Upcycled waste cosmetics into printing ink Moongata's ecosme ink

 Morngata has succeeded in developing "ecosme ink", a printing ink that takes advantage of the unique texture of cosmetics. It is said to be a new upcycling initiative that applies waste cosmetics to printing technology.

Many cosmetics manufacturers and colorants manufacturers have no choice but to dispose of bulk cosmetics (the contents of cosmetics before being filled into individual containers) that are generated in the research and development process or cannot be put on the market in order to maintain quality. It has been treated as waste. In addition, compared to the recycling of empty cosmetic containers, the reuse of cosmetic bulk products was limited.


Therefore, the company constructed a method to apply it to printing as a cosmetic-derived ink color material that reuses cosmetics. Developed by the company and Toppan Printing in collaboration with Toyo Ink, a promotional tool prototype was created using ecosme ink, which is manufactured from recycled bulk cosmetics. It is said that it is possible to create a unique decorative expression due to the lamé and pearliness of cosmetics, which is not possible with conventional inks.

Morngata collects and collectively manages unnecessary cosmetics bulk and products from cosmetics manufacturers (currently 7 companies), cosmetics testers scheduled to be discarded from cosmetics retail stores, and general consumer waste cosmetics collected at department stores. ing.


In addition, for printing ink, we play a role as a management hub for discarded cosmetic bulk, and provide bulk suitable for printing ink to Toppan Printing. In addition, Toppan Printing produces promotional items and materials using ink manufactured by consignment to Toyo Ink, and is promoting sales to cosmetics manufacturers.
