Naturally environmentally conscious: Our bio-based cosmetic pencils

Our bio-based cellulose pods offer a pleasant "wood feel" and ensure a tight fit of the lead as well as constant density, excellent sharpness and precise contour. With a free choice of colours and shapes, low waste and environmental friendliness, they are the ideal choice for sustainable cosmetic pencils.

We customize our pods to meet specific customer requests, offering bio-based materials, food compliance, airtightness, and various decoration options. Our continuous improvement enables outstanding decorating and sharpening for premium cosmetic pens.

With eco-friendly properties and full recyclability, our pin sleeves and front caps stand for quality, sustainability and versatility.

We produce our lipbalm sticks using the injection molding process

Our bio-based lip balm sticks are manufactured using the injection molding process. In injection molding, we produce a variety of products on DEMAG or Arburg lines. We use bio-based raw materials as well as traditional plastics like PP to create premium cosmetic and packaging solutions.

What products does Weimako develop and produce?

We develop, produce, and distribute sustainable packaging solutions for the cosmetics and stationery industries as well as dietary supplements: Sharpenable pen casings for cosmetic and writing pens, front caps/protective caps and end caps for pens, lipbalm sticks, bio-based jars, tins, bottles, and closures, as well as cleaning and test swabs (link to respective products).

Does Weimako only develop and produce bio-based packaging?

Weimako develops and produces both bio-based and mineral oil-based packaging.

As we take responsibility for people and the environment and look beyond the horizon, responsible handling of people and nature is one of our principles. For this reason, we have decided to develop biopackaging. With this, we have made a statement: Our product innovations demonstrate a responsible use of resources.

Does Weimako also offer a full service, such as decoration or contract filling?

Weimako specializes in the development and production of bio-based and mineral oil-based packaging: pen casings, caps, lip balm sticks, jars, bottles, tins, and closures.

We supply both undecorated and fully decorated packaging made from your desired material. If you require a full-service solution for a fully filled pen or jar, we are happy to connect you with our renowned partners and coordinate the filling of the products through our contract fillers.

Which standards/formulations does Weimako serve?

Our bio-based packaging is approved for filling with NATRUE and VEGAN formulations. The products and materials used meet the requirements of EU Regulation No. 10/2011 of January 14, 2011, for packaging that comes into contact with food, as well as the corresponding FDA regulations.

Does Weimako hold a patent for bio-based packaging?

Our process with proprietary material blends has been patented. With this, we produce, for example, our cellulose pencil. We make our ‘CelPen’ from recycled wood fibers.

The development of our bio-based products is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.

Which materials are used in our products?

Our bio-based materials consist of an extrudable and injection-moldable cellulose granulate. The formulations used contain various bio-polymers such as cellulose, starch, lignin, natural resins, natural waxes, and natural oils, as well as biological additives and natural reinforcing fibers. Solvents have been completely eliminated from the production process.

Our eco-friendly materials have a renewable raw material content of up to 95% bio-based polymers (depending on the composition). Through our new thermoplastic compound generation, we conserve the limited available natural resources. (Link to materials)

What manufacturing processes does Weimako use and where is production carried out?

Our production is located in Germany and operates with modern extrusion and injection molding facilities.

On state-of-the-art extruders, pen casings, for example, are continuously extruded under pressure from solid to viscous, curable materials using the classic extrusion method through a shaping opening.

In the injection molding process, we produce, among other items, lip balm sticks, front and end caps, as well as jars, tins, and closures on DEMAG or Arburg lines. All process steps are certified according to GMP 2023/2006, energy according to DIN 16247-1:2012, REACH certified, and compliant with EU regulations for the cosmetics industry 935/2004 and 2023/2006. Our quality management system is in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and beyond. (Link to production)

Does Weimako cooperate with universities and higher education institutions?

One aspect of staying technologically ahead is our collaboration with universities, particularly with departments in the fields of materials science and plastics engineering, as well as the targeted involvement of bachelor’s and master’s students from the “Renewable Resources and Bioenergy” study program. If you are from a university or a student interested in a cooperation with us, we look forward to hearing from you.

Can I submit an unsolicited application to Weimako?

We offer bachelor’s and master’s students exciting opportunities, such as in the form of a thesis, a working student position, or an internship – both in the commercial and technical fields. Our facility in Tutzing is easily accessible by S-Bahn from Munich. Careers at Weimako
