Steba’s commitment to the research of materials with low environmental impact: today we want to introduce you to the PP airless bottles – recycled polypropylene which will soon be available in our catalog. In fact, Steba wants to encourage the ‘ conscious and sustainable use of plastic through its proper disposal and reuse.
The recycled PP airless bottles.
Steba has recently introduced airless bottles made of recycled PP into its offerings. Thus, after recycled PET, the company continues to pursue its goal of offering the indispensable advantages of plastics with a focus on environmental issues.
Let us then see the strengths of this new product by analyzing its two main features:
- the airless technology
- the recycled PP polypropylene
Airless technology
Translating from English,
airless
literally means
airless
. This is precisely the great plus of such technology: the ability to store, transport and dispense the internal, contained product without it coming into contact with theexternal environment.
In fact, airless bottles are equipped with a movable base that, by operating the dispensing pump, rises and pushes the fluid up, causing it to flow out of the hole.
In this way, the risk of:
- contaminations
- anticipated deterioration
- Undesirable chemical processes due to the presence of oxygen
Thanks to all these advantages the
airless bottles
are perfect for cosmetics as well as pharmaceutical and herbal products that require maximum hygiene and safety.
The only prerequisite is that the product must be creamy, viscous, and fluid in consistency.
Otherwise, the packaging cannot guarantee delivery, and another type of packaging will have to be aimed for.
For example:
- plastic bottles
- containers made of
aluminum
- packages in
glass
The recycled PP polypropylene
Technically, polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer derived from petroleum and invented around the 1950s.
PP is used in the production of so many items. For example,
@Valentina SantoroIn the world of packaging, it is definitely one of the best choices.
In fact, it is a material that allows us to store the product while complying with all mandatory hygiene protocols.
It also, like all other plastic materials, makes it easy to transport, store and maintain.
As mentioned, the one proposed by Steba for the new airless bottles is recycled PP.
As you can read in
this in-depth article
, the company’s intention is to create a catalog composed of bothvirgin plastic products and recycled plastic bottles.
This is because we are convinced that sustainability does not come through the absolute abolition of this material, but through its conscious use.
Plastics and sustainability: recycling is the key
Plastic’s lack of sustainability lies not in the material, but in its careless use. Recycling is the real key to making its production greener.
In fact, in itself, plastic has unquestionable advantages that allow us to have practical and manageable products on the one hand, and to comply with basic hygiene protocols on the other.
The damage wrought on the environment by plastics stems mainly from the lack of care taken by humans when disposing of them.
Steba has decided to raise awareness in this direction, and if you are interested in the topic, we recommend that you learn more by reading the article
