Packaging solutions company Amcor has developed a 25ml skincare stick applicator for Decathlon that incorporates recycled plastic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The recycled plastic utilised in the applicator is sourced from the packaging group\u2019s proprietary CleanStream technology, and aligns with the sports retailer\u2019s efforts to cut its carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The stick pack, made predominantly from polypropylene, contains 87% recycled polypropylene (rPP).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This results in a 17% reduction in CO\u2082 impact compared with packaging produced from virgin resin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mono-material design is described as being suitable for recycling in locations where necessary infrastructure\u202fis available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decathlon has adopted the new applicator format for two products: an anti-chafing stick and an SPF50+ sunscreen stick.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both items are intended to provide portable and dirt-free use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The retailer has pledged to lower its absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions [from sources it owns or controls, and from sources which are a consequence of its activities but occur from sources not owned or controlled by it] by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as the reference year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decathlon Health & Sports Accessories product and pack engineer Laurent Dujardin stated: \u201cOur customers want a quality product that they can easily use on the move, so the stick format is ideal. We challenged ourselves to also provide a more sustainable option that would still deliver the high performance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amcor\u2019s CleanStream technology mechanically recycles household polypropylene waste into high-quality recycled plastic that can be used in contact-sensitive applications.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The process uses automated systems for identification, sorting and decontamination of the waste stream.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amcor France sales director Marine Sueur added: \u201cThe ability to include rPP through our proprietary CleanStream technology means we can offer brands like Decathlon the perfect combination of convenience, performance and environmental responsibility.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In November 2025, Amcor introduced<\/a> a new lightweight roll-on bottle, the Shadow model, expanding its deodorant packaging range for beauty brands and retailers.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Shadow roll-on features a rounded base for stronger shelf visibility and offers wide colour options and a large labelling area for custom branding.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
