Sustainable packaging solutions for cosmetics, stationery and nutritional supplements
► Ecological responsibility through innovation

The increasing pollution of the world's oceans by petrochemical polymers and dwindling resources have given us the idea of developing a pencil tube made of biogenic materials.

The result is a cellulose tube which is up to 95% bio-based and represents a real alternative to conventional plastic and wooden pencils, both ecologically and economically. Our patented cellulose pencil 'CelPen' which we produce from recycled wood fibres is environmentally friendly and sustainable!

Our CelPen is therefore not made from recycled raw material (wood; cellus lots) in the classic sense. Instead, we use wood residues from the wood-processing industry for our CelPen, and not new raw materials that first have to be extracted - so called Second Generation Wood. As a result, we reduce waste, conserve natural resources instead of cutting down new trees, and reduce the energy required for raw material extraction, transport, and processing.

  • Thus, we contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and are twice green, because no tree has to be sacrificed for our bio-packaging!

 


 

Based on this innovation, we have developed a high-quality cosmetic bio-packaging, which is made of Second Generation Wood and can be composted (according to EN13432) and recycled again without leaving microplastics. Another of our innovative formulations contain various bio-polymers, such as cellulose, starch, lignin, natural resins, natural waxes and natural oils, biological additives and natural reinforcing fibers. 

With this innovation we offer sustainable alternatives to conventional plastic products.

 


 

Flexible plastics processing with bio-, wood-based and recycled raw materials is our specialty.

 

We firmly believe that sustainable packaging made from Second Generation Wood, or upcycled, rescued and upgraded wood makes a difference and we all have the power to contribute to a more sustainable future.

A decision we support with every stroke.

Bio Packaging

Pencil tubes, caps, lipbalm sticks, jars, bottles and closures made of renewable raw materials - bio-based and recyclable

From the idea of our cellulose tube, our CelPen and through the use of the specialised technologies and processes as well as innovative compounds, Weimako produces bio-packaging with outstanding properties.

We have succeeded in producing a wide range of cosmetic packaging from renewable raw materials or 'Second Generation Wood', in addition to our bio-based CelPen, we have also developed caps, lipbalm sticks, jars and closures.

Our bio-based pen tubes and caps are also increasingly used in the stationery industry - as an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to wooden or conventional plastic pens.

We also offer sustainable catering products, such as biodegradable, industrially compostable (according to EN13432) reusable drinking straws made of cellulose.

With our 'Bio-Packagings' we offer the following advantages:

  • Ecological and sustainable:
    • Short transport routes, such as wood fibers from the region
    • Up to 95% bio-based
    • Minimization of soil and water consumption
    • Attractively priced
  • Environmentally friendly and sustainable
  • No raw material bottlenecks (unlike cedar wood)
  • Noble look and pleasant haptics (tubs e.g. in wood haptics)
  • Wide variety of colors, shapes and designs
  • Excellent decorability: freely selectable surface appearance, can be finished with lacquer or hot stamping foil; even a trendy 3D haptic can be realized
  • Pencils/cases/pencil tubes can be sharpened like wooden pens
  • Exact dimensions with tightest tolerances
  • Sufficient barrier effect for care and cosmetic products (e.g. eyeliner) without volatile components
  • Reliable strength after design and filling

CelPen - we are twice green. No tree must be sacrificed!

Funding and patent

The development of our bio-based products is funded by the "Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie" (Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy).
A patent application has been filed for our bio-based pen tubes and lipbalm sticks.

Bioplastics offer environmentally friendly solutions

For our Bio Packagings we use bio-based, renewable or recycled raw materials.


Our bio-based raw materials:

  • PLA based granules
  • Cellulose based granules
  • Wood fibre based granules
  • Granules based on organic and vegetable PE (polyethylene)
  • Recycled PET
