Colourful variety
Glass is not a new material, but it is a well-established one in the field of cosmetic packaging. In this interview, Silvia Klein reveals what the current status is, and which new trends can be recognised.

COSSMA: Packaging made of glass is known for being particularly easy to recycle and is therefore considered sustainable. Is the demand for glass packaging increasing during the significantly growing awareness of sustainability?
Silvia Klein: Due to the second year of the Coronavirus crisis, it is difficult to assess this situation. Since the demand for those products is generally declining and will only recover in autumn, we can answer this question with certainty at the end of the year. We receive a lot of questionnaires to be answered by us due to this important topic.
What recent developments have there been in glass packaging?
Since glass is a very old raw mate-rial, there are not so many development opportunities here. From the production side of the tubes, the surface of the glass tubes have been made much more scratch resistant. This is a great advantage of integrity when used as primary packaging in pharmacy and cosmetics.
What decoration options are there?
We offer decorated ampoules in the first step to increase the added value of the ampoule and its contents. The ampoules are the purest primary packaging in its kind, as they are immediately sealed under flame after filling and thus not subject to contamination of the ingredients.
What trends emerging in decorations of glass packaging?
Here, too, an attempt will be made to influence the colours of glass packaging with which the ampoules are refined in order to achieve the aspect of recyclability.
