ECLIPSE refillable glass jar: An elegant, refillable system that encourages reuse and reduces single-use waste. Its modular design allows consumers to effortlessly replace capsules, extending the life of the outer glass container and supporting circular economy principles in beauty packaging.

Visitors will also discover SGD Pharma’s advanced decoration capabilities, including cutting-edge Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), lacquering, and screen-printing techniques that enable brand differentiation while remaining compatible with recycling processes. These technologies deliver high-end finishes that combine luxury aesthetics with eco-responsible design.

Decarbonization: leading with purpose

SGD Pharma reaffirms its strong commitment to sustainability through the 3R principles – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – which guide its product development and manufacturing philosophy. This approach drives every innovation toward minimizing environmental impact while upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and aesthetics.
