11 Jul 2022 --- Kao is integrating chemically recycled PET by PET Refine Technology, a subsidiary of Jeplan, into the inner plate of the company’s compact powder foundations. In July this year, Kao aims to gradually introduce chemically recycled PET into its packaging solutions. The recycling process includes chemically breaking down discarded PET materials to eliminate impurities before recycling them and using them as the raw material for PET resin. The companies claim that this technique is advantageous since the material can be recreated with the same physical properties and quality as those derived from petroleum.
