Packaging of the Month September 2024: Kankan Cosmetics in chic, environmentally friendly aluminum tins

Packaging of the Month September 2024: Kankan Cosmetics in chic, environmentally friendly aluminum tins

Liquid soap, shower gel and body lotion are usually sold in plastic containers. These are generally not reusable and often only recyclable to a limited extent. Kankan has set itself the task of changing this. With its innovative packaging solution for everyday cosmetics, the British company from London is setting a creative example for environmental protection. And: the comfort for the user is not neglected either. Thanks to these properties, the Kankan concept has earned the title of our Packaging of the Month for September 2020.

The basic concept and materials

Take an aluminum can and fill it with high-quality cosmetics. Then add a suitable dispenser made from post-consumer plastic waste. Voilà, the product that delights people and the environment is ready. This simple yet effective solution from Kankan is a wonderful example of the less-is-more design approach. Aluminum, or metal in general, can be recycled indefinitely and has a recycling rate of over 90 percent in the UK and the EU. Added to this is the reusable dispenser made of PCR material, which gives the products even more sustainability.

Practical and elegant

It’s easy to use: simply remove the lid from the aluminum can and attach the dispenser – and the soap, shower gel or body lotion is ready for use. After use, the can is washed out and disposed of in the yellow recycling bag or bin. Meanwhile, the cleaned dispenser is ready for its next use with a new aluminum can. In addition to the practical features, the visual component is also impressive. The elegant, modern design of the containers is absolutely presentable.

Conclusion

Our Packaging of the Month September 2024 is convincing all along the line. It avoids plastic waste, supports the circular economy and protects Mother Earth. Incidentally, the composition of the cosmetics themselves is also impressive. Kankan uses 99 percent plant-based ingredients and 100 percent natural fragrances that are designed to support the hormonal system and skin biomes. Parabens, sulfates, silicones, SLS, synthetic dyes and fragrances are not used by the manufacturer. With this in mind, Kankan products are beneficial for people and the environment.
