Bormioli Luigi: The Italian glassmaker has created glass and wood lipstick packaging named Tango, crafted in collaboration with sustainable packaging innovators Minelli Group. Tango is made with an FSC-certified wooden base and glass cap, which is fully customizable in finish, color, stain, and functionality. The central ring of the product is made from bioplastic and features a removable clicking mechanism. Tango is refillable, designed to last, and look visually appealing while doing so. The packaging is assembled without glue, making it easily separable for full recycling.
Bormioli Luigi is also signed to the Stella McCartney skincare range, creating packaging for the Reset Cleanser, After-Care Serum, and Restore Cream. These products are recyclable and refillable, with pouches and caps made readily suitable for recycling streams, while the pump, bottle, and jars can be reused infinitely. The supplier’s manufactured jars and bottles, available in turnkey or customizable designs, are created from 15% recycled content. In 2023, the company has committed to boosting its eco-designs, hoping to offer packaging with as high as 40% recycled glass content.
Minelli: The Italian supplier that specializes in wooden components has revealed mPackting, a range of low-carbon packaging solutions, Minelli’s first creation tailored towards the beauty industry. The mPackting collection, named the Silva range, features the aforementioned Tango lipstick case, and skincare jars, lipsticks, compacts, and caps for perfume created in partnership with designer Thierry de Baschmakoff. The offerings are made of wood, cork, and mBlack, the supplier's proprietary material that is derived from wood chips and entirely biodegradable. All packaging options created as part of mPackting are fully recyclable and can be made with refillable elements that can be separated via a clicking mechanism to avoid the use of glue. To showcase how mPackting’s collection works, Minelli has partnered with Albéa to provide mascara and lipstick packaging, which is set to be released at the latter end of the year
