The Italian manufacturer of primary packaging solutions for cosmetics has unveiled a pilot project for a refillable jar made of recycled glass and 100% biodegradable bioplastic.

Dubbed Deluxe, the 50 ml refill jar concept imagined by Lumson combines post-consumer recycled glass (PCR) and a plate, cover, and rechargeable inner cup made from ReKrill Uva, a TÜV-certified biodegradable bioplastic [1].

In addition, an integrated NFC chip would give consumers access to a dedicated brand platform designed to support loyalty programs, encourage packaging reuse or recycling, and foster other forms of consumer engagement.

The innovative pilot pack is part of a larger, public-funded project dubbed Memora inspired by the notion of reclaiming what would otherwise be cast aside. For its conception, Lumson partnered with the startup Krill Design and collaborated researchers from the Politecnico di Milano.
