Cosmetic PET jars - Mono material

Eco friendly cosmetic jar

As a sustainable alternative for cosmetic jars made of acrylic materials Frapak developed a 100% double walled cosmetic PET jar Trento named after the greenest city in Italy.

The 50 ml Trento jar can be produced in both virgin as recycled PET (rPET) and is now commercially available from Europe.

100% Completely (r)PET jar

Both inner- and outer jar and the closure have been made from PET and therefore this crème jar can be classified as mono-material.

Compared to existing jars made from SAN, PMMA, SMMA or other acrylic raw materials the Trento jar can be identified as PET and therefore sorted to the PET fraction in the recycling stream.
