We are pleased to announce the inclusion of recycled polymers in our dispensing pumps.

Our Linfa dispensing pump, from our Nautilus Spring Pump range, has been selected to be applied on a cosmetic Brand with ingredients of natural origin in combination with a bottle with recycled plastic at 50%.

We have selected a resin of 50% PIR and 50% PCR to guarantee excellent mechanical properties, color stability and life reliability of the Brand in combination with a significant carbon footprint reduction. Such benefits are on top of the metal-free pathway that the Nautilus Spring Pump range provides.

This proposal is the continuity of the Rieke-Taplast commitment for a responsible circular economy where the polymer will be recycled and reused many times. That means taking fast and radical actions to lead the business model where plastics will play a sustainable part.

We have already industrialized several other dispensers in PIR and PCR. The technical know-how requests a structured action starting from the product redesign to the mould and process implementation to new features and melt-index in order to guarantee long term reliability, consistency and repeatability.

This is in support of our Customer’s strategy to significantly reduce virgin plastic introduced in the environment by 2025.
