Somater has developed a 100% PE single-material tube with a lightweight 240µm skirt for the innovations of Pierre Fabre, a major player in the oral care sector and expert in pharmaceuticals and dermocosmetics.

Educational toothpastes
Pierre Fabre has entrusted Somater with its Elgydium ‘educational toothpaste’ range, which includes two products designed to teach children how to brush their teeth properly from an early age. The colour of the toothpaste changes after 2 minutes when brushing is complete.

An eco-design approach
Pierre Fabre, a committed player in sustainable development, has set itself the objective of reviewing the design of its products so that they are eco-designed by 2025. The Elgydium and Arthrodont adult ranges are in turn being lightened and deployed. This single-material packaging, made by Plastuni Lisses in Essonne (91), reduces the use of virgin plastic by reducing the thickness of the skirt, while at the same time providing the barriers needed to keep the toothpaste in good condition. The tube is topped with a screw cap, also made from PE, which makes it easier to recycle.

On the occasion of its first response to the EcoVadis questionnaire, our Plastuni Operations site based in Ninove, Belgium, was awarded a silver medal with a score of 69/100.

This score recognises the CSR commitments and actions of our Belgian site and places it in the top 15% of companies assessed by EcoVadis.

Congratulations to all our employees, customers and partners for their contribution to achieving this result, thanks to their unwavering support and commitment.

Mindful of our impact on the environment, Somater is actively engaged in the development of responsible industrial resources.

In this World Water Day, we would like to highlight the commitment of our sites to the preservation of this resource.

This is because the polymer transformation process has the advantage of using only a limited amount of water. This water is mainly used to cool our tools and is retained in a closed loop that is reused continuously.

In addition, our sites have complied with the decree on preventing the loss of industrial plastic granules into the environment by 2023. Our teams have taken all the necessary measures, such as setting up containment, recovery and reprocessing systems for granules, and are regularly trained in pollution prevention techniques.
