EcoFusion Top with Thin-Wall & PCR max is the lightest and most circular solution ticking all boxes to move towards greater circularity combining 3Rs: reduction, recycled content, recycling-ready. To really have a big impact in weight reduction, Albea removed one component by fusioning the head&cap leading to the EcoFusion Top design, thus clearly illustrating the efforts in reducing plastic consumption. Reducing weight is our top priority and EcoFusion Top +Thin-Wall 350µm sleeve vs standard cap+head+sleeve leads to a weight reduction of 55%. EcoFusion Top by its own only weights 2.4g vs 12g for the standard head+cap. Moreover, the solution is made from 100% PE making the tube recycling-ready in HDPE streams and integrates 41% recycled plastics (PCR Max with 70% r-HDPE in the sleeve). Apart from the design, this innovation is a breakthrough in production process thanks to the ability to combine it on both extruded & laminate tubes.
