A collaborative R&D program aiming at replacing plastic of cosmetics packaging by cellulosic fiber
A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE A COMMON GOAL
«
We aim to develop a packaging solution based on cellulosic fibers, that can be deployed on an industrial scale and that meets the requirements of cosmetic products in terms of quality of use, barrier properties and preservation of formulas (restitution rate, water resistance, formula stability, etc.)
