Get greener without a price premium with a sprayer made from 67% recycled material.
Hit your sustainability goals with AFA’s OpUs® Verte+
Meet OpUs® Verte+: the new, eco-friendly addition to the OpUs® range
Liquid dispensing players need to deliver eco-friendly options to meet today’s demanding planet-conscious consumers, their own sustainability goals, and changing legislation and regulatory requirements, such as new plastic packaging tax that has been introduced in the United Kingdom (UK). How can the industry turn away from plastic, which often ends up in landfills or the ocean, and reduce waste?
Introducing OpUs® Verte+: an eco-friendly trigger sprayer designed to elevate your brand’s sustainability performance. Produced by AFA Dispensing, OpUs® Verte+ is made from 67% post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin, the highest percentage in AFA’s portfolio so far - and one of the highest on today’s market- and higher than the plastic tax’s 30% requirement. This solution allows you to cut plastic waste and reduce your brand’s environmental impact, all without a price premium or loss of quality. As the exclusive distributor of OpUs® Verte+ in the UK, Nexus Packaging is thrilled to offer this next-gen solution to our customers.
For manufacturers looking to reduce their environmental impact, OpUs® Verte+ offers multiple benefits. Here are 5:
OpUs® Verte+ contains no metal springs, with the PCR spread across the entire weight of the trigger. At the same time, it offers exceptional spray patterns and performance without a price premium.
OpUs® Verte+ is highly durable, maintaining the high performance of previous models. Using virgin resin in certain components extends its lifespan to over 10,000 strokes, allowing one sprayer to be reused for up to 27 bottles of 500 ml liquid.
With versatile design options, you can harness OpUs® Verte+ to create eye-catching solutions. There are a wide range of PCR colors available, and there is the option to color match too.
With the UK’s plastic packaging tax hitting any products with less than 30% recycled content, at a rate of £217.85 per tonne from April 1, 2024, adopting eco-friendly materials isn’t just essential for the planet, it’s good for your accounts too. With 67% recycled material, OpUs® Verte+ is comfortably above the limit, ensuring you’re ready for any additional legislative changes.
As a UK customer, we can supply you with OpUs® Verte+ from our stock, saving you from potential import taxes and eliminating intercontinental shipping costs.
For every liquid dispensing player today, the reasons to adopt sustainable solutions can't be ignored: from meeting consumer demands to beating new taxes and legislation, or caring for the planet.
That’s why a sophisticated, sustainable device like OpUs® Verte+, which reduces plastic waste without a price premium, is another step forward for our industry.
