The newly designed tubes, with a standout color palette and matte finish, blend modern aesthetics with conscious consumerism. The reimagined packaging proves that going green doesn't mean compromising visual appeal. Indeed, Acure’s partnership with ICONS|America has led to an environmentally responsible tube that is not only visually striking, but also easily recyclable.
These mono-material tubes are a nod to the future of sustainable packaging in the beauty industry. Made with Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) PP, the mono-material tubes comply with the APR and Recyclass recycling guidelines.
ICONS|America, with its commitment to driving the sustainable packaging revolution forward, is at the edge of innovative technology. The use of IML technology, coupled with a commitment to domestic production, not only reduces the carbon footprint, but also reduces shipping costs for North American locations.
ICONS|America’s manufacturing facility, located near Charlotte, North Carolina, currently specializes in the production of injection-molded IML tubes and closures. The company is set to expand its portfolio with innovative designs for tubes, caps, bottles, and jars, showcasing its commitment to creativity and growth.
Julia Brennan, vice president of operations at Acure, says, "Sustainable packaging and ease of recycling for our consumers has been a key pillar in Acure’s goals since inception. Partnering with ICONS|America has been an excellent platform for us to push boundaries towards a more sustainable future.”
