It is difficult to get and make good use of plastics and other engineered materials and components.However，it can also be easy to find many materials like PET, HDPE, PP and HIS,which are with high recycled content if you are resourceful and inventive enough.Plastic can be used in cosmetic packaging tubes.

  The bigger challenge is the issue of recycling cosmetic packaging .End of life, as discussed above, is a challenge for cosmetic packaging industry. However,there are answers with the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility, sometimes called Product Stewardship. Since we design our packaging, and know what the materials are, we have the best chance of using them if we ourselves collect them. 

  Cosmetic companies need to start looking for opportunities to engage their customer on the subject of returning packaging for recycling.If the industry will work together to set up the infrastructure, the consumer will respond. I also believe that the burden and cost of recovery needs to be shared with the consumer and that the price they pay should include recovery costs. This will require retailer and brand owner cooperation across all brands. But if we can achieve this, we will have come a long way to achieving our goal on sustainability. 

   Sustainable cosmetic packaging tubes can not be developed and produced quickly or easily.However,very single move like the SPC definition can make great contribution.
