The company says the use of recycled material for Color Code PCR underscores Aptar Beauty’s strong commitment to circularity.
Aptar Beauty, a global name in dispensing systems, has released a new plastic fragrance pump made with post-consumer recycled resin (PCR), the company posted on its website. Color Code PCR is the first fragrance pump on the market to include up to 67%* of mechanical PCR Plus material without compromising on customization options and aesthetics.
A sustainable pump
By integrating up to 67%* of mechanical PCR Plus content during manufacturing, Aptar says it reduces the product’s CO2 emissions by up to -39% versus the version using conventional resin. This number has been verified by a comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of the raw materials using Aptar’s internal Eco Design tool**.
By choosing Color Code PCR over a conventional plastic equivalent, brands can reduce their Scope 3 carbon emissions, while benefiting from a ready-to-use PCR content claim. Depending on the region, using this pump may also help brands avoid some extra plastic packaging tax.
The company says the use of recycled material for Color Code PCR underscores Aptar Beauty’s strong commitment to circularity. In fact, Aptar is a proud member of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Economy 100 (CE100) Network, the world’s leading circular economy network.
Additionally, Aptar is a signatory of the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment to address plastic waste and determine new ways to design our products to be more recyclable and keep materials in use.
At the end of its life, the Color Code PCR fragrance pump can be recycled together with the bottle in the glass waste stream, the company says.
“Color Code PCR is a stylish step towards sustainability: it is our very first plastic fragrance pump integrating PCR. This pump not only adds a touch of color and differentiation to fragrance launches but can also help brands achieve their sustainability goals by committing to packaging circularity,” says Giuseppe Barletta, regional platform manager EMEA, fragrance lifestyle, Aptar Beauty
The made-in-Italy, snap-on pump dispenses a 80 mcl dosage. Color Code PCR is fully customizable to achieve on-brand designs thanks to the versatility of plastic allowing for a wide variety of colors in a glossy finish.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive
The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.
As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are growing similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.
We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.
The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
