Packaging is a central aspect of product development and the way we think about waste in our beauty ecosystem. We are constantly improving, seeking scientific advances in materials and methods. Furthermore, packaging is a fundamental part of the search for more sustainable products.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ecodesign and sustainable materials<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Ecodesign is a concept that considers environmental aspects when developing a new product, considering not only the use of non-renewable resources but also the minimization of environmental impact throughout its life cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, the objective of ecodesign is to reduce waste generation and save costs and impact on final disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, at Botic\u00e1rio Group, we work to reduce packaging waste as much as possible, always looking for solutions that reduce the environmental impact of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, in R&D, we have the Design and Prototyping area that works by listening to the needs of our consumers, translating marketing desires and market needs into packaging and products.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We integrate three work fronts into a very fluid creation process, in which we start with research and search for inspiration, generating insights and content based on trends and DSGN Experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After so much inspiration, we work based on DSGN Concept for the conceptualization and creation of products in original packaging, through Graphic Design, Product Design and Prototyping, working hard and bringing other people from the Group to co-create with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this process is always consumer-centered and uses agile methodologies.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To complete this entire process, we conduct all the technical finalization of the packaging in DSGN Graphic, adding all the necessary information to the product and preparing the digital files to follow the process through our partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduction of packaging waste<\/strong><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A SINGLE MATERIAL:<\/strong> These are products that had all packaging components produced with the same material, except for the secondary packaging. As there is no mixing of raw materials, during the recycling process the step of separating the parts is eliminated (which happens when there is a glass component and a plastic component in the same product, or plastic and paper, etc.).
This way, all components can be crushed at once, speeding up the process and reducing operation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metallized effects on paper, which initially came from lamination with BOPP plastic films, were replaced by the COLDFOIL and\u00a0FILMELESS<\/strong>\u00a0technique. This change allowed us to maintain the premium metallic effect of the cases without mixing paper and plastic materials, achieving a monomaterial result.

Monomaterial lipstick<\/p><\/p>\r\n

Bullet lipstick packaging comes in a tube with a rotating base and usually has four types of resin in its composition. Depending on its degree of hardness, it cannot be completely recycled. The packaging is now produced exclusively with Polypropylene (PP), the only type of resin that does not have metallic components, thus allowing total reuse. Furthermore, there is no need to separate the components (a procedure that was previously carried out so that part of the packaging could be recycled).<\/p><\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

RECYCLED SURLYN<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Botic\u00e1rio Group has developed an unprecedented process in Latin America for recycling perfume caps produced with Surlyn, an ionomer resin manufactured by Dow. Due to its great complexity, this raw material, despite being recyclable in other categories, had not been viable in the cosmetics sector. With the technology developed in partnership with Wise, Aptar and Dow, the caps can be collected after consumption, separated by recycling cooperatives and transformed into resin again (Surlyn PCR), and finally, reincorporated into new caps of new products available for the consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the recycling of collected caps from our factories and reverse logistics programs in Botic\u00e1rio Group, we reincorporated around 3 tons of recycled material, avoiding the use of 3 tons of virgin Surlyn. As a result, we saved BRL 250 thousand for developing the process that allows the material to be recycled, in addition to reducing the footprint by 10% compared to the virgin Surlyn process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RECYCLED GLASS<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We preferably choose to use recycled glass obtained from our packaging waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malbec Club Intenso bottles are produced with 35% post-consumer recycled glass (PCR) and 10% waste from glass production. This means that, every year, more than 180 tons of glass are reused, which is equivalent to more than 700 thousand bottles of Malbec. In 2019, this innovation gave us ABRE\u2019s gold award in the sustainability category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewable source material<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Plant-based plastic or green plastic is polyethylene produced from sugar cane ethanol. In addition to being of renewable origin, it is 100% recyclable and does not contribute to global warming, as it captures and fixes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And it has the same characteristics of traditional polyethylene. Cuide-se Bem<\/em> line packaging is made from sugar cane material and prevents the emission of approximately three thousand tons of CO2<\/sub> per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recyclable label<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The bottle labeling process produces waste (liner) that is not recyclable, but we seek to replace it with a liner made from 100% recyclable PET material in our production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
