The Mono-Material Revolution in Pump Packaging
A major shift is underway in the beauty and personal care packaging industry. Leading brands are transitioning to mono-material pumps, marking a significant breakthrough in sustainable packaging innovation.
Traditional plastic pumps, with their metal springs and glass balls, are nearly impossible to recycle through conventional methods, often ending up in landfills unless manually disassembled—a task many avoid. Enter mono-material pumps: the 100% plastic solution that’s reshaping sustainable packaging.
Here’s why it’s a breakthrough:
No Disassembly Required: Fully recyclable pumps made entirely from polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP).
Durable & Reliable: Over 3,000 dispensing cycles.
Brand-Forward Design: Customize your pump’s color, shape, and branding for a unique identity. With standard neck finishes fitting various bottles, personalization is effortless.
Performance Characteristics:
User Experience: Consumer studies indicate that 76% of users prefer fully recyclable pumps, with many willing to pay more for sustainable options (Packaging World).
E-commerce Compatibility: Designed to withstand transport pressures, these pumps comply with Amazon's ISTA 6 protocol, reducing the need for excessive packaging materials.
Versatility: Mono-material pumps can accommodate a range of viscosities, making them suitable for various beauty and personal care products, including lotions and creams.
Join Industry Leaders in Sustainability
Leading brands are already making the switch to mono-material pumps.
Dermalogica has introduced mono-material pumps that enhance recyclability and support their goal of sustainable packaging by 2025.
Unilever (Vaseline) has introduced a recyclable pump for Intensive Care lotions, supporting its 2030 goal for 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable rigid plastic packaging.
Important Note on Recycling
Mono-material pumps are recyclable, but standard recycling programs may not accept them...yet. They should be recycled through specialized programs like Pact Collective. As adoption grows, we hope more facilities will accept them, promoting a sustainable future in beauty packaging.
