# Eco Dishwasher Tablet Packaging The Persil Packaging is Now Made Using 50% Recycled Polypropylene By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-04-16 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persil-packaging References: [packagingeurope](https://packagingeurope.com/henkel-unveils-new-persil-packaging-made-from-pcr/) & [henkel](https://www.henkel.co.uk/) The [Persil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persil-laundry-detergent-sheets) packaging has been revamped by [Henkel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concentrated-laundry-product) to be more focused on sustainability in a bid to reduce the need for virgin materials. The packaging is achieved using 50% recycled polypropylene for the exterior container, which has been obtained from discarded household plastics to increase the life of the discards material. The packaging is produced by [Greiner Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resealable-lid-packaging) and is further enhanced with a cardboard wrap that can be easily removed from the plastic container for separate recycling. International Project Manager at Greiner Packaging Andreas Auinger spoke on the new Persil packaging saying, "By using rPP, we’re taking another important step forward in terms of the sustainability of our cardboard-plastic packaging materials. Thanks to our innovative two-layer process, we’re meeting the highest standards of sustainability while also making sure that the packaging’s attractive appearance is retained." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Packaging:** The use of recycled polypropylene for dishwasher tablet packaging presents an opportunity for businesses to adopt sustainable packaging practices. - **Circular Economy:** The incorporation of discarded household plastics into packaging materials emphasizes the potential for a circular economy in reducing waste and extending material life cycles. - **Cardboard-plastic Hybrid Packaging:** The combination of cardboard wrap and plastic container in dishwasher tablet packaging creates an innovative hybrid solution that offers both functionality and recyclability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Goods:** The sustainable packaging trend in dishwasher tablets presents opportunities for companies in the consumer goods industry to differentiate themselves and meet consumer demand for environmentally friendly products. - **Packaging:** The use of recycled polypropylene and the development of cardboard-plastic hybrid packaging in the dishwashing industry pose opportunities for innovation and disruption in the packaging sector. - **Recycling:** The focus on separate recycling of the cardboard wrap and the plastic container in dishwasher tablet packaging highlights the potential for advancements in recycling technologies and infrastructure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper-Made Detergent Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesco-laundry-pods.md) - [Recycled Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/debatin.md) - [Concentrated Laundry Product Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concentrated-laundry-product.md) - [Paper-Made Detergent Pod Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clicktolock-pods-box.md) - [Recycled Cream Pot Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cream-pot-packaging.md) - [Recycled Private Label Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-plastic-bottle.md) - [Laundry Tab E-Commerce Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipower-tabs.md) - [Next-Gen Laundry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-laundry-capsule.md) - [Paper-Based Potato Chip Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringles-packaging.md)
