Cosmetics brands are using aluminum cans to aid sustainability efforts
Trend - Self-care products are being offered in aluminum cans to enhance sustainability. Often coupled with refillable designs, these cans reduce packaging costs and are nearly infinitely recyclable. Additionally, the resilience of aluminum packaging simplifies shipping and logistics systems.

Insight - The majority of consumer cosmetic products are packaged in bright plastic cases. Consumers in this space are accustomed to these designs. However, they are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of single-use plastics, and as a result, are now gravitating toward more sustainable solutions, such as refillable or recyclable packages. Brands in the self-care and beauty industries are recognizing the ever-increasing importance of sustainable packaging, and are turning to aluminum.
Workshop Question - How could your brand benefit from circular packaging materials, such as aluminum or paper?
