International beauty major L’Oréal has co-developed a plastic cosmetics bottle with French biotech specialist Carbios, made using fully recycled PET via an enzymatic recycling technology that also makes it infinitely recyclable.
South Korean firm FSKorea sees strong need for recyclable make-up brushes to keep up with rising demand for sustainable beauty products – and has shed light on a raft of projects that are helping it meet its eco goals.
