Stora Enso develops paperboard tube for cosmetics

From:Packaging News

Stora Enso has launched a paperboard tube for cosmetics packaging as a new, climate-friendly alternative to plastic tubes.

The body of the tube is made from a barrier-coated, grease-resistant paperboard, making it suitable for the primary packaging of skin creams, reducing the use of plastic by 70% compared with a plastic tube.

Stora Enso is also developing biocomposite materials to replace the plastic cap and shoulder of the tube in the future.

Henna Paakkonen-Alvim, vice president, innovation, Stora Enso Consumer Board division, said: “We are seeing increasing demand in the cosmetics field for new innovative solutions made of renewable materials. This tube is a good example of how, together with our customers and their suppliers, we are driving innovations to create the packaging of the future. The paperboard tube will offer cosmetics brands who want to appeal to eco-conscious consumers a competitive new alternative.”
