Airless packaging solution

Aptar Beauty and Pinard Beauty Pack launch Future Airless PET®

Crystal Lake, IL, United States

Aptar Beauty and Pinard Beauty Pack are proud to reveal Future Airless PET®, the first airless packaging solution, available in a large size, that is both fully recyclable and omnichannel. The full recyclability is obtained through the combination of Aptar’s Future PE pump and the patented Airless PET bottle-in-bottle by Pinard.

A joint development by Aptar Beauty and Pinard Beauty Pack, it unites the two companies’ respective strengths in airless dispensing systems and plastic bottles. The result is a modern packaging solution for personal cleansing, body, hair and sun care products.

Madalina Dragan, Marketing Director Personal Care EMEA at Aptar Beauty, explains “This partnership was born from shared values: the drive to innovate, the demand for high performance and the pursuit of sustainability. Both companies have a track record in product excellence and hold the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, so there was a strong synergy in our collaboration. Future Airless PET reflects our strengths and our values.”

Aptar’s award-winning Future pump is mono-material PE, fully recyclable** and omnichannel capable*. The actuator is optimized for ecommerce, with a locking/unlocking ring and 360-degree, free-spinning actuator, which helps minimize potential breakage during transportation.

“When our first airless PET prototype was released, we quickly realized that this innovation would benefit from a reliable and sustainably designed pump, in order to offer a complete, robust and successful airless solution. With Aptar and its Future pump, we found the ideal partner to meet market expectations by providing an end- to-end, eco-designed solution.” said Paulo Coelho, Plant Director at Pinard.

Pinard’s patented airless PET bottle-in-bottle technology is deployed to create a flexible bottle within a rigid outer container. This new bottle provides all the benefits of an airless packaging solution: formula protection, good compatibility with cosmetic formulas, a high restitution rate and usage at any angle. The full package is also e-commerce capable* as it passed the rigorous Amazon ISTA-6 protocol. The PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle and PE pump are also available with PCR (post-consumer recycled) material for greater sustainability.
