TUBEX Cans and Respray have been honoured with a prestigious WorldStar Award and the coveted Special Sustainability Award in Gold.
The WorldStar Award Ceremony, held on 30 May in Milan, Italy, marked a significant achievement for both companies, as they received international recognition for their collaboration in sustainable packaging.
TUBEX and the Hungarian start-up Respray were awarded in the Health and Personal Care category of the WorldStar Awards, and were the only recipients of the exclusive Gold Special Award in Sustainability - an honour bestowed upon just one of four companies nominated globally.
Their success stems from a holistic approach to sustainability. TUBEX supplies its patented lightweight Neucan 3.1 aluminium cans, made with real PCR® content, exclusively to Respray. Meanwhile, Respray has developed an innovative refill system designed to rethink the single-use model for everyday products like deodorant.
Rather than discarding a can after one use, Respray’s smart technology allows customers to refill their deodorant up to five times at the point of sale, using compressed air instead of conventional LPG propellants. The result is significantly reduced waste, lower carbon emissions, and a genuinely circular consumer experience.
The WorldStar Awards are regarded as very prestigious within the packaging industry. To qualify, entries must already have won a national or regional award. This year’s competition saw 550 entries from 40 countries, with just 260 winners across 24 categories.
