Eco-Responsible Cosmetic Packaging: Embalforme Makes PCR Glass and Mono-Materials the Cornerstones of Sustainable Innovation

In a rapidly evolving cosmetics market where every brand seeks to combine excellence, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility, Embalforme stands out with a clear and ambitious commitment: to design packaging that is both beautiful and sustainable.
By integrating PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) glass and using mono-materials, the company is turning eco-design into an industrial reality—serving both the planet and the brands that want to make a difference.

RE – CYCLE

Glass: A Choice of Heart and Reason

For several years, Embalforme has made a deliberate choice to focus on glass — a noble, safe, and infinitely recyclable material.
Unlike other materials whose recycling can degrade their properties, glass retains all its qualities even after multiple cycles.

Each jar, bottle, or container designed by Embalforme can be recycled 100% and infinitely, thus contributing to a truly circular production model.

“Glass is a material of the future — timeless and virtuous. It combines beauty, safety, and durability without ever losing its value,” explains Embalforme’s technical management team.

On the company’s website, recyclable products are easily identifiable by a green tree icon, a simple marker designed to help brands make more responsible packaging choices. This symbol embodies Embalforme’s commitment to making sustainability visible, tangible, and accessible.

RE – USE

PCR Glass: The Intelligence of the Circular Loop

To go even further, Embalforme now incorporates up to 35% PCR glass into its production processes.
This glass, already recycled and collected from external recycling streams, is melted, purified, and reintroduced into glass furnaces before being shaped in Embalforme’s molds.

This approach is part of a real and measurable circular economy, where every jar and bottle becomes a link in a sustainable chain.

“Every gram of PCR glass used means a virgin resource preserved, energy saved, and CO₂ emissions reduced,” explains Embalforme’s sustainability department.

The company’s glass molds are designed to work seamlessly with both traditional and PCR glass, without compromising on quality, clarity, or mechanical strength.
This technical mastery enables Embalforme to deliver premium packaging solutions while minimizing environmental impact.

Innovation in the Service of Impact Reduction

Integrating PCR glass is more than a technical feat — it’s a production philosophy.
By reducing the use of virgin raw materials and optimizing energy consumption on its production lines, Embalforme significantly lowers its carbon footprint.

This long-term vision aims to protect the planet while supporting industrial performance and brand creativity.

“Reuse, Reduce, Recycle… these three words guide every step of our thinking and our investments,” says Embalforme’s general management team.

In a tightening regulatory context and amid growing consumer expectations, this strategy positions Embalforme as a strategic partner for brands seeking credible and traceable sustainable solutions.

RE – VEAL

Design in the Service of Sustainability

Environmental commitment and creativity go hand in hand. Embalforme demonstrates that it is possible to design packaging that is both aesthetic, responsible, and customizable.

The 100 ml PCR glass jars are a perfect example: they can be frosted, lacquered, or enhanced with screen printing, hot stamping, or pad printing.
This enables brands to express their visual identity while meeting their sustainability goals.

To complete the range, Embalforme also offers polypropylene (PP) lids, a recyclable mono-material that simplifies sorting and end-of-life processing.

And to boost its clients’ creativity, the company has developed an intuitive online configurator, allowing users to visualize, test, and customize packaging with just a few clicks.

“We wanted to make the creation of eco-responsible packaging as simple as it is inspiring. Our configurator bridges technical innovation and creative imagination.”

Toward a More Conscious Cosmetics Industry

Through these initiatives, Embalforme reaffirms its leadership in driving the ecological transition within the cosmetics sector.
By combining industrial expertise, material innovation, and responsible thinking, the company offers solutions aligned with today’s environmental challenges.

PCR glass, mono-material use, and recycling integration are becoming powerful levers for building a more conscious, circular, and sustainable cosmetics industry.

Because today, a beautiful packaging is not only judged by its design — but also by its impact on the planet.

In Conclusion

Embalforme doesn’t just follow the sustainability trend — it shapes it.
Through its innovations in PCR glass, its mono-material logic, and its commitment to reuse, the company offers brands the opportunity to combine aesthetics, performance, and sustainability.

Embalforme: the glass of today, designed for the world of tomorrow.
