It is certified by ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification), an independent organization delivering a globally applicable certification system for the sustainability of raw materials and packaging to provide fully traceable sustainable solutions. Material traceability and sustainability are guaranteed by ISCC certificates delivered with each Micro ISCC project.

Micro is now available in mono-material full PE material with full recyclability certified by CYCLOS-HTP (in Europe for uncolored packaging without decor or label). The full packaging is fully recyclable and PCR capable. The Mezzo Mono range will be available starting January 2024.

PET is the material achieving the best transparency finish, clear as crystal, with good recyclability features (the PET barrel is recyclable). It is perfect to display eye-catching formulas with vibrant colors, innovative textures or micro-encapsulated particles. A wide range of personalization options and decor is available.

Not only recyclable, Micro can also be made from recycled PET. A wide range of personalization options and decor is available.

PCR is the most common type of recycled plastic, coming from consumer plastic waste. PCR Plus is a specific approach defined by APTAR to propose an option for the Beauty and Cosmetic EMEA market when no PP Food Grade is available.

This new actuator is especially designed for the most visually sophisticated and striking formulas. It contains an inner crusher with ribs first cracking then mixing pearls, encapsulated pigments or actives and formula together, thanks to a pressure differential.
