PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled resin — plastic that has already been used by consumers, collected, processed, and remade into new material. Using PCR in packaging means fewer virgin fossil-fuel-based plastics are manufactured. For beauty brands, it's one of the most direct ways to lower the carbon footprint of packaging without compromising product safety or shelf appeal.

Yes. The PA103 uses a 100% BPA-free, odorless PP/PCR inner bottle that is chemically compatible with water-based and emulsion formulas, including serums, essences, eye creams, and lotions. The airless pump mechanism also eliminates air contact inside the bottle, which protects active ingredients from oxidation — a critical advantage for vitamin C, retinol, and peptide-based products.

The PA103 is engineered for easy consumer refilling — the inner bottle can be detached, cleaned, and refilled, extending the lifecycle of the outer bottle significantly. Brands can offer refill pouches or in-store refill stations as part of a circular packaging program. This reduces material usage per unit sold and supports take-back initiatives.

Full brand customization is supported. You can specify any Pantone color for the outer bottle and choose from five decoration techniques: electroplating, painting, silkscreen printing, hot-stamping, and label application. Custom pump head colors and cap finishes are also available on request. Contact our team for a specification sheet and sample kit.
