PCR Squeeze Tubes

Albéa’s PCR Squeeze Tube line showcases how post-consumer recycled materials can transform everyday packaging into a lower-impact, high-performance solution. At the forefront is the SlighT Cap PCR PP — a low-profile cap made with 70% post-consumer recycled polypropylene (PCR PP).

This innovation significantly reduces the environmental footprint of cosmetic tubes by replacing virgin resin with recycled content. Depending on the chosen sleeve, brands can achieve up to 60% PCR content in the complete tube, making it one of the most sustainable options available for skincare and cosmetic products.
