According to the Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report, CJ CheilJedang of South Korea recently announced that its subsidiary CJ Biomaterials, Inc. has successfully developed cosmetics packaging for CJ Olive Young. This new cosmetic box uses the combination of CJ Biomaterials' amorphous PHA and polylactic acid (PLA), and is used in the makeup series WAKEMAKE water velvet matt concealer air cushion powder under CJ Olive Young brand. It was launched in South Korea on December 21. Except for the inner container and mirror, the entire outer container uses biodegradable materials. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

As a bio based material, PLA has experienced significant growth in the extensive application of finished products. At present, PLA is the most widely used industrial compostable material in the world, but it has certain limitations. Adding amorphous PHA to PLA can significantly improve the mechanical properties of PLA, such as toughness and ductility, thereby improving impact resistance and creating elegant shapes. CJ Biomaterials' amorphous PHA is a softer and more rubber PHA, which has different performance characteristics from the crystalline or semi crystalline form currently dominating the PHA market.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer (ABS) is now widely used in cosmetics containers. Some developed countries and leading cosmetics brands are actively trying to replace this petroleum based, non biodegradable plastic. Apply 100% bio based amorphous PHA and PLA materials to the entire exterior of WAKEMAKE container, replacing ABS. Now is the right time to introduce a more environmentally friendly package, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

Seung Jin Lee, head of CJ CheilJedang's biomaterials business, said: "This is an important milestone for CJ biomaterials, and we expect that the application prospect of bio based materials in FMCG is promising. The company hopes to widely promote the use of PHA in various markets to meet the growing demand of brands and consumers."
