They help to reduce product carbon
footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives,
reduce waste, and support the circular economy.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.5–11 gm/cm3)
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin from
renewable plant sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance that can be adapted
depending on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
• Food contact compliance available
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Applications in packaging and consumer goods in
which a more sustainable solution is preferred:
• Cosmetic caps and closures
• Perfume caps
• Spirit bottle caps
• Luxury boxes
• Handles and knobs
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin
from renewable plant sources
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to
fossil feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers cost
versus metal

In 2014,
it was spun off from Closure Systems International (CSI),
and currently produces over three billion aluminum
closures annually in 28 and 30 millimeter diameters
suitable for any type of still, carbonated or alcoholic
beverage packaged in glass, PET or aluminum bottles.
Maintaining a seal for carbonated water with high
internal pressure can be difficult and closurelogic caps
compression molded with GLS TPE liners are known to
have excellent pressure retention.
