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.

Find all our CSR commitments in our annual report available here.

Somater is proud to announce that it has been awarded a B score by the CDP Climate Change 2023!

We are one of 23,000+ companies committed to environmental transparency and the fight against global warming through targeted and concrete actions.

L’Oréal Paris has extended its Elsève Hyaluron Repulp hair care range, this time with a particular focus on moisturizing and revitalizing serums based on hyaluronic acid of natural origin. For this innovative project, L’Oréal Paris once again called on Somater and Plastuni Lisses (91), the brand’s long-standing supplier.

The objective: to develop an attractive, enhancing and differentiating decor with a laminated tube that will house this top-of-the-range hair care product, preserve its quality and guarantee its safety. The result matches Plastuni Lisses’ expertise in flexography: a marking with “holographic” effect that is as seductive as it is innovative.

Somater, a multi-technology expert in the manufacture of polymer packaging, shows here the extent of its skills in the field of decoration to add value to the brand and win over customers.

Somater has designed a 100% PE tube with a 220/11µ lightened PBL skirt contributing to Expanscience’s commitments as an expert in dermo-cosmetics and a company with a mission, certified B Corp.

Recyclability and lightweighting first and foremost

Somater has been awarded the lightweighting of the Mustela 123 diaper cream tube. The 50 ml, 100 ml and 150 ml formats are now made from a lightweight PBL web, replacing the ABL used until now. In addition to reducing the amount of material used, the switch to PBL significantly improves the recyclability of the packaging thanks to its PE composition.

A circular approach to packaging life

Mustela, a committed brand wishing to contribute to achieving global climate objectives by 2050, eco-designs its products taking into account their life cycle. To this end, the brand is looking for recyclable, lightweight packaging to optimise the formula/material ratio. This lightweight tube, manufactured by Plastuni Lisses in Essonne (91), reduces the plastic content by reducing the thickness of the skirt, while maintaining the barriers needed to preserve the cream. The tube is decorated using flexography.
