Daily chemical product packaging moves towards a new era of green sustainability

Nowadays, if you walk into a store or browse online shopping, you'll notice that the packaging of everyday chemical products like shampoo, laundry detergent, and skincare is quietly changing. "Sustainability" has become a key trend across the industry.

To reduce their environmental impact, major brands are investing in packaging innovation, focusing primarily on the following three areas:

Use of Eco-Friendly Materials

An increasing number of products are using PCR (post-consumer recycled plastic) in their bottles. This material is derived from recycled plastic bottles and other waste, effectively reducing the use of virgin plastic and the consumption of petroleum resources.

Some pioneering brands are also exploring bio-based materials, such as plastics made from plant-based materials like sugarcane and corn. Their renewable nature significantly reduces their carbon footprint.

Streamlining and Minimizing Design

Brands are optimizing their designs to reduce bottle weight and eliminate unnecessary packaging layers (such as removing plastic film), thereby reducing plastic consumption at the source.

Concentrated formulas, such as concentrated laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid, are becoming popular. A small bottle can hold a large amount of liquid, resulting in smaller packaging volume and less transportation energy.

Recycling Models

Refills or refills are becoming increasingly popular. After purchasing a full-size bottle, consumers can purchase simpler, less plastic-intensive refills, significantly reducing long-term packaging waste.

Some offline stores have also installed "refill stations" where customers can bring their own bottles for refilling, allowing the packaging to be reused and putting environmental protection into practice.

In short, daily chemical product packaging is no longer just about eye-catching appearance; it also represents a crucial manifestation of a brand's commitment to environmental protection and social responsibility. Green, low-carbon, and recyclable packaging is becoming a new consumer choice and driving the industry towards a more sustainable future.
