Mono-material: Packaging with only one type of plastic does not require post-use disassembling, facilitating, and speeding up recycling.

Packaging with different materials

Each material offers various packaging characteristics, such as strength, impermeability, gas barrier, and light protection, and together they perform to preserve the product in the best possible way.

Challenge to change

Conventionally it is challenging to develop mono-material solutions to guarantee efficient product protection. Yet, SR Packaging manages to create mono-material packaging and keep the functionality.

The advantages of mono-material in recycling

Packaging with only one type of plastic does not require post-use disassembling, facilitating and speeding up recycling, aside from resulting in a better quality recycled resin suitable for more applications, which increases its added value and attracts the interest of the entire chain, from collectors to transformers.

Mono-material Airless Bottles

The recyclable, 2-layered extrusion blow molding airless bottles have the same material as the matching dispensing pumps or sprayers. Consumers can toss the empties into recycling bins without separating them.

And many more

Not just airless.

The PP dropper bottle, PE tube, PP tube, PET lipstick, PP lipstick, and aluminum lipstick are each of one single material for the entire packaging composition.
