-Development of Container with 70% Recycling Ratio with Global Cosmetics Container Company Toly
-Exhibition of Recycling Ratio Cosmetics Container at Luxepack Monaco Exhibition
SK Chemicals is working with a global cosmetics container company to increase the recyclability of cosmetics containers.
SK Chemicals (CEO: Jae-hyun Ahn) announced on the 10th that it presented a cosmetics container with a high recycling ratio with global cosmetics container company Toly at Luxepack Monaco 2024, which successfully concluded on the 2nd in Monaco, France.
Tolly is a global cosmetics container company headquartered in Malta, Europe, and is a packaging specialist that supplies product containers for luxury cosmetics brands in Europe, North America, and Asia.
The cosmetics container unveiled this time is a compact case using SK Chemicals' material ECOTRIA CLARO. After developing a product with a 50% recycled content last year, this year the recycled content has been increased to 70%.
ECOTRIA is a brand that refers to high-functionality copolyester containing recycled raw materials, and CLARO is a name given to copolyester that can be classified as PET and recycled after use. The company explains that the ECOTRIA CLARO unveiled this time is the most ideal recycled material that can build a complete plastic closed loop system because it uses waste plastic as a raw material and can be used again as a raw material for recycled plastic after use.
Ecotria Claro uses a depolymerization-based circular recycling technology that breaks down waste plastic into molecules and recycles it as raw materials, rather than a physical recycling method that crushes and reprocesses it, so it can implement the same properties as petroleum-based materials, such as transparency, processability, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. As a result, the company explained that even if the specific gravity is increased to 70%, it can exhibit the same quality as existing materials.
Kim Eung-soo, head of the Green Materials Business Division at SK Chemicals, said, “There is a prejudice in the market that a high proportion of recycled raw materials can lead to poor quality, but we expect that the cosmetic containers made of circular recycled materials developed with Tolly will be able to resolve such concerns,” adding, “In the future, we will expand the use of recycled materials in various fields and build a sustainable circular recycling ecosystem through collaboration with brand owners based on various sustainable material solutions.”
