Most major OEMs have indeed taken eco-design approaches to reduce the environmental footprint of their packaging. Light weighting, replacement of materials with circular ones, packaging design so that they can be reused or recycled are just some of the efforts that have been made to reduce the environmental impact of packaging.

To replace plastic and zamak commonly used in Beauty packaging, aluminum is one of the materials of choice thanks to its better recyclability. But with traditional metal processing techniques, complex shapes and fine details made of metal are often shelved at the designer’s desk, rather than propagated to the shop floor. With its groundbreaking HPP forming techniques, Bmax offers a unique possibility to design and manufacture exclusive products made of aluminum while reducing environmental impacts.
