Environment & Sustainability
Turn sustainability into packaging options brands can mass-produce
LBG's sustainability approach is not a single material substitution. It reduces waste and improves recyclability across design, materials, processes, production, testing and delivery, helping customers find a practical balance among aesthetics, cost, lead time and environmental responsibility.
Our Approach
Consider environmental impact from the start of packaging development
Sustainability in beauty packaging cannot be judged by a single material label. The real result depends on bottle weight, material combinations, decoration processes, disassembly, transport efficiency, batch stability and launch requirements. LBG evaluates these factors together during development.
Material Selection
Prioritize combinations of glass, PET, recyclable plastics, metal components and refillable structures while avoiding over-packaging and unnecessary composite materials.
Structural Reduction
Reduce material use through bottle wall, base thickness, cap and component optimization while maintaining hand feel, strength and shelf impact.
Process Optimization
Choose coating, screen printing, hot stamping, electroplating and labeling according to brand needs while minimizing rework, over-decoration and high-loss processes.
Production Waste Reduction
Reduce batch rework, scrap and repeat transport through sample approval, color standards, process inspection and issue review.
Packaging Options
Selectable sustainability paths for different brand stages
New brands often focus on cost and stable supply, while mature brands also consider carbon footprint, recyclability, refills and ESG audits. LBG can translate sustainability targets into executable packaging choices based on project stage.
Factory Management
Sustainability also requires controlled production processes
For a packaging factory, environmental management must be implemented on site: water, electricity, materials, chemicals, waste, rework and logistics all need to be recorded and continuously improved.
Water & Energy
Focus on water and energy efficiency in glass production, cleaning, coating and post-processing while supporting equipment maintenance and stable process parameters.
Chemical Management
Identify, store, use and dispose of coatings, inks, solvents, cleaners and electroplating-related materials responsibly.
Waste Sorting
Sort glass, plastic, metal, cartons, packaging materials and production waste to improve recyclable material utilization.
Quality Reduces Waste
Set color difference, adhesion, assembly, sealing and appearance standards early to reduce rework and scrap caused by nonconformance.
Supply Chain Coordination
Evaluate material responsibility and delivery stability with suppliers of glass, plastic, metal parts, pumps, sprayers and auxiliary materials.
Documentation & Traceability
Retain material batches, test records, shipment information and customer approval documents to support compliance and ESG audits.
Project Support
Turn sustainability goals into packaging plans that can be quoted, sampled and produced
If customers already have material standards, recyclability requirements, refill directions or supplier codes of conduct, LBG can evaluate bottle forms, components, surface finishing and mass-production risks early in the project to reduce late-stage revisions.
