Shaping Ideas Naturally

Our DNA has 45 years of experience in the field of closures for food and beverages: a long time, years of challenges to offer the right closure for any type of liquid, years spent on research, attempts, reached goals and targets to pursue.

The baggage of this long journey is a profound know-how in the field of natural and plastic materials, an high tech plant, a true love for design, the passion and inexhaustible curiosity towards the new sectors that increasingly, in the course of time, have approached us and inspired us new ideas. Plenty of ideas!

Livingcap was born in 2004 just to dedicate the right attention to these ideas, to give them a shape and a body, to make them design objects, exciting and captivating.

Philosophy

Much more than simply inspired by nature

We love beauty, the harmony of nature that surrounds us.

We’re lucky: everyday, from our windows, we can observe the succession of seasons, our beloved hills rich of colorful woods, snow-capped mountains. All this is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for us.

Thus we develop and select materials with natural elements, we project objects that shall be sure, comfortable, pleasant and harmonious as all things created by nature. Every project shall be feasible by means of sustainable, low-impact productive processes.

The sharing of this value is the essential starting point of all our partnerships.

Materials

LET’S CREATE OBJECTS AS THEY WERE FORGED BY NATURE

One of the fundamental tasks of our R&D team is selecting and developing materials that shall reflect our sensitivity towards our planet.

So they are projected to reduce drastically their impact on the environment,and their look is natural as if they were forged by nature itself.

Wood

We love it because it instils a sense of elegance, refinement, warmth.

A wooden object is always exclusive: each piece has its identity, its texture is unique and not replicable. A perfect material for those who want to stand out.

Select with us the most suitable essences for your product, then we will obtain even more original effects through our numberless customization techniques.

Cork

It all starts in the mediterranean basin, where the cork oak grows spontaneously.

In the Montado, the cork oak forest in portuguese, the cork is obtained from the bark of the tree.An handmade process, done exclusively in specific periods of the life of the oak, just when it is absolutely certain that no damage will be caused to this precious tree. Thus we obtain a natural, biodegradable and sustainable material, an unlimited source of possible applications.

We appreciate it for its agreeable look, its softness, its versatility and especially because it’s a clear example of how we can work in harmony with nature, benefitting from it gifts without harming it.

Cork is available in several finishings: the precious natural mono pieced cork, the versatile agglomerate cork and micro agglomerate cork, made by micro grains.

Mixcycling®

Global data on the presence of plastic waste in our planet are shocking: 8 million metric tons of plastic winds up in our oceans each year.

The decrease of the use of plastic and the recycling of production scraps are a priority for us.

Our Mixcycling® blends are the outcome of this strong exigence: plastic materials biodegradable or recyclable mixed with organic production scraps to which we give a second life.

Generally Mixcycling® blends can be used in all injection or extrusion moulding machines, thus, you have the opportunity of introducing innovative eco friendly materials with minimum investments

Project development

We like imagining our R&D team in the guise of a tailor sewing a made-to-measure dress for a beautiful idea.

To reach the result, first of all we consider the disposition of the idea, then we study which of its aspects it wish to enhance, which parts it wants to protect, which materials it wants to dress, the lines that suit it best, how the idea wants to be perceived by the market.

During this creative process our customer is constantly involved:

1. Idea

2. Materials

3. Technology

4. Design

5. Review

6. Sample

7. Market

Applications

...just need to be invented

We are always excited when we have the opportunity of taking different routes with our materials, we love exploring different sectors, inventing new applications with our customers.

But our goal shall be always clear and well-defined: to create high level design object, with a natural soul, pleasant to the sight and to the touch, and, above all, respectful to our planet.

Cosmetics & Fragrances

Sustainability, safety, naturalness, beauty and comfort: these are the basics that inspire our creations for cosmetic packaging.

We create closures, coverings, decorations on containers already existing or in the planning phase, and we are always ready to evaluate partnerships for the development of new articles with our eco friendly materials.

Food

Food packaging plays a role of utmost importance: it must preserve it safely. We believe that packaging shall be captivating and comfortable too.

Thus, for our closures and accessories for food, we select safe and certified materials and we pay close attention to design too.

Mixcycling® partnership

To give life to ideas and make them successful products, it’s necessary to embrace a new concept of partnership based on sharing.

A sharing of experiences.

Actually, very often, special projects demand a continuous and inspiring exchange of know how with our partners.In some cases, for technical exigencies, the production can be made directly on your plant.

This doesn’t represent a complication: our Mixcycling® blends are generally applicable in all machines of injection or extrusion moulding and you’ll be trained and supported by our team in each phase of the productive process.

You’ll have the opportunity of introducing our innovative eco friendly materials with minimum investments.
