Prestige Japanese beauty brand SUQQU launched a pressed setting powder product in a compact crafted from Eastman Cristal One copolyester, combining a luxury aesthetic with alternative materials for enhanced durability and sustainability. Unlike some beauty component materials, which are beautiful to look at yet difficult to properly dispose of at the end of their useful life, this copolyester can go directly into most municipal recycling systems.
"Consumers are increasingly expecting brands to deliver sustainable options for their beauty products but are unwilling to give up on the elegance and design aspects of the package," said Tara Cary, Eastman marketing manager for cosmetic packaging. "By adopting materials like Cristal One, brands like SUQQU meet these aesthetic demands and also contribute to environmental responsibility."
What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- High-end beauty products are increasingly utilizing eco-friendly materials that maintain a luxurious look and feel, raising the industry standard for sustainability.
- Consumer-driven Recycling Solutions
- With a growing preference for environmentally friendly products, brands are focusing on materials that easily integrate into existing recycling systems.
Sectors Adopting This
- Cosmetic Packaging
- The cosmetic packaging industry is shifting towards sustainable solutions, offering new opportunities for materials that meet luxury and ecological standards.
- Recycling and Waste Management
- Recycling and waste management sectors can capitalize on the demand for products that are compatible with existing recycling infrastructures.
