INEOS launches new grade with 70% recycled content for cosmetics packaging
INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe launches a new Recycl-IN hybrid polymer grade containing 70% recycled material, designed to boost sustainability of contact-sensitive cosmetics packaging without compromising on quality or performance.
INEOS launches new Recycl-IN hybrid polymer grade with 70% recycled material.
Recycl-IN hybrid polymers features strength, aesthetics, and processing ease in cosmetic packaging, with significantly increasing recycled content and reducing CO2 emissions. This is achieved by combining high levels of mechanically recycled plastic with advanced “booster” polymers.
The new grade – rPP1025C – delivers stiffness for shape retention, premium feel, and reliable functionality, as well as scratch resistance and heat resistance for product stability and shelf life.
Designed for thin-walled injection molding and fiber extrusion, the natural colour polypropylene homopolymer is ideal for manufacturing stiff, coloured or translucent components such as:
Screw caps, jars, and lids
Mascara reservoirs and caps
Deodorant roller balls
Spray-over caps and dispenser parts
New Recycl-IN hybrid polymer grade is ideal for cosmetic packaging.
Like all INEOS Recycl-IN grades, rPP1025C is a true drop-in solution with comparable to the qualities of virgin polypropylene, while delivering a 35% lower carbon footprint.
To ensure safety and compliance, the recycled materials are covered by an FDA No Objection Letter (NOL) and certified as Post-Consumer Recyclate (PCR) by RecyClass, in line with ISO 14021 environmental labelling standards.
This launch marks the second Recycl-IN hybrid grade that INEOS have developed for cosmetics packaging, building on the success of rPP2030C. INEOS offers a range of Recycl-IN hybrid ready-made polyolefin compounds for rigid and flexible applications in sectors such as automotive, construction, drainage systems, packaging, sports stadiums, storage and textiles.
