Celebrating Innovation: Award Recognition for Our PICEA™ wood Tube

We are thrilled to announce that the European Tube Manufacturers Association (ETMA)  honored our innovative Liebwerk toothpaste packaging – the PICEA™ wood tube by Hoffmann Neopac – with a prestigious “Tube of the Year 2022” award.

Introducing the PICEA™ Wood Tube

The PICEA™ wood tube is more than just a packaging: it represents our commitment to nature and environmental responsibility. Made from over 95% renewable resources, it features a blend of 10% spruce wood and 85% sugar-based materials. The spruce wood is sourced from certified forests in the European Union, specifically from sawdust waste generated by German joineries. This is the only sustainable tube solution with the feel of the integrated sustainable material: the fine wood flour gives the surface of the tube a slightly rough feel.

 

The PICEA™ wood tube offers a 40% improved CO2 balance compared to traditional polyethylene (PE) tubes while maintaining high standards in barrier properties, decoration, food suitability, and recyclability, ensuring consumer safety and environmental friendliness. It has received Ecocert and Cosmos certifications and is classified as food grade in the European Union.

A standout on the shelves

The Liebwerk toothpaste complements our three models of Swiss wooden toothbrushes  on the shelves, forming a unique dental care set that is 100% made in Switzerland.

A step towards a greener future

We are proud of this achievement, which we believe represents a significant step toward a greener future. Our award-winning PICEA™ wood  tube is a prime example of how innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand, delivering high-quality products that are gentle on the planet.

 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Hoffmann Neopac for their collaboration and to our loyal customers for their continued support. Together, we are making meaningful strides toward a more sustainable world, one tube at a time.

 

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and innovations from us. Thank you for being part of our journey towards a brighter, greener future!
