PCR recyclates for the highest demands in the cosmetics industry02.04.2024

High-quality material from WIS for use in the cosmetics industry

Recently, several of the company's recyclates from 100% post-consumer collections were approved for applications in the cosmetics industry.

With PreFin® F (polyethylene) and PreProp® F (polypropylene), WIS Kunststoffe GmbH now has recyclates that have been certified for applications in the cosmetics sector. According to the test report, the PP and PE materials are suitable for leave-on and rinse-off products. The examination of the granulates showed that they meet the requirements of the statutory regulations and are therefore suitable as a raw material for primary packaging in the cosmetics industry. PreFin F and PreProp F can therefore be used for the packaging of shower gel or shampoo (rinse-off), as well as skin creams or body lotions (leave-on), for example. The materials can be processed by injection molding, extrusion and blow molding.

 

New possibilities with recyclate

Daniel Römhild, Sales Manager and authorized signatory at WIS Kunststoffe, explains: “The demand for high-purity recyclates is constantly increasing and this trend will continue. More and more consumers and companies are attaching importance to resource conservation and a low CO2 footprint. We want to take this development into account and open up new application markets for our customers with our high-quality, certified PCR recyclates. The production of translucent and bright, luminous applications is also possible with the new materials. We only use used plastics from the packaging stream in some cases, but have secured other sources of raw materials for the long term. In the future, we want to further expand our portfolio of sustainable polymers and add additional certified product groups, such as ABS, polyamide, polystyrene, polycarbonate and POM. We already offer a wide range of recyclates and bio-based plastics. We are particularly proud of our company's EuCertPlast certification. This officially confirms that WIS Kunststoffe handles post-consumer plastics according to best practice and with respect for the environment. The EuCertPlast certification is the prerequisite for producing products with the Blue Angel from our recyclates - an important argument for environmentally conscious plastics processors.”

High purity - high safety

According to the tests, the materials meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 and Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 and are therefore approved as primary packaging material for cosmetic products for the intended use (make-up remover pads (lotion and oil; leave-on), nail polish remover pads (leave-on) and peeling pads (leave-on); pack size 100 ml) as well as other specific applications. The assessment is partly based on the requirements for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011.

 


The materials specialists at WIS Kunststoffe are currently working on recyclates with approval for applications in the field of toys (in accordance with EN 71-3) and food contact.
