Regenerating PET bottles from PET bottles, Kao begins a demonstration experiment of horizontal recycling

 Kao Corporation announced that it will start a demonstration experiment of "horizontal recycling" to recycle used PET bottles into bottles again. The target is bottles of some cosmetics handled at AEON directly managed stores and AEON MALL in the Kanto area. Bottle-to-bottle regeneration is not widespread because it is technically difficult to reproduce quality. The company has embarked on an initiative to achieve horizontal recycling by collaborating with companies that have chemical recycling technology.

Bottle containers made of pet materials such as lotion, milky lotion, and shampoo are targeted.

Products made from recycled plastic bottles are generally clothing fibers and food trays. Cosmetic bottles are colored and decorated, making it difficult to recycle into pet materials in packaging.

This time, Kao will collaborate with JEPLAN, Inc. and work on a horizontal recycling demonstration experiment of "bottle-to-bottle" cosmetics using the company's chemical recycling technology "BRING Technology".

Recycling technologies include chemical recycling and mechanical recycling. Chemical recycling is a technology that crushes and cleans collected bottles, refines them into pet resin by chemical treatment, and manufactures pet resin again.
