. That’s why CSR is integrated into all our operations and our decisions—and driven by every one of our employees.”
