The article "Sustainable Packaging for Cosmetics and Cleaning Products: Group Interview with rezemo, cosnova, and Eurofins" features an interview with various companies about their packaging materials and sustainability measures. Stefan Zender from rezemo explains that they only use fully plant-based materials, mainly wood fibers from sustainable forestry. Daniela Soukup from cosnova states that they primarily use plastics and glass, depending on the product group and packaging type. Both companies are working on making their packaging more sustainable by reducing materials and seeking recyclable options. However, there are technical challenges, especially when it comes to the use of applicators, which make complete recyclability difficult. The use of recycled packaging poses safety risks, particularly regarding substance migration. The companies emphasize the importance of fully plant-based materials and the establishment of recycling infrastructures. Natural materials such as paper, grass, cork, and wood are considered potential solutions, but there are also challenges in controlling ingredients. [Extracted from the article]
