Monomaterial Pouches from P&G’s Pantene Japan Refill Durable Aluminum Bottle

In another entry into the refillable packaging systems category, P&G’s Pantene Japan asks consumers to refill aluminum bottles with product packaged in a PE/PE flexible pouch.

P&g Pantane

In Japan, popular P&G haircare brand Pantene is taking an on-trend route to an improved sustainability profile with a lightweight, beautifully decorated aluminum bottle that’s reusable after its contents have been emptied.The bottle is meant to be refilled with shampoo or conditioner via recyclable pouches, with flexible packaging supplier Zacros providing a unique, monolayer polyethylene solution.

The Pantene stand-up pouch, which Zacros describes as “Japan’s first ever monomaterial refill pouch,” is a PE/PE adhesive lamination where the adhesive provides barrier yet does not interfere with the PE recycle stream. The idea here, of course, is for the consumer to pour the contents into a reusable rigid container and then dispose of the pouch in the PE recycle stream.
