Gerresheimer and Medicos Beauty Group present a sustainable and easy-to-use clickable refill system for cosmetics
Gerresheimer AG, a leading global supplier of healthcare & beauty solutions and drug delivery systems for pharma, biotech and cosmetics and Medicos Beauty, a European-based cosmetics packaging designer and producer, are presenting the matching clickable elements for an environmental-friendly refill packaging system.
The refill system consists of the Gx-CyClic glass jar, the Re-CliCK click-in inner and a suitable cap. “With sustainability at the core of the design, in addition to the reuse aspect, the refill system is made of sustainable and recycled materials to save resources.” explains Nicola Balena, Global Vice President Cosmetics at Gerresheimer Moulded Glass. The glass jar is made of 40% post-consumer recycled (PCR) glass, while the inner is made of bio-based PP and the cap of R-PET, PET or PP. All materials are recyclable after use. Additionally, the glass jar is lightweight.
“Medicos and Gerresheimer, are two players who are recognized for their expertise in glass and refillable plastic jars made of sustainable materials. So it was only natural that we collaborated on this innovation that adds value to the consumer experience of our customer’s products” explains Cédric Marmonier, CEO at Medicos Group.
The clickable solution offers an easy and intuitive handling of the refill packs to the consumer. Through the click-in system of the inner, the consumer can effortless insert and remove the refill packs while they are safely locked to the glass jar. Thanks to the sophisticated click-in solution, the inner always stays in place during screwing and unscrewing of the cap.
Both Re-CliCK and Gx-CyClic, with 50 ml capacity, are available as part of Gerresheimer and Medicos standard offer. However, all parts of the refill pack can be completely customized as to the customers’ wishes. All components can be embellished with various decoration techniques. From printing, to spraying, to mattifying, there are no limits to creativity and designing an individualized masterpiece which fosters the customer’s brand identity.
