Beiersdorf Renewabale PP Nivea Packaging

Beiersdorf selects SABIC certified Renewable PP for new Nivea packaging

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today announced that Beiersdorf will innovate the packaging of its world-leading ‘NIVEA Naturally Good’ range of face creams using SABIC’s certified renewable polymers. SABIC’s bio-based polypropylene (PP) resin, part of its TRUCIRCLE™ portfolio, will be used for producing the jars of Beiersdorf’s NIVEA Naturally Good day and night face creams. The new NIVEA packaging will be phased in at point-of-sale outlets worldwide from June 2021 onwards and make a major contribution to help Beiersdorf reduce its use of fossil-based virgin PP.

Brands are starting to add carbon labels to their packaging

The carbon labels also includes details about the packaging-the sprayer device inside the glass bottle isn’t recyclable, for example-but the most detailed breakdown is about the carbon footprint, calculating the emissions throughout the product’s lifecycle. If someone scans the QR code on the box, they can see more details. The brand plans to help consumers understand what the data means by comparing emissions to other sources.

Food Safety with Smart Packaging

Nanosensors with PE will be able to sniff out food spoilage
