How can cosmetic packaging embrace sustainability while maintaining high quality? Topfeelpack has the answer with the launch of its innovative, biodegradable Calcium Carbonate Cream Jar packaging.
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is a compound made up of calcium, carbon, and three oxygen atoms. Found in abundance in natural materials such as limestone, marble, chalk, eggshells, bivalve shells, and coral, CaCO3 is a readily available resource. Its useage is widespread across various industries. In cosmetic packaging, it serves as more than just a filler—it’s a strategic choice that enhances both performance and sustainability.
Benefits of Calcium Carbonate Packaging
In the production of cosmetic packaging, calcium carbonate mainly plays the role of a material additive, however it offers a number of key benefits.
- Enhanced Durability
Improves the hardness and impact resistance of the packaging, ensuring products remain secure. - Increased Air Resistance
Helps preserve product freshness by enhancing barrier properties. - Improved Printability
Provides a better surface for labeling and printing, enhancing product aesthetics. - Eco-friendly Degradation
When combined with photosensitizers, CaCO3 accelerates plastic degradation, reducing environmental impact.
Topfeelpack has incorporated calcium carbonate in to a number of its beauty products to enhance both the properties of the pack as well as its eco-friendly credentials.
PJ87 Cream Jar
Manufactured with 50% calcium carbonate + 50% PP, this eco-friendly cosmetic jar is also eco-friendlier to manufacture as significant energy savings can be achieved during production, as well as lower greenhouse gas emissions.
PJ88 Cream Jar
The 50% Calcium Carbonate + 50% PETG material in this cream jar results in a very natural white color, thanks to the CaC03, thus reducing the requirement for additional color. The material combination also results in a pleasant tactile experience for the user.
PJ91 Cream Jar
Manufactured with 55% calcium carbonate + 45% PP, the PJ91 cream jar also benefits from the aforementioned qualities. Following use, the PP material of the jar can still go on to be recycled through mechanical (PCR) recycling facilities.
PJ93 Cream Jar
With an impressive 70% calcium carbonate + 30% PP, this eco-friendly cosmetic jar offers a unique solution for brands looking to reduce their environmental impact while delivering high-quality, durable packaging for creams and skincare products. It is ideal for packaging moisturizers, body creams, and other skincare solutions. PJ93 is offered in capacities of 30g, 50g and 100g. (View PJ93 product specifications)
Beyond the immediate benefits of using calcium carbonate, Topfeelpack’s innovation supports larger sustainability goals, including the reduction of plastic waste and the promotion of a circular economy. By using a material that is more easily degradable and recyclable, the company is aligning itself with global efforts to tackle the growing plastic pollution crisis.
