ALPLAhana, a joint venture (JV) between ALPLA and South Korea\u2019s HANA Innovation, has announced the launch of its monomaterial dispenser pump featuring a down-lock function.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new pump is entirely made of polypropylene (PP), including a plastic spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This stable and durable spring enables the pump to securely store contents in the down-lock position.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The technology, which is patented, reportedly offers logistical advantages and space-saving benefits on shelves.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

ALPLAhana will present two standard versions of this down-lock dispenser, with outputs of 2ml and 4ml, available with either a smooth or ribbed-neck finish to fit standard closure sizes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition, the JV allows for personalisation of the colour, head, and closure, as well as fine-tuning of the dispenser\u2019s output to meet specific customer needs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

ALPLAinject managing director Michael Feltes said: \u201cMany 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a system supplier, ALPLA provides additional organisational, logistical, and commercial value.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Customers can source both the bottle and pump from ALPLA, ensuring a seamlessly integrated solution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

ALPLA Business Pumps and Devices global head Sree Hari R Nair said: \u201cOur 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).\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The dispenser solution will be showcased at Beautyworld Middle East 2024 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 28 to 30 October 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, ALPLA joined forces with zerooo, a sustainable packaging initiative, to introduce a reusable polyethylene terephthalate bottle<\/a> for cosmetic products.\u00a0<\/p>\n
