A collaborative R&D program aimed at replacing plastic in cosmetic product packaging with cellulose fibers.
A COLLABORATION PROGRAM AIMED AT ACHIEVING A COMMON GOAL
«
Our objective is to develop a cellulose fiber-based packaging solution, deployable on an industrial scale and meeting the requirements of cosmetic products in terms of user experience, barrier properties, and formula preservation (pick-up rate, water resistance, formula stability, etc.).

SUPPORTED BY NUMEROUS SPONSORS FROM THE COSMETICS INDUSTRY
OUR ACTIONS
OPTIMIZATION

INNOVATION
Address concrete issues: identify, select, and rapidly implement pilot projects to test solutions.
COLLABORATION
Foster collaborations between cosmetics industry leaders and innovative players to accelerate the eco-design process.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Fiber-based substrates, coatings, green chemistry, biopolymers, industrial equipment, innovative processes... and any other solution that enables the (re)thinking of cosmetic packaging and the functionalization of cellulose fibers.
WHY IS JOINING THE COSMETICS PROGRAM IMPORTANT?
5%
of plastic packaging comes from the cosmetics industry.
(in France)
