Aptar removes POM from its pumps and goes forward in sustainable innovation

Aptar removes POM from its pumps and goes forward in sustainable innovation
As of January 2025, Aptar Beauty’s main dispensing solutions will be available in a POM-free version. A world first, according to the company, which is actively moving forward with the transformation of its products to minimize their environmental impact.

At Luxe Pack Monaco, from September 30 to October 2, 2024, the supplier of dispensing and primary packaging solutions for the beauty and perfumery markets emphasized the importance of combining performance, sustainability and premium aesthetics.

While it is probably not possible to do without plastics, Aptar believes they should be kept out of the environment. As a member of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment, the company actively work on three pillars – recyclability, resin conversion and reusability. Furthermore, Aptar has pledged to complete three key objectives by 2025: achieve 10% recycled content in its dispensing solutions; eliminate problematic resins [1] from all its products; and offer 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable plastic packaging.

The only POM-free prestige fragrance pump collection


When launched in 2021, the INUNE prestige pump collection was designed without polyoxymethylene (POM), a formaldehyde releaser that can be dangerous to the environment. It uses PP instead of POM materials and features a metal-free pathway to safeguard the integrity of the fragrance.

Now available in screw-on, crimp-on or seal-tight versions, the collection offers three different sprays: Classic INUNE for a precise and efficient gentle gesture for everyday use; Precious INUNE, which produces a fine and progressive diffusion that lasts three times longer than a classic spray; and HDS INUNE for a wide-angle spray that offers a light and fine spray.
