BOTTLESS targets Southeast Asia with refillable airless packaging

BOTTLESS serves global cosmetics, personal care, and consumer goods brands committed to reducing plastic waste. The company develops refillable airless packaging systems including the patented Airless Pak Mono which will be showcased at Echelon Singapore 2026, a technology and innovation summit, held on 3–4 June. Located at Pavilion P1 of the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, the company will exhibit as part of the Shinhan S²BRIDGE delegation.

The Airless Pak Mono is a patented refillable airless packaging system built on a mono-material construction for simplified recycling and developed for skincare, cosmetics, personal care, and other liquid formulations. The system pairs a reusable airless dispenser with an ultra-light refill pouch — replacing a 112-gram conventional airless container with an 8.8-gram refill, a roughly 90% reduction in plastic per refill cycle. Each dispenser is engineered for more than 20 refills, helping brands progress toward circular economy targets and align with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).

The technology is protected by five patents, including a granted U.S. patent. Airless Pak Mono was selected as a 2025 Sustainability Awards finalist by Packaging Europe, and BOTTLESS won the 2025 Prime Time Pitch Challenge. The company is also a member of the Solar Impulse Foundation's World Alliance of clean-tech solutions.

"Southeast Asia is one of the fastest-growing beauty and personal care markets, and it is also on the frontline of the global plastic challenge," said Chiwon Yi, Founder and CEO of BOTTLESS. "Echelon Singapore is the right place to meet the brands, investors, and partners who want to make refilling the default — not the exception."

BOTTLESS commercially launched Airless Pak Mono in 2025 with French and Korean cosmetic brands and is currently expanding pilots across Europe and Asia. During the conference, the team will hold partnership meetings with Southeast Asian beauty brands, contract manufacturers, and retail groups exploring refillable formats.

Echelon Singapore 2026, organized by e27, brings together founders, investors, enterprises, and policymakers from across Asia-Pacific to translate frontier technology into real-world deployment. Visitors are invited to experience Airless Pak Mono in person at Pavilion P1 on both days of the event.
