Enhancing Sustainability in Skincare Packaging: COSJAR's PCR Solutions Amid EU Plastic Regulations

The growing concern about the environmental impact of plastic waste has led to significant regulatory actions in the European Union (EU). The EU has established stringent regulations to mitigate plastic pollution and promote sustainable packaging solutions. As a leading manufacturer of skincare packaging, COSJAR is committed to aligning our products with these regulations and offering eco-friendly options without compromising on quality and aesthetics.

EU Plastic Regulations: A Push for Sustainability

The EU Plastics Strategy, adopted in 2018, aims to transform the way plastics and plastic products are designed, used, produced, and recycled. Key elements of this strategy include:

• Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD): This directive targets the reduction of single-use plastic products that are commonly found in marine litter. It includes measures such as bans, consumption reduction targets, and extended producer responsibility schemes.
• Circular Economy Action Plan: This plan, part of the European Green Deal, focuses on implementing a circular economy model where resources are used more efficiently, and waste is minimized. It places a strong emphasis on increasing the recyclability and recycled content of plastics.
• Recyclability and Recycled Content: The EU encourages the use of recycled materials in packaging. By 2025, 25% of plastic packaging waste should be recycled, and by 2030, this should increase to 50%. Additionally, there are targets for the incorporation of recycled content in new plastic products.
