Colgate-Palmolive aims to switch from non- recyclable laminate tubes
Colgate-Palmolive has begun roll-out of a new recyclable toothpaste tube, replacing laminate versions. The tube meets recyclability standards set by the Association of Plastic Recyclers. The all-HDPE tube for Antiplaque & Whitening toothpaste under the company’s Tom’s of Maine brand is now appearing in US stores. The Tom’s brand will complete the switch in 2020, when the Colgate brand will start the transition in Europe and North America. By 2025, the company expects to complete modifications to tube- making equipment at more than a dozen of its facilities around the world. Colgate-Palmolive said it is sharing details of its technology, including
information subject to Colgate patent applications, and is engaging with packaging and recycling stakeholders, to build awareness and accept- ance of the tube. �
