KANEBO selects Eastman resin for premium packaging
Eastman Chemical’s Cristal One IM812 specialty PET resin was selected by Japan’s KANEBO for the overcap of its Generating Essentials Treatment Lotion.
Material choice supports a thick-walled black cap design, meeting drop-impact requirements while retaining strength after post-mold painting.
KANEBO cited recyclability in the PET stream, positioning the packaging for potential future alignment with EU PPWR expectations.
Kao, KANEBO’s parent, has a long-standing partnership with Eastman focused on materials development and technical support for premium cosmetic packaging.
