Challenges on becoming sustainable packaging

Recent innovative packaging developments have predominantly revolved around different aspects of sustainability, such as recyclability, biodegradability, compostability, refillability, reusability and the use of biosourced materials or raw materials derived from renewable resources. Beauty brands and packaging suppliers are increasingly embracing the challenge of designing packaging that is firstly safe, then secondly avoids reusing or recycling harmful materials. The complexity of creating and selecting the right packaging is to guarantee that it is optimised for human and environmental health and safety, while other parameters include but are not limited to: performance aspects, eco-friendly solutions, speed-to-market considerations and cost efficiencies. In a context where environmental challenges, performance, safety, and regulatory issues are intertwined, Eurofins has put in place a 3-step strategy to evaluate the safety of packaging coupled with testing under relevant conditions.
