Aptar will use the Task Force in order to establish a network of sustainable material suppliers.

The move will also enable the company to improve the quality of its database and offer ready-to-use solutions.

Among the tests carried on PCR and other bio-based materials, the company’s GS and GSA dispensers containing actuator, closure and dip tube components qualified as sustainable solutions.

The dispensers completed a lifecycle assessment (LCA) and achieved an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
