Global beauty company P&G has filed a patent for a recyclable pump dispenser where the pump assemblies do not require disassembly to be recycled in current recycling streams.
 
The presence of a steel spring in most pump assemblies can make it difficult to recycle the pump dispenser in current recycling streams. Thus, there is a need for a pump dispenser that comprises only recyclable plastics from the same material recycling class, as defined by the Society of Plastics Industry, including a plastic spring.
 
To address these concerns, P&G researchers developed two different pump dispenser designs—both of which include a dual-stem design with housing at least partially surrounding the second stem, with the first stem including an end rigidly attached to the pump head. Additionally, each design features a pump head adapted to receive an end of the first stem and a closure coupled to the neck of the body.
 
As consumers gravitate towards more natural and sustainable products, P&G hopes that a completely recyclable packaging option will be highly marketable in the coming months and years.
