Pollution-reducing refill bottle packaging

The environmental pollution caused by packaging wastes, especially plastic packaging wastes, has increasingly attracted worldwide attention. Therefore, companies and research institutes at home and abroad have taken various measures to reduce or eradicate such packaging wastes for humans and ecology. The degree of harm and danger of the environment, in addition to fundamentally creating a "degradable" plastic material that is easy to return to the natural cycle, is also considered in terms of reusable and structural considerations. Refillable refillable bottles. This is a great way to spend less effort and effort than to use great efforts to improve the properties of materials, molding techniques and equipment. In countries represented by Japan, the development of such packaging structures is also included in the multi-dimensional study of so-called "environmentally friendly goods." 

In developing such refillable plastic packaging methods, a comprehensive balance of factors such as strength, function, barrier properties, production equipment, distribution, and price should be considered. Based on this, in the foreign countries, the scope of this type of packaging has been extended from simple food and hygiene products to the need to consider aesthetics as a major consideration in chemical packaging. The main packaging methods include transparent and filling bottles and cans made of PP and PET.

Japan's Pola Cosmetics CO Ltd launched a skin care product in this type of refillable bottle packaging in February last year and is known as a product and packaging that is beneficial to people and the global environment (“a skin care both to Skin and earth"). There are two main measures to be taken: one is the development and adoption of a natural-oriented cosmetic that does not use any spices or pigments, and thus is beneficial to human skin; second is the production of the company's six This type of packaging, from "face cleansers" to "perfume," uses irrigated containers that are adapted to the needs of the product, and achieves the goal of no waste thrown into the environment. The structure is a multiple reusable resin container called a "main bottle"; and a refillable thin-walled bottle container is installed therein and used to contain the packaged product. It is actually a material lined with PP (polypropylene) or PET (polyester). 

Refillable bottle packaging features

The wall thickness of a pot filled with lining can be extremely thin. For example, with a commonly used cream-type cosmetic, the thickness of the refilled bottle is only 03 mm, which is less than the same capacity. Conventional bottles and cans of plastic materials are used in half; currently, thinner cans are being further developed. 

2. When a packaged item (or filling) is used up, a replenishment type container that has used up the contents can simply be used for the container.

The white mouth is pulled out, and then the new, refillable thin bottle is placed in the "master bottle," and the contents of the package are then placed. 

3. Thin-wall refillable cans made of PP or PET material are actually a non-hazardous inner liner package when burned in the atmosphere; and the main hotttle is the outer package. "It can be reused many times like traditional glass jars, and it is not thrown back into nature as waste as conventional plastic bottles and cans." However, it is not easy to crush and the characteristics of raw materials and manufacturing costs are unmatched by other material containers. 

Estimates of consumer benefits

1) The effective period of use of the "main bottle cans" in the packaging form is at least 1 to 2 years. The productivity of the refilled thin-walled container products is based on this. Therefore, it can not only save the user's daily expenses, but also reduce the pollution of the waste to the environment. 

2) The price of products packaged in refillable liners will be cheaper in the long run than simply using disposable cans of the same capacity. As far as Japan is concerned, compared with its conventional containers, it is said that the average bottle price is 300 yen per bottle.
