Plastic-free packaging consists of environmentally friendly packaging without the use of plastic. They are very popular because they contribute in a serious way to the reduction of the plastic in circulation and consequently of its disposal, with a considerable saving in terms of costs.
Albogroup is a manufacturer of soap and cosmetics for hotels: it offers innovative and modern collections of cosmetic products for hotels and services of customization and production for third parties in order to better meet the multiple needs of the market. The company produces innovative solid cosmetics with plastic-free packaging, highly sustainable and environmentally friendly products, also for the Hotel sector.
Solid cosmetics are cosmetics that are presented in a solid, that is, compact form, and for this reason they can be placed in packaging of paper or cardboard or other eco-sustainable materials (e.g. aluminum). The solution of the packaging in paper or cardboard, especially if coming from certified productions, is however the most economical and eco-sustainable solution, because it is completely recyclable.
Formulas of the firm cosmetics do not contain water. The natural ingredients, including the enrichments and extracts, give a final appearance similar to that of a bar of soap.
Thanks to the absence of water, solid cosmetics do not contain aggressive preservatives and are therefore more gentle on the skin and hair.
The formulation varies according to the type of solid cosmetic, but most of them have ingredients of natural origin, vegan, are not tested on animals, and are dermatologically tested.
Thanks to specialized production lines, Albogroup produces solid cosmetic products of the highest quality, formulated with the best ingredients and enriched with natural and organic extracts specific for every type of skin and hair. They are products born from decades of experience in the direct production of cosmetics, now also available for the Hotel sector thanks to specific lines of Hotel Amenties in solid, sustainable, plastic-free, attractive and modern.
In the future, the market of solid cosmetics will be increasingly present, with exponential growth, thanks to the increasing attention that the final consumer shows towards truly eco-sustainable products, without sacrificing quality performance. Albogroup for years has understood the importance of proposing also for the Hotel sector this type of solid products for cleansing the body and hair and offers its customers the possibility of creating or customizing their lines with third party services in able to satisfy any request. In fact, more and more companies, including important brands, are turning to Albogroup for the production on a third party of their solid cosmetic lines, especially Shampoos, Balms, Body Wash and Shower Baths.
The cosmetics industry is in fact one of the industries most attentive to research and technological innovation, always ready to respond to the challenges of the planet and the problems of the most demanding consumers. Cosmetics also thrives on novelties and today solid cosmetic products truly represent a new path, even for the hotel amenities sector.
It should also be remembered that solid cosmetics last longer, as they use less amount of product; they are zero-waste and are easy to carry, unlike conventional plastic or glass containers. It is a real saving also in economic terms and for this reason also many hotel chains are introducing this type of products for their hotel amenities.

Packaging packs of Cardboard
In addition to aluminium, carton board can also be used to produce optimal packaging for plastic-free cosmetics. This material has long been known as one of the most economical and sustainable: it can still be used with extreme ease and has a low impact on the environment. Although carton board has a lower life cycle than the other materials mentioned above, its strong point is recyclability.
Packaging packs of Aluminium
Aluminium is an excellent packaging, as it can cover and guarantee a high safety to the product. In addition, it can act as packaging by itself, without the need to add another secondary one: this can lead to the production of little waste and zero waste.
Bioplastics or vegetable plastics
Although a material is recyclable it is not said that it is also sustainable. The two concepts are in fact quite different and often do not match; for this you need to pay attention to the cosmetics you buy.
If, for example, you buy a product in recyclable packaging, the raw materials of which have been sourced from natural sources, this does not mean that cosmetics are both sustainable.
The plastic was invented in 1965 in order to prevent many trees from being cut down due to the increased use of paper of that period, and therefore the consequent and constant felling of trees. Such material was among the first choices as seen as sustainable and could be reused. Later, the tetrapack was made, which was less polluting than plastics.
We are still looking for solutions to create packaging and protect cosmetics without any plastic and that are completely sustainable, so that they have a minimal if not zero impact on the environment. Currently 99% of the packaging in the cosmetic industry uses plastic material. To achieve the next step towards sustainability, we recommend the use of recycled PET plastics, a material obtained from the recycling of plastics.
There are some examples that are particularly useful for understanding what can be truly sustainable packaging and at the same time useful both for the protection of cosmetics and to fully meet the needs and expectations of the consumer. An example of good packaging is from vegetable ingredients such as potato starch, corn or soy. These form completely biodegradable and versatile materials, are also less polluting and come from renewable sources.
