GSK Consumer Healthcare (GSKCH) has revealed that it is partnering with two global packaging suppliers to launch fully recyclable toothpaste tubes across its oral health brands, including Sensodyne, parodontax and Aquafresh.
The first partnership with Albea, which is one of the world’s largest tube manufacturers, will see GSKCH switch its toothpaste tubes from aluminium barrier laminates to the patented Greenleaf laminate. The switch-over will begin with Sensodyne Pronamel tubes, which will be available in fully recyclable alternatives in Europe this July.
This will be supported by a second partnership with EPL Global to produce tubes in Platina laminate. Both laminates have passed recycling-readiness tests set by the US-based Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) and by Europe’s RecyClass, meaning that the tubes will be recyclable and compatible with existing recycling processes.
