Sustainability - Import export

With today’s consumers becoming ever more eco-conscious and focused on recycling, beauty packaging made from a single material family is an increasingly favourable option. The multi-material construction of many traditional beauty containers can prove an obstacle to recycling; especially when disassembling the pack by hand is impractical for consumers. Manufactured in HCP Germany and composed entirely of the PP/PE material family, HCP’s stock ‘14mm Jumbo Cylindrical Tall Mascara’ is a mono-material packaging solution that is ready for single-stream recycling. For an extra boost, the ‘UNO’ collection also incorporates recycled materials. The fibre and moulded mascara brushes are manufactured in bio-based materials for a planet-friendly application solution.

A new skincare and complexion stock item, optimised for the age of sustainability: pocket-sized and planet-friendly. The EcoHero 10ml Tottle is available in a variety of single, double or triple layered material mixes to best suit the formula. Incorporate PCR materials for a significant reduction in plastic, lead the way in the beauty packaging green revolution and opt for HCP’s zero-plastic, bio-based material EcoWood. The EcoHero 10ml Tottle is certainly mini in size, but mighty in nature!

Combine high-performance lash results & revolutionary eco-credentials... Showcased in the SS21 eco-trend collection ‘Hush’, the stock 13mm Standard Waterproof Mascara perfectly demonstrates that packaging can be both beautiful and sustainable. The white cap is moulded in 100% R-ABS with light grey 'drizzle' decoration and the black bottle (OFC: 12.7ml) is presented in 100% R-PET; a significant reduction in the amount of virgin material used to manufacture this item. The innovative Feather Comb applicator is the outstanding revolution of this item: precision moulded in black EcoWood, the raw bio-based material is completely plastic-free, carbon neutral and exclusive to HCP. The comb-style brush has widely spaced bristles to achieve excellent separation and lengthening results, while the feather-shaped profile has a tapered tip to groom brows or reach inner and outer corner lashes.

Get green & gorgeous with HCP. With a focus on developing primary beauty packaging that optimises the opportunity to reduce, reuse and recycle, the HCP-Eco team are continuously exploring cutting-edge options such as bio-materials, as well as identifying how the rapidly evolving beauty landscape should inform design and development programs.
