INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe has introduced a new polypropylene grade, rPP1025C, designed to incorporate 70% recycled material.<\/p>\n

The product is aimed at use in contact-sensitive packaging for cosmetics, providing a solution for brands seeking higher recycled content without having to make changes to their packaging standards or performance requirements.<\/p>\n

The rPP1025C grade is produced by blending mechanically recycled plastics with specially developed \u201cbooster\u201d polymers.<\/p>\n

The resulting material is intended to match the performance of conventional polypropylene in terms of strength, appearance and manufacturing efficiency, while offering a reduced carbon footprint, noted the company.<\/p>\n

INEOS reports a 35% reduction compared to virgin materials.<\/p>\n

This polypropylene is natural in colour and suitable for thin-walled injection moulding, as well as fibre extrusion processes.<\/p>\n

Typical applications are expected to include packaging items such as screw caps, jars and lids, mascara tubes and caps, deodorant applicators, and various dispensing components.<\/p>\n

Key technical features highlighted by the company include rigidity for shape retention, high heat resistance for maintaining shelf life and product stability, scratch resistance and the capacity to take on a wide range of colours without loss of quality.<\/p>\n

The product has received compliance confirmation through an FDA No Objection Letter (NOL) and certification from RecyClass as post-consumer recyclate under ISO 14021 environmental labelling standards.<\/p>\n

rPP1025C is the second Recycl-IN hybrid grade that INEOS has developed specifically for the cosmetics packaging market, following an earlier launch of rPP2030C.<\/p>\n

The broader Recycl-IN portfolio includes ready-made polyolefin compounds suitable for use in other sectors such as automotive, construction, drainage, sports venues, storage solutions and textiles.<\/p>\n

In a separate development, INEOS announced last month a \u00a3150m ($205m) investment at its facility in Grangemouth, UK, to upgrade production units, enhance energy efficiency, and cut emissions.<\/p>\n
