This is about to change! In line with its packaging targets and commitment to avoid plastic waste, Henkel will convert its entire oral care tube portfolio to fully recyclable tubes produced by its packaging supplier Alb\u00e9a. The transition, to be concluded across all its oral care brands beginning of next year, will be pioneered by the Spanish toothpaste brand Licor del Polo.<\/p>\n<p>To advance the sustainability features of its toothpaste tubes, Henkel uses Alb\u00e9a\u2019s proprietary Greenleaf tube technology, which enables the packaging to be fully recyclable wherever collection schemes are active. Greenleaf tubes are recognized by the Association of Plastic Recylers (USA) and Suez.Circpack (Europe) as technically recyclable within the existing, effective HDPE bottles recycling stream. What\u2019s more, the unique tube-making technology uses a single-blown film, thus significantly reducing the product\u2019s CO2 footprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to foster a circular economy and pursue ambitious packaging targets. This joint development is a major step for us to further improve the recyclability of our packaging portfolio and is contributing significantly to our goal to achieve 100 percent recyclability until 2025,\u201d said Philippe Blank, Head of Packaging Sustainability at Henkel Beauty Care. \u201cBy introducing Alb\u00e9a\u2019s Greenleaf technology, we are now shifting more than 700 tons of packaging material per year into a category, that can be utilized and recovered by existing waste recycling streams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happi.com\/contents\/view_breaking-news\/2020-07-22\/henkels-oral-care-tubes-to-be-fully-recyclable-by-2021\/\">Happi<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While toothpaste tubes are being used by millions of consumers every day, not many may know that today\u2019s classical tubes couldn\u2019t be recycled so far&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18573,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31],"tags":[1199,5494,398],"class_list":["post-18571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmental-news-en","tag-henkel","tag-oral-care","tag-recycling","wpcat-31-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/toothpaste-3067569_1280.jpg?fit=100%2C100&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18571"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18574,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18571\/revisions\/18574"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
