Topfeelpack Supports the Carbon Neutral Movement
Sustainable Development
"Environmental protection" is an unavoidable topic in the current society. Due to climate warming, sea level rise, glacier melting, heat waves and other phenomena are becoming more and more frequent. It is imminent for human beings to protect the earth's ecological environment.
On the one hand, China has clearly proposed the goal of "carbon peaking" in 2030 and "carbon neutrality" in 2060. On the other hand, Generation Z is increasingly advocating sustainable lifestyles. According to IResearch data, 62.2% of Generation Z will For daily skin care, they pay attention to their own needs, value functional ingredients, and have a strong sense of social responsibility. All this shows that low-carbon and environmentally friendly products have gradually become the next outlet in the beauty market.
Based on this, whether in the selection of raw materials or the improvement of packaging, more and more factories and brands incorporate sustainable development and carbon emission reduction into their planning.
"Zero Carbon" is Not Far Away
"Carbon neutrality" refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly produced by enterprises and products. Through afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction, etc., the carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions produced by themselves are offset to achieve positive and negative offsets. Relatively "zero emissions". Cosmetics companies generally focus on product R&D and design, raw material procurement, manufacturing and other links, carry out sustainable research and development, use renewable energy and other methods to achieve carbon neutrality goals.
Regardless of where factories and brands seek carbon neutrality, raw materials are a particularly important part of manufacturing. Topfeelpack has been committed to reducing plastic pollution by optimizing raw materials or reusing them. In recent years, most of the molds we have developed are Polypropylene(PP) injection molding parts, and the original irreplaceable packaging style should become a packaging with a removable inner cup/bottle.

Where Have We Made Efforts？
1. Material: It's generally considered Plastics #5 to be one of the safer plastics. The FDA has approved its use as a food container material, and there are no known cancer-causing effects associated with PP material. Except for some special skin care and makeup, PP material can be used in almost all cosmetic packaging. In comparison, if it is a hot runner mold, the production efficiency of molds with PP material are also very high. Of course, it also has certain disadvantages: it cannot make transparent colors and not easy to print complex graphics.
In this case, injection molding with a suitable solid color and a simple design style is also a good choice.
2. In the actual production process, it is inevitable that there will be unavoidable carbon emissions. In addition to supporting environmental activities and organizations, we've upgraded nearly all of our double wall packaging, like double wall airless bottles, double wall lotion bottles, and double wall cream jars, which now have a removable inner container. Reduce plastic emissions by 30% to 70% by guiding brands and consumers to use packaging as much as possible.
3. Research and develop the packaging of the glass outer packaging. When glass breaks down, it remains safe and stable, and releases no harmful chemicals into the soil. So even when glass isn't recycled, it does minimal harm to the environment. This move has already been implemented in large cosmetic groups and is expected to be popularized in the cosmetics industry soon.
