In the cosmetics sector, for instance, there is a shower oil made by “Manava“ with honey and argan oil in a PET bottle with a content of 250ml. The trans- parent bottle is closed by means of a snap-on 2-colour hinged cap. The proportion of recycled PET is 25%. Two non-label-look labels transmit the retail information and give an unre- stricted view of the honey-coloured product. www.marquerepere.com Body oil with vanilla 150ml of body oil complete with Monoi oil and vanilla additives to pamper the skin is being packed by the French company Interlac Laboratoires under the brand name ”Soleil des Iles“ in a PET bottle tinted in a bronze to brownish shade.

The packaging is made from 100% recycled PET and is optimised in terms of both form and function. One example of this is the high- stability bottle for 532ml wash- ing up liquid for use when washing up by hand. The greenish, shimmer- ing concentrate with its aroma of cucumber harnesses the cleansing power of natural substances. The pump dispenser, which is activated by turning, is of adequate size, easy to operate and is secured by means of a sleeve hood prior to initial opening. www.methodhome.com
