DESIGN: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

We believe the correct way to promote company growth is through the development of new products
and technologies.
In April 2014 we created a new Research and Development team, with the goal of studying new
packaging, new technologies and new products, prior to the requests of the market.
GFL has invested more than 13 million euros in the last 3 years in machines and innovations to reach
this target.

EU Ecolabel is a mark given to products that respect severe ecological criteria along their entire life cycle. This European standards refers to the formula, packaging and performance of the products.
Nordic Ecolabel trademark is an effective and simple marketing tool that is a guarantee that products have fulfilled stringent environmental and climate criteria.It works toward a sustainable consumerism and production, which are key factors in achieving a sustainable society.
100% Vegetable soap
On request, we are able to supply soap made with RSPO (Roundtable for Sustainable Palm oil) from our certified source.
Ecocert - http://cosmetics.ecocert.com - is a private organization that certifies the organicity of a product. It focuses primarily on the raw materials (natural / synthetic) but it also checks the entire production chain, ending with the product disposal.
PACKAGING THE FUTURE:SUSTAINABILITY
DESIGNED INTO ALL
Product’s weight loss: caps, bottles, “one piece” tube, towels, doypacks,.. are all studied to reduce the amount of packaging
material and avoid waste.
Renewable or recycled raw materials avoid the need to use precious virgin resources such as trees and petroleum to
produce new products.
Products made with PCR materials can be recycled, another environmentally responsible action.
Plastic derived from the renewable source of corn starch.
Compostable materials: PLA e Materbi in development for future packaging.
Wherever possible in the production of our own collections we use 100 % recycled PET, 100 % recycled HDPE,100%
recycled cardboard, and paper pulp from 100% post consumer recycled paper.
Soy-based inks for paper and carton printing, which are naturally low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Studying the environmental impact of our packaging
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
The LCA analysis aims to assess the environmental impact arising from different packaging, comparing them with each
other. The study analyzes all phases of the life cycle, from the raw materials, production methodology, style of packaging
and disposal after use.
The results are expressed in terms of kg of CO2.
Reducing carton dimensions and shipping costs: we standardise the carton size in order to fit as much as possible
on to a pallet and we never exceed maximum weight.
We ship full truckloads and consolidated orders when possible and encourage customers to order less frequently to
save shipping costs and reduce greenhouse emissions.
Smart distribution: distributors warehouse are strategically located to correlate with customer demand to accommodate efficient local deliveries and minimize delivery to customer.
