Yangi.
Creating a new
packaging system
based on new
technology.

Challenge

The beauty and cosmetics industry has relied heavily on plastic material for the packaging of their products. With a rising awareness of the polluting nature of plastics, and the limitations with regards to current recycling systems, new bio-based opportunities are essential in moving towards a circular future.

Yangi by the Loop Factory is a disruptive packaging system developed to reduce the use of rigid plastics. From a brand and design perspective, the possibilities are endless. Grow and The Future of Packaging Initiative have co-invested and collaborated to develop strong viable commercial applications to accelerate the interest and ultimately the market adaption of the technology

Solution

The first Proof of Concept of the Yangi Dry Forming Technology has been created for the beauty and cosmetics industry. In order to introduce new technology in a way that adds value to consumers, brands and the entire value chain backward, we have developed a commercial concept that has merged high value for consumers with a viable approach to scale. The first Yangi design concept combines the association of high tech & high touch, using a shape that associates to- and appeals to luxury brands & consumers, creating a pull from the market. 

Reaching the UN SDGs, EU targets and beyond, we need a new way of working together across the value chain; with new technologies, industries breaking with convention and brands aiming to make a difference.  Just like with the Paper Bottle Company and Shaped Paper Pods projects we are inviting Pioneer Partners to join us to both develop and invest in this new elegant technology developed by The Loop Factory. The beauty and cosmetics industry is only the start of the Yangi journey, more applications are currently under development.
