- Recycl-IN grade contains 70% recycled material and reduces carbon footprint by 35%.
- The product is a natural color polypropylene homopolymer for injection molding and fiber extrusion.
- Recycled materials are FDA approved and certified as Post-Consumer Recyclate by RecyClass.
- rPP1025C is the second Recycl-IN hybrid grade developed for cosmetics packaging.
Product Launch
INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe has introduced a new Recycl-IN hybrid polymer grade, rPP1025C, containing 70% recycled material. This product aims to enhance the sustainability of contact-sensitive cosmetics packaging without sacrificing quality or performance.
Key Features
The Recycl-IN grade offers a 35% reduction in carbon footprint while maintaining mechanical strength, optical properties, and ease of processing comparable to virgin polymers. It is designed for thin-walled injection molding and fiber extrusion, making it suitable for various packaging components like screw caps, jars, and deodorant roller balls.
Certifications and Compliance
The recycled materials used in rPP1025C are covered by an FDA No Objection Letter and certified as Post-Consumer Recyclate by RecyClass, adhering to ISO 14021 environmental labeling standards. This ensures safety and compliance for use in cosmetics packaging.
Product Attributes
rPP1025C offers stiffness for shape retention and a premium feel, heat resistance for product stability, and scratch resistance to maintain a pristine appearance. Its natural color reduces costs and simplifies recycling, while its virgin-quality colorability allows for a wide range of design options.
Expansion of Recycl-IN Range
This launch marks the second Recycl-IN hybrid grade developed for cosmetics packaging, following the success of rPP2030C. INEOS continues to expand its range of Recycl-IN hybrid polyolefin compounds for various applications across different sectors.
