LyondellBasell, Albéa Tubes and L’OCCITANE en Provence have recently launched groundbreaking cosmetic tubes and caps for L’OCCITANE en Provence’s “almond” range to support the circular economy. The packaging is made by Albéa Tubes with CirculenRevive polymers from LyondellBasell.

“We are excited to work with Albéa Tubes and L’OCCITANE en Provence on this project and to contribute to circular cosmetic packaging solutions,” commented Richard Roudeix, LyondellBasell's Senior Vice President of Olefins and Polyolefins for Europe, Middle East, Africa and India.

LyondellBasell, Plastic Energy, Albéa Tubes and L’OCCITANE en Provence introduce new circular cosmetic packaging.

He said that the CirculenRevive products are part of LyondellBasell's Circulen product range of sustainable solutions. The source materials come from Plastic Energy’s recycled oils, branded under the name TACOIL, and are then allocated to the product for tubes and caps using a mass balance approach.

A lifecycle analysis conducted by independent sustainability consultants concluded that plastics made from Plastic Energy’s TACOIL have a lower climate change impact than virgin plastic.

“Advanced recycling can effectively process contaminated or multi-layered plastics and films that pose challenges for mechanical recycling, making it a complementary solution to help address global plastic waste,” stated Carlos Monreal, Founder and CEO of Plastic Energy. “Our advanced recycling process transforms these difficult to recycle plastics into TACOIL, a virgin quality feedstock meeting standards for use in food-grade, medical-grade and cosmetic packaging.”
