Innovations in PCR Plastic Packaging for a Sustainable Future #
Living Fountain is dedicated to advancing the use of PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics in packaging, setting new standards for sustainability and technical achievement in the industry. Our journey reflects a commitment to both environmental responsibility and uncompromising product quality.
World’s First PCR Dispensing Pump #
In collaboration with the beauty brand O’right, Living Fountain successfully developed and manufactured the world’s first PCR dispensing pump. The project began in 2016, when O’right requested a dispensing pump made from PCR plastic for their shampoo products. Despite having no prior experience with PCR plastic packaging, our team embraced the challenge.
A typical dispensing pump, such as those used for shampoo, contains up to 11 internal components. Each part required extensive testing—at least 4 hours per component, followed by a 48-hour observation period. Achieving the right balance of strength, airtightness, elasticity, resilience, and stretchability with PCR plastic demanded repeated adjustments and rigorous verification. The process took nearly a year, with continuous improvements to overcome manufacturing bottlenecks.
By June 2018, we had succeeded in creating a dispensing pump with over 80% PCR plastic content. This innovation reduces carbon emissions by 66% compared to pumps made from virgin materials, establishing a unique value proposition for sustainable packaging. As of June 2023, Living Fountain has produced over 3 million PCR dispensing pumps, resulting in a carbon reduction of 75,000 kg.
PCR Trigger Sprayer: Pushing the Boundaries of Eco-Friendly Design #
With growing global interest in sustainable packaging, our R&D team has developed a PCR trigger sprayer that sets a new benchmark in the industry. This trigger sprayer incorporates more than 80% PCR plastic, covering six key components: the cap, main body, tooth cover, connecting part, handle, and straw. This achievement represents the highest proportion of PCR plastic in a trigger sprayer currently available, demonstrating our advanced research and development capabilities.
The successful launch of the PCR trigger sprayer not only expands the range of eco-friendly packaging options for our clients but also marks a significant step forward in the pursuit of environmental sustainability.
