NIVEA has
just started to put the first deodorants on shelf featuring Salvalco’s
innovative Eco-Valve technology. Eco-Valve utilizes eco-friendlier, inert
gases, such as nitrogen as propellant in aerosol sprays. This brings about a
higher yield per can, resulting in a significant reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions – while delivering an excellent spray quality.
Developed
and patented by Salvalco, Eco-Valve offers a more climate-friendly alternative
to aerosols with conventional hydrocarbon propellants. Advancing the aerosol
industry, the UK-based engineering company develops innovative aerosol valve
systems and provides them to customers around the world. As a result of a
strong collaboration following the venture capital investment by OSCAR&PAUL
Beiersdorf Venture Capital in 2020, NIVEA is the first global brand to use this
patented, climate-friendlier aerosol valve – taking the lead in its industry.
“I am very
pleased to report that we have made significant progress on our sustainability
journey in the past months. We share the vision of a climate-positive future
with our partners at Salvalco and are excited to deliver now more climate-friendly
aerosol products to our consumers,” says Michael Becker, Head of Global
Packaging R&D at Beiersdorf.
Peter Shaw,
Managing Director of Salvalco, adds: “Our Eco-Valve technology allows brands,
such as NIVEA, to meet increasing consumer demand for more sustainable aerosol
solutions supporting a climate-friendlier lifestyle. We are delighted to see
that an iconic global brand such as NIVEA is leading the way with our
technology.”
