Amcor: Bulldog Skincare Original product range

Amcor has achieved significant material savings as part of its ongoing partnership with the men’s skincare brand Bulldog.

Significant weight reduction

The 16.67% reduction in the wall thickness of each 50 mm tube sleeve, used for several Bulldog products in 100 ml and 150 ml formats, is expected to save around 8.5 tons of plastic per year.

A collaboration between Amcor and Bulldog

This change is the result of close collaboration between Amcor and Bulldog aimed at further enhancing the sustainability features of Bulldog products. Amcor developed a series of rigorous tests to demonstrate that usability and consumer experience were not compromised by this change, and that the new lightweight tube maintained print quality and sealing performance. The lighter tube sleeve is fully compatible with the existing cap and shoulder, ensuring that the filling process is not affected.

Integration of recycled plastic

In addition to lightweighting, Amcor has increased the proportion of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic in the entire tube to more than 62%.

Bulldog’s sustainable commitment

From the beginning, Bulldog has been committed to offering attractive and more sustainable products and has used certified sugarcane supplied by Amcor for its virgin materials since 2017. As a biopolymer derived from food production, sugarcane-based plastic reduces Bulldog’s dependence on fossil fuels.

Partner testimonials

“This latest version of the 100 ml and 150 ml flexible tubes illustrates Bulldog’s and Amcor’s shared commitment to a circular society where more sustainable consumption and recycling become the norm,” said Joe Horton, Sales Director at Amcor.
“By leveraging our technical expertise and working hand in hand, we found an innovative solution to develop even more sustainable packaging.”

James Barnes, Brand Director at Bulldog, added:
“The result of our successful and ongoing collaboration with Amcor is a consumer-focused product that further strengthens its sustainability credentials while remaining highly visually appealing.”
