Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited (KSDL), globally recognised for its iconic Mysore Sandal Soap, is set to expand its footprint with the addition of around 480 new distributors across India in 2025.

While they are designed to match the ‘sleek, luxurious look’ of glass packaging, the CRYSTELLE dip tubes are reportedly made of PFAS-free, food-grade, and shatterproof materials. Intending to combine the strength and convenience of plastic with the shelf appeal of glass, TekniPlex aims to prevent any tube breakage or product contamination while unlocking environmental benefits.

The amount of glass collected kept up with the significant increase in the amount of glass packaging placed on the market (+4.5%), indicating a positive trend in glass collection efforts across Europe.

This project has seen the creation of mono-material films that initially feature 30% PCR. The PCR content was supplied by Ecoplast, a member of the Borealis Group. Borealis is one of the world’s leading providers of advanced and sustainable polyolefin solutions. The polymers were in turn extruded by Korozo into mono-material constructions for Henkel’s laundry detergents, such as Persil. Printing and converting of the packaging were carried out by Korozo on its high-end presses and pouchmaking lines. Products sold in these packs are already on shelves in Central Eastern Europe.
