The design eliminates the use of metal hinges and pins seen in conventional designs, thereby boosting the compacts' recyclability.

The format is also refillable, allowing for easy replenishment, per the companies.

“We are excited to have collaborated with ICONS|ICS on this innovative project,” said Tara Cary, global cosmetics and personal care packaging manager at Eastman. “The integration of design and materials expertise allowed us to create a game-changing solution that addresses the growing consumer demand for recycled content and recyclability in packaging in a refillable application they can reuse again and again.”
