Another Sustainable Material Successfully Launched In North America

Shanghai Pactek Industries Co., Ltd. has achieved a significant milestone in its sustainability journey with the successful delivery of eco-friendly, low-carbon composite tubes for oral care products to a North American client in January 2025. This achievement underscores the growing adoption of Pactek’s PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) series, a flagship innovation designed to address global demands for circular economy solutions. Leveraging advanced formulation algorithms, the company optimized the use of recyclable materials, achieving PCR content exceeding 30% in both tube shoulders and bodies—a benchmark that sets new standards for sustainable packaging in the industry.

The launch of this product aligns with North America’s stringent environmental regulations and consumer preferences for green alternatives. By integrating PCR materials, Pactek not only reduces dependency on virgin plastics but also minimizes carbon footprints across the supply chain. To ensure product integrity, the company implemented rigorous testing protocols, including lifecycle assessments and compatibility studies with oral care formulations. Beyond material innovation, Pactek is collaborating with upstream suppliers to enhance recycling infrastructure and streamline material traceability, ensuring transparency for brand owners and end-users alike.

This breakthrough is part of Pactek’s broader strategy to empower clients with sustainable competitive advantages. For instance, the reduced material costs and compliance with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria enable brands to appeal to eco-conscious consumers while meeting regulatory requirements. Additionally, Pactek’s energy-saving production technologies, such as low-emission extrusion processes, further amplify environmental benefits. Industry analysts highlight that such innovations position Pactek as a leader in the $50 billion global sustainable packaging market, particularly as brands like Unilever and Colgate-Palmolive accelerate their net-zero commitments.

Looking ahead, Pactek plans to expand its PCR series to other regions and product categories, including pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging. By prioritizing R&D in bio-based resins and closed-loop recycling systems, the company aims to achieve 50% PCR content across its portfolio by 2030. This initiative not only reinforces Pactek’s commitment to a greener future but also solidifies its role as a trusted partner for global brands navigating the transition to sustainable packaging.
