New cosmetics tube from recycled materials

Cosmetic tubes are going ecco. Manufacturers from around europe are starting to introduce Cometic tubes from recycled materials.

Green materials have been hitting packaging headlines in recent years but the industry has yet to truly embrace them because of functional or aesthetic defaults.

How ever a company in Russia seams to have found a soloution.

Alcan Packaging Beauty claims to have developed a plastic tube made with recycled materials that makes no compromises on quality.

Whilst this is good news for the for the planet don't get over come with joy just yet. In the short term, especially in the current ecconomic slow down, the focus is going to be on getting products out cheaper. Producing the tubes from recycled materials has allways been expensive thus less demand. In the longer term though companies like Alcan Packaging will be able to jump ahead of competitors when we finally come out of the slow down and people start wanting to do there bit to saving the planet. Inaddition as global worming becomes more of an issue with governments the usuall incentives that come with this will encourange a whole lot more manufacturers follow this route.
