GSK Consumer Healthcare is making a change to its toothpaste packaging and this summer, Sensodyne Pronamel tubes will be fully recyclable. The shift is thanks to a change in the way the toothpaste tubes are laminated and Albéa’s patented Greenleaf laminate technology is helping to create the future of responsible packaging within oral care.
These tubes work with existing recycling processes so that waste can be diverted from landfills when the fully recyclable tubes are properly disposed of. By working with two tube manufacturers (Albéa and EPL Global) GSK Consumer Healthcare is transitioning the packaging for its specialist and science-based oral health brands like Sensodyne, Parodontax and Aquafresh.
GSK Consumer Healthcare is working towards a net-zero impact on climate and a positive impact on nature by 2030.
