Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Packaging: The Niugreen Project

Marie Devaux, CEO of BRC, is pioneering eco-friendly packaging solutions to reduce environmental impact. Initially specializing in flexible refills for liquids and powders, BRC now focuses on reusing glass bottles for alcohol-based products like essential oils and perfumes through the Niugreen project. To clean these bottles without water, BRC partnered with École des Mines d’Albi to develop a patented supercritical CO2 technology that absorbs particles and odors, cleaning 4,000 bottles per hour. The process uses CO2 derived from organic waste methanization, minimizing emissions and resource use. Compared to recycling, this method reduces CO2 emissions by 72% for a 150 ml bottle. Niugreen aims to meet regulatory requirements for manufacturers to reuse 10% of packaging by 2030, offering brands an environmentally responsible alternative.
