US-headquartered cosmetic company REN Clean Skincare has used American company Aptar Beauty and Home’s recycled plastic beauty packaging for its product.
The packaging was selected for the relaunch of REN Clean Skincare’s moisturiser Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream.
It has been certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC).
The material is made from recycled plastic resin supplied by petrochemical manufacturing company SABIC. It was made by converting post-consumer, low-grade plastic waste. The converted virgin plastic has been audited and approved for use by the ISCC.
Sabic’s new circular certified plastic has been used for all the polypropylene parts in the product’s packaging.
The eco-designed airless packaged bottle was produced at Aptar’s plant in Villingen, Germany following the receipt of an International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS) for the site. Aptar noted that ‘the bottle is recyclable at end of its life’.
