Guidelines for Energy Efficiency in the cosmetics industry

During manufacturing of cosmetic products, costs, resources and energy can be saved through modern and skillful process management, new methods and recipes as well as systematic process optimization.

Overview

According to industry experts, this potential is often not fully exploited. Within this project, the industry knowledge that is already available is being processed with the support of the universities and made available to the Swiss cosmetics industry.

In cooperation with the ZHAW, Petra Huber, and their expertise in formulation technology, rheological analysis and sensor technology, we support companies in the cosmetics industry in the implementation of energy-optimized formulations in development, scale-up and production. Results and findings are described in Guidelines for the cosmetics industry. A 10 K temperature reduction during production means up to 30% energy savings. The project is supported by Energie Schweiz.
