At Pharmapack from 21 to 22 January in Paris, tube manufacturer Neopac will be showcasing new solutions that have been developed to meet the requirements of the PPWR. These include ISCC+ certified tubes made from circular and bio-based materials.
One milestone is the newly developed PaperX FiberTop tube, which, according to the company, is the first tube whose body, shoulder and cap are made entirely from fibre-based material. With a fibre content of around 85%, the packaging is recyclable in the conventional paper cycle in accordance with the latest CEPI/4evergreen guidelines (2025) and reduces the use of fossil materials by up to 87% compared to conventional tubes.
The tube is made from FSC-certified, food-safe materials, has an EVOH barrier layer for product protection and is suitable for applications such as face and body care, hand cream, sunscreen or toothpaste. It also fulfils the visual requirements of modern brands: it can be individually printed, is embossing-resistant and has an appealing feel.
Monomaterial meets functionality
With the NeoDose Solo Airless Tube, Neopac is launching a fully recyclable monomaterial solution onto the market. The integrated MDO-PE-EVOH barrier protects sensitive formulations from oxygen and moisture. As a result, products remain stable, fresh and effective throughout their entire service life. The airless technology ensures precise and even dispensing. Each actuation of the PE-made pump dispenses a controlled amount of product, supports hygienic dispensing and reduces product loss until the last pumping operation.
With the UltraLite concept, Neopac is pursuing a minimalist design approach. The prototype tube has an extremely thin-walled construction with no shoulder area and a flat, integrated closure with a first-opening guarantee. The result: a drastically reduced use of materials - with high product safety and a modern look at the same time.
