Aptar develops mono-material pump


Aptar has launched Future, its first fully recyclable mono-material pump for packaging in the beauty and personal care industries. This is made using PE only, aligning it with the com- monest materials in use in the bottles and thus making the full package more readily recyclable, the company said. Key features of the pump include an incorporated on/


off locking system and a 360° actuator. This makes it compliant with ISTA 6-Amazon protocol, subject to final tests by a brand’s bottle choice. The Future pump is certified by Cyclos-HTP, the institute for


recyclability and product responsibility, and marked as ‘A’ by RecyClass, which works to establish a harmonised recycling ap- proach and traceability in Europe. It is also available using post-con- sumer recycled plastics, and Aptar has obtained International Sustainability & Carbon Certification for its European production. � www.aptar.com
