Making cosmetic packaging with recycled plastic can avoid
between 50% to 70% of CO2 emissions compared to a standard bottle.
Veolia (Paris:VIE) and L'Oréal have joined forces to reduce the
carbon footprint of cosmetic packaging in a circular economy
approach. Veolia will thus supply high-quality recycled plastic for
L'Oréal's packaging worldwide.
The recycled plastic will be obtained after processing the
plastic material present in waste derived from consumer packaging,
especially plastic bottles. These must be collected specifically to
ensure the purity of the material and require specific processing
tools.
In addition, to guarantee maximum health safety for consumers,
this recycled plastic used to produce new cosmetic packaging,
complies with food industry requirements and is subject to very
demanding certifications.
In order to meet international certifications*, Veolia has
adopted an innovative pelletisation technology based on a system
for the elimination of organic compounds to obtain very
high-quality plastic, which is currently in very high demand
worldwide. The process developed by Veolia makes it possible to
obtain a quality equivalent to that of virgin plastic.
Johann Bonnet, Vice-President in charge of Business
Development and Strategic Accounts at Veolia declared: “As a
global champion of ecological transformation, Veolia is committed
to reducing plastic waste and to promoting industrial ecology. We
are delighted to support L'Oréal in achieving its sustainable
development objectives, by providing our know-how in resource
recovery and recycling. Our ambition is to be a privileged partner
for all international brands wishing to develop sustainable
packaging processes using recycled plastic all over the world in
order to meet the major environmental challenges that face us
all."
Jacques Playe, Packaging and Development Director of L'Oréal
also declared: "We are pleased to enter into this partnership
with Veolia for the supplying of very high-quality recycled plastic
dedicated to cosmetic packaging, because we share the same
ambitions and values in terms of sustainable development. This will
contribute to our sustainable development programme “L'Oréal for
the Future”, enabling us to achieve our 2030 ambitions and
significantly improve the environmental footprint of our packaging.
We are convinced that we will succeed in promoting the circular
economy if we join forces with expert partners to attain common
objectives. This approach can be referred to as working in an
extended ecosystem."
