Unilever To Launch Recyclable Toothpaste Tubes Unilever has announced it is to convert its entire global toothpaste portfolio to recyclable tubes by 2025. This comes on the heels of GSK’s announcement of launch- ing recyclable tubes for its Sensodyne andAquafresh brands. After four years of development, the recyclable tubes will be available later this year in two of Unilever’s biggest oral care markets: France and India. First launching in France with Signal, the new tubes will be rolled out across its biggest range, Integral 8, which rep- resents more than a third (35 percent) of Unilever’s tooth- paste portfolio in the country. Traditionally, most toothpaste tubes are made from a com- bination of plastic and aluminium, which gives the packag- ing its flexibility but also makes it difficult to recycle. Instead of aluminium, the new tubes will use a material made mostly of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Unilever said it will also be the thinnest plastic material available on the toothpaste market at 220-microns, which will reduce the amount of plastic needed for each tube. To encourage wider industry change, the innovation will be made available for other companies to adopt. The design has been approved by RecyClass, which sets the recyclability standard for Europe, as well as laborato- ries in Asia and North America. Meeting these requirements mean the new tubes can be recycled within standard HDPE recycling streams.
