The continued efforts support Aptar Beauty’s global goals of our packaging containing 10% recycled material by 2025.

Aptar Beauty, North America continues to expand the portfolio of sustainable dispensing solutions with the addition of two aerosol actuators and fine mist spray, now qualified in up to 46% Post-Consumer Recycled Resin (PCR)*.
