Tubes are commonly used to package lotions, ointments, gels, and even heavier liquids. It also includes a strong cushioning layer to prevent the contents from shattering. Tubes can now store a greater variety of substances because plastic tubes have replaced metal tubes.Food tube packaging has various advantages to both food manufacturers and customers, including improved protection against contaminants such as air and bacteria. Keeps food fresh and flavorful while preventing spoilage.
Aluminium tubes are used in a wide range of products such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, paint, and technology. Plastic tubes, particularly polyethylene tubes, can be used as well. Cosmetics and other consumables, such as hand creams, are packaged in plastic tubes.They aid in the prevention of contamination and product degradation. It’s also good for the environment because it encourages environmental sustainability. Many industries, including food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics, employ paper tube packaging.The basic function of product packaging is to protect the contents. Packaging must protect the product during delivery from the manufacturing plant to the retailer as well as when it is on the shelf. As a result, product packaging must be robust and long-lasting.
The Jordan Tube packaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Dow commercialises recyclable toothpaste packaging.The innovative commercialization of recyclable toothpaste tubes—developed and produced in Asia Pacific and used by major consumer brands—is now accessible on shop shelves all around the world, according to a recent announcement from Dow. Leading worldwide toothpaste brands were carefully partnered with by the company to mass produce the new sustainable alternative. This approach, when combined with infrastructure for appropriate disposal and recycling, might aid in lowering the quantity of old toothpaste tubes that end up in landfills.
The weight of 10 Eiffel Towers or around 100,000 tons of garbage per year is attributed to non-recyclable toothpaste tubes. Making the tubes recyclable, however, was a very difficult task. Manufacturers of toothpaste typically employ tubes made from a combination of different polymers and a layer of aluminium since toothpaste is susceptible to air and humidity.
This makes the packaging practically impossible to recycle. Dow’s novel packaging solution addresses the recyclability issue by removing the aluminium layer while maintaining the integrity of toothpaste products using high-performance polyethylene-based technology that satisfies the same exacting performance standards as conventional multilayer tubes. Additionally, it has printability, allowing brand owners to design for shelf appeal.
Along with toothpaste tubes, Dow has introduced a number of all-PE flexible packaging solutions, which have been well received and taken up by top Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)brand partners. These developments are a part of Dow’s efforts to meet its Close the Loop targets, which include collecting, reusing, or recycling one million metric tons of plastic through its direct actions and partnerships by 2030, and having 100 percent of its packaging solutions recyclable or reusable by 2035.
In order to maximise the value of plastic and lessen the overall environmental impact of packaging and plastics, Dow continues to work with clients and value chain partners throughout the plastics and packaging industries. Examples include expanding bio-based renewable feedstocks, accelerating advanced recycling, helping consumer brands design their packaging to be 100% recyclable while simultaneously increasing shelf life, and developing novel approaches to repurpose difficult-to-recycle plastics.
