Packaging Innovations
Colep
Colep, an RAR Group company, has collaborated
with personal care product manufacturer
Henkel to create Light Weight Cans for
Syoss, Indola, Silhouette, Coiffeur and Rilken
hair styling brands. The thickness of the aerosol
cans are reduced by 22% using a double
reduction tin plate material that is harder yet
thinner, as well as a new seaming station.
The packaging solution uses less material,
energy and water, and is 18% lighter in
weight, Colep said. The Light Weight Can,
currently made in 400mL and 500mL sizes,
helps to meet Colep’s corporate sustainability
goals by saving up to 1,000 tons of carbon
dioxide per year, according to the company.
