ALP­LAhana pres­ents mono-material dis­penser with down-lock function 

Inno­va­tive pla­stic lotion dis­penser is fully recyclable

Hard, 25 Sep­tember 2024 – Maximum recy­cla­bi­lity, fewer com­pon­ents, cus­to­mi­sable and available as a com­plete system: ALP­LAhana pres­ents its first down-lock dis­penser pump made enti­rely of pla­stic with a sturdy pla­stic spring. The joint ven­ture bet­ween pack­a­ging and recy­cling spe­cia­list ALPLA and HANA Inno­va­tion from South Korea will be pre­sen­ting two vari­ants of the inno­va­tive dis­penser solu­tion at the Beau­ty­world Middle East in Dubai at the end of October.

Made of 100 per cent poly­pro­py­lene: ALP­LAhana has deve­loped a unique mono-material dis­penser pump with a down-lock func­tion. The joint ven­ture bet­ween the inter­na­tional pack­a­ging and recy­cling spe­cia­list ALPLA and HANA Inno­va­tion from South Korea is thus crea­ting a fully recy­clable and com­pact solu­tion for various liquid dis­pen­sers. The pro­duct inno­va­tion will be pre­sented at the Beau­ty­world Middle East 2024 from 28 to 30 October in Dubai.

Our solu­tion streng­thens the cir­cular eco­nomy, saves mate­rial and increases recy­cla­bi­lity. It does not require a metal spring, requires fewer com­pon­ents and some of them can also be made from post-consumer recy­cled mate­rial (PCR),’ reports Sree Hari R Nair, Global Head of Busi­ness Pumps and Devices at ALPLA. Thanks to the stable and durable pla­stic spring, the patented tech­no­logy allows the con­tents to be safely stored in the down-lock posi­tion. The dis­penser offers cus­to­mers added logi­stical value and saves shelf space.

Stan­dard for­mats and customisation
The two stan­dard ver­sions of the down-lock dis­penser with a nominal output of 2 and 4 mil­li­li­tres (ml) are available with a smooth- or ribbed-neck finish for stan­dard clo­sure sizes. Like all ALP­LAhana pro­ducts, the colour, head and clo­sure can be cus­to­mised. This also applies to the fine-tuning of out­puts in defined ranges in line with cus­tomer requirements.

As a system sup­plier, ALPLA offers orga­ni­sa­tional, logi­stical and com­mer­cial added value. Cus­to­mers can purchase the bottle and pump from a single source and receive a per­fectly coor­di­nated com­plete solu­tion. ‘Many mul­ti­na­tional brand manu­fac­tu­rers want to make their port­fo­lios more sus­tainable and envi­ron­men­tally fri­endly. We can now sup­port them with our safe, affordable and sus­tainable dis­penser solu­tions. We can do this world­wide, to the hig­hest qua­lity stan­dards and accor­ding to cus­tomer requi­re­ments,’ empha­sises Michael Feltes, Mana­ging Director of ALP­LAin­ject. The injec­tion moul­ding divi­sion was founded in 2024.
