Cargo picks PLA for lipstick packs in UKstevenkiernan, 1 February 2007Be the first to comment on this article Cargo Cosmetics has introduced a PLA lipstick case (pictured) called PlantLove to UK beauty stores this month. Cargo said the case, developed over the past two years, was a world first. It plans to pack all its lipsticks in PLA eventually, but is currently only introducing the case with new colour lines. Four shades of lipstick have been designed by celebrities including Lindsay Lohan and Evangeline Lilly. They have been available at Pout Covent Garden, London, since the start of this month. Cargo president Hana Zalzal said there were “no issues” with using PLA with make-up. “We are looking into other areas to apply PLA to make-up packaging if possible. The only performance issue for PLA in general is that it is best suited to rigid packaging. You cannot make a squeeze tube out of PLA alone.” As well as the colourful PLA lipstick case, Cargo has designed secondary packaging made from biodegradable flower paper; paper infused with seeds, which, when moistened and planted, should grow an array of wild flowers.
