08 Dec 2021 --- Veolia has secured a high-quality recycled plastic supply deal with L’Oréal for the cosmetics company’s packaging worldwide. The waste management specialist notes recycled plastic can reduce carbon emissions by 50% to 70% against standard bottles. “The plastic we furnish to L’Oréal is high-density polyethylene (HDPE) ‘food-grade,’” a Veolia spokesperson tells PackagingInsights. “We have brought together the best mechanical recycling technologies on the market, thorough washing, high-performance extrusion, and a degassing step.”“Combined with perfect control of the feedstock and the necessary additional sorting and control steps, we obtain a resin of exceptional quality, which is appreciated by our customer and has nothing to envy of a virgin resin.”The recycled plastic will be obtained by recycling the plastic material found in consumer packaging waste, especially plastic bottles.
