In color cosmetics packaging, the compact has always been one of the most representative categories.
It not only carries different formulas such as pressed powder, blush, and contour, but also plays an important role in brand visuals, user experience, and daily portability.

As the beauty industry continues to place greater emphasis on sustainable packaging, compact design is also evolving.
Sustainability is no longer limited to material replacement; it now involves a more holistic optimization of structure, usage, and recycling pathways.

Refillable, Recyclable, Lightweight: New Sustainable Directions for Compacts

Traditional Materials

Traditional compacts are usually made with a combination of multiple materials.
As different components are made from different materials, recycling and processing can be more difficult, which is not ideal for material circularity.

Optimized Upgrade

With continuous advances in material technology, compact components can now be made entirely from Mono PET or Mono PP, enabling a mono-material design.
This helps improve recyclability and supports the development of more sustainable packaging solutions.
