Linhardt are the winner of the GermanPackagingAward2023 in the category sustainability by Deutsches Verpackungsinstitut e. V. - and this twice! It shows - packaging protects laboriously produced goods and thus per se contributes to resource conservation.
Reduce, Replace, Recycle: Our TopTube unites the sustainability triad of material reduction, use of recyclate and recyclability. Here’s what makes our product outstanding: The mono PE tube’s shoulder takes up the function of the cap’s head plate. The specifically adapted shape of the shoulder makes an additional material reduction possible. The closure has a 73% lower carbon footprint* than a comparable standard fliptop closure. In combination with reduced wall thickness, the weight of a 200 ml TopTube is cut by almost half compared to a standard tube**.
* incl. HDPE, injection moulding and material transport
** Ø 50 x 160 mm: Top Tube (300 μm wall thickness): ~12.0 g vs. standard fliptop tube (500 μm): ~22.8 g
The development of the Mono Material Tube, LINHARDT, in collaboration with ALUPAK, shows that a well-designed packaging solution can do much more. By using recycled materials for the tube of the Mono Material solution, the need for CO2-intensive primary aluminum extraction is reduced, along with negative biodiversity-related environmental impacts. By combining our PCR aluminium tubes with minimalistic and functional aluminium closures, LINHARDT and Alupak take care of your sustainability goals.
Your benefits at a glance:
• 100% PCR aluminium tube with recyclable aluminium closure
(Contribution to a circular economy with >95% recyclability)
• Lower Scope 3 emissions (lower potential CO2 compensation costs)
• No toxic substances (BPA NI)
• Closure suitable for cylindrical and conical tubes
• Food-grade PCR material in tube
