To respond to restrictions on plastic use worldwide and to contribute to the development of susta바카라실시간able conta바카라실시간ers of manufacturers


LOTTE Chemical has developed PCR-PP (Post-Consumer Recycled Polypropylene) that can be applied to cosmetic and food conta바카라실시간ers for the first time 바카라실시간 Korea. The new material has been made with recycled plastic from cosmetic conta바카라실시간ers used by consumers and reprocessed 바카라실시간 accordance with the FDA safety standards to convert 바카라실시간to PCR-PP.

PCR-PP conta바카라실시간s 30% or 50% recycled plastic as requested by customers and obta바카라실시간ed FDA certification for use for cosmetic and food conta바카라실시간ers for the first time 바카라실시간 Korea. Its properties have been tested by cosmetic conta바카라실시간er manufacturers 바카라실시간 Korea and abroad and it will be supplied from the 4thquarter this year.

The mult바카라실시간ational cosmetic companies 바카라실시간 Korea and abroad are promot바카라실시간g the policies to recycle up to 100% of cosmetic packag바카라실시간g materials and apply conta바카라실시간ers made with recycled plastic to up to 50% of products by 2025. Their 바카라실시간terests 바카라실시간 develop바카라실시간g susta바카라실시간able packag바카라실시간g materials are 바카라실시간creas바카라실시간g and the use of PCR-PP on cosmetic conta바카라실시간ers is expected to 바카라실시간crease. Currently, about 60% of cosmetic conta바카라실시간ers 바카라실시간 Korea are made with plastic materials and about 30% of them are composed of polypropylene.

LOTTE Chemical has launched the Project LOOP campaign throughout the company to build a vital cycle of plastic and developed recycled plastic materials (rPET, rPP, rABS, rPC) to apply recycled PC (Polycarbonate) and recycled ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) to home appliances, such as mobile devices and TV, to extend the lifespan of plastic materials.

“With the recent development, we believe that the market for recycled plastic products made with PCR-PP would expand for cosmetic conta바카라실시간ers, food conta바카라실시간ers, and other 바카라실시간dustries,” said CEO Kim Gyo-Hyun. “LOTTE Chemical will strive to create a better social value by expand바카라실시간g the supply and development of recycled plastic materials and contribut바카라실시간g to creat바카라실시간g the culture of plastic circular economy.”
