In 2021, to respond to the environmental demands of the House of Chanel, Texen Group is adapting its industrial processes. The company is proposing to work with RPET made from recycled PET plastic bottles, using its SMART® flexible production lines, allowing for automated, optimized production.
Thanks to the polycondensation process, for Chanel’s LE LIFT and HYDRA BEAUTY skincare lines, Texen Group has been able to create a new eco-designed cap that has the same mechanical and sensorial properties as its predecessor.
As part of its global approach to reducing its environmental impact, a commitment shared with its partner, this cap contains a black dye specifically developed to make the part detectable in optical recycling streams, facilitating recycling and allowing better management of the component throughout its life cycle.
The modularity and flexibility of the SMART® production lines allows CHANEL to control its production. As such, by managing the integrality of the design process, Texen Group can produce the raw material and manufacture a finished, varnished component in less than 20 minutes.
This technological advance is an important new step towards Texen’s ambition to develop eco-designed packaging for its partners.
