Recyclable and lockable Future Disc Top closure for beauty packaging
Aptar Closures recently introduced to the market is Future Disc Top, a fully recyclable* closure that was also made to withstand the rough e-commerce journey to provide peace of mind to brands and consumers.
Intended for the beauty and personal care categories, Future Disc Top is claimed to stand out on several fronts. Made entirely from polyethylene (PE) it allows brand owners to deliver more recyclable packaging for a wide range of products. This is the first of its kind in the market, helping to solve the problem of mixed-materials packaging, where only the container itself can be recycled. To ensure full recyclability, Future Disc Top should be paired with a suitable PE or PET bottle. Notably, a version made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) content is also available, helping brands deliver on their sustainability promises.
In addition to its more sustainable design, Future Disc Top was made to deliver on the quality, safety, and aesthetics desired by brand owners. With numerous colour variations to choose from, the new closure has been designed to suit a variety of brand looks, while the integrity of the construction guarantees a strong, smooth and durable closure and locking mechanism, says Aptar.
Furthermore, Future Disc Topis Amazon ISTA-6 compliant and well suited for e-commerce shipping. It features an integrated locking/unlocking ring that firmly secures the contents of the bottle while facing the rigors of the e-commerce supply chain all the way to the consumers doorsteps. This ensures consumers will receive their order intact and ready to be used, without the need for excessive tertiary packaging such as shrink sleeves and bubble wrapping, while also avoiding the increasing amount of returns due to packaging fails and product leaks.
Future Disc Top has proven its value proposition in terms of recyclability by receiving Class A rating from the EU’s RecyClass sustainability validation organisation and certification from Cyclos-HTP, the Institute for Recyclability and Product Responsibility in Europe. It joins the multi-award-winning Future Lotion Pump, which is also fully-recyclable and e-commerce-capable, in the rapidly expanding category of practical and sustainable Future solutions designed with the health of the planet and its people in mind.
