As a cosmetic packaging supplier, Topfeelpack are long-term optimistic about the development trend of refill packaging of cosmetic. This is a large-scale industry revolution and a triumphant performance of new product iterations. Years ago, when the factory upgraded innersprings to outersprings, it was as loud as it is now. Formulating without contamination remains a key focus for brands to this day. Not only filling plants are constantly putting forward more environmental protection requirements, but packaging suppliers are actively responding. Here are some general advice and considerations for brands when it comes to refill packaging.
Firstly, refill packaging can be a great way to reduce waste and promote sustainability. By offering customers the option to refill their existing packaging, brands can help reduce the amount of single-use packaging that ends up in landfills or oceans. This can be particularly important for beauty products, which often come in plastic containers that can take hundreds of years to decompose.
When it comes to choosing refill packaging, brands should consider several factors, including the durability and recyclability of the material, the ease of use for customers, and the overall cost-effectiveness of the solution. Glass container or aluminum containers can be a good option for refill cosmetic packaging, as they are more durable and easier to recycle than plastic. However, they can be more expensive to produce and transport, so brands may need to consider the trade-offs between cost and sustainability.
Having said that, if plastic can be reused, it is also on the road to sustainable development. The vast majority of plastics can replace the inner container of cosmetic packaging, usually with more environmentally friendly, recyclable or lighter materials. For example, Topfeelpack usually uses FDA-grade PP material to manufacture inner jar, inner bottle, inner plug, etc. This material has a very mature recycling system in the world. After recycling, it will return as PCR-PP, or it will be put into other industries for recycling produce again.
The specific types and designs can vary depending on the brand and manufacturer. In addition to glass refill cosmetic container aluminum refillable packaging, and plastic refillable cosmetic packaging, the following common examples are refill pacakging classified from the airless closures.

Push-button airless bottles: These bottles have a push-button mechanism that releases the product when pressed, and they are designed to be refilled by removing the pump and filling from the bottom.
Roll-on airless bottles: These bottles have a roll-on applicator that makes it easy to apply products like serums and oils directly to the skin, and they are also designed to be refillable.
