Product Description
Cristal™ Renew copolyester EN067-50 is a copolyester designed to be fully compatible with the PET recycling stream. Thus, it enables brand owners to achieve recyclable cosmetics packaging with a combination of good color and high clarity for molded parts with an RIC1 resin. This product is suitable for thinner-walled molded parts for the cosmetics and personal care market.
Cristal™ Renew EN067-50 meets the definition of resin identification code #1 (RIC1) as defined by California Assembly Bill (#906) and by ASTM D7611. Other end-product attributes, including but not limited to size, color, auxiliary components, and availability of collection, may also impact recyclability.
Eastman Renew polymers have been certified by International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), a global, independent agency for tracking sustainable content in a variety of industries. Renew polymers are produced with ISCC-certified recycled content by mass balance allocation.
Renew polymers enable brand owners to reduce consumption of fossil feedstock-based plastics, achieve sustainability targets without compromise, and be a fast mover in a growing market for sustainable consumer products.
