Imagine if your packaging could be both smarter, more sustainable and economically sensible all at once. This is exactly what an airless refill system allows for. This packaging not only benefits the environment, but also helps companies better meet the new requirements of producer responsibility — while creating economic savings. The new Airless refill system is not just a fleeting trend, but a necessity for the packaging solutions of the future. Let us show you why this is not just a passing trend, but a definite necessity for the sustainable business.
Airless refill system is more than just a regular airless packaging. It is a well-thought-out solution that combines the smart features of airless packaging with the ability to recycle the outer container. Like airless packaging, the refill system protects against air, prolongs shelf life and reduces waste, while allowing parts of the packaging to be recycled.
The system typically consists of two primary components:
This innovative solution makes it possible to maintain the airtight function for which airless packaging is known, while reducing material consumption by replacing only the refill unit. So with this solution you both reduce packaging costs and ensure a positive environmental impact.
An airless refill system is a gamechanger when it comes to sustainability. Unlike traditional airless packaging, where the entire packaging is thrown out once the product is used, the outer container in the refill solution can be reused time after time. This means that you save not only on the materials, but also on the taxes associated with the weight and material complexity of the packaging. At the same time, the refill ampoule is made of one and the same material - that is, monomaterial and therefore can be recycled 1:1.
With producer responsibility, companies must pay taxes based on the volume and weight of the packaging they put on the market. An airless refill system significantly reduces packaging weight, as only the refill unit needs to be remanufactured and transported. This means lower costs for the company and a smaller climate footprint.
From 2025, all Danish companies will have to pay for the packaging they send into circulation. The heavier and more complex the packaging, the higher the tax will be. Airless refill systems significantly reduce weight and this means lower costs for businesses. Let's take a thought example:
If, for example, the tax for plastic packaging is DKK 4 per kilo, you save DKK 0.40 per unit. If the company puts 100,000 units on the market per year, it means a saving of DKK 40,000 annually - on charges alone. This is not counting transport costs, which also fall significantly due to smaller/lighter packaging - smaller packaging means cheaper transport and less CO₂ emissions.
Producer responsibility is about giving companies responsibility for the entire packaging lifecycle. From design to recycling. This means companies must report the amount and type of packaging they use and pay for collection and recycling.
By choosing an airless refill system, you get not only a lighter financial burden, but also a sustainable profile. Customers prioritize companies that take the environment seriously, so choosing recyclable packaging that reduces waste and CO₂ emissions is a future-proof strategy.
An airless refill system is a strategy for brands that want to lead the way in sustainability. With its lower weight and recyclable components, companies can significantly reduce their climate footprint while achieving financial savings.
