[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Cosmecca Korea, a cosmetics manufacturing and development company, announced on the 7th that it has signed a business agreement with eco-friendly packaging company Eco Package Solution (EPS) to develop fully decomposable high-heat resistant biodegradable cosmetic containers.

Through this agreement, both companies plan to lead the commercialization and distribution of high-performance cosmetic containers using PLA (an eco-friendly resin made from corn and sugarcane) in the domestic and international cosmetics markets by exchanging technologies in the future.

Eco Package Solution is a subsidiary of Sansu Beverage, a bottled water specialist company, and is engaged in the development of eco-friendly packaging materials. Last year, it succeeded in developing the world's first bottled water made entirely of PLA material that is 100% fully biodegradable, including the container, label, and cap.

PLA bottled water completely decomposes into water, carbon dioxide, and high-quality compost within 180 days when buried under specific conditions. Sansu Beverage's PLA bottled water products emit more than 80% less carbon compared to regular PET bottled water.

Cosmecca Korea will apply Eco Package Solution's PLA compound and biodegradable material processing technology to develop high-performance eco-friendly cosmetic containers with aesthetics, compatibility with contents, stability, and high heat resistance. Additionally, reflecting the high demand for eco-friendly containers from domestic and international clients, they plan to rapidly mass-produce these products.

Meanwhile, in August, Cosmecca Korea signed a business agreement with SABIC Korea and began developing eco-friendly cosmetic containers using PCR (eco-friendly materials made by recycling waste plastic) technology. Going forward, the company intends to contribute to building a recycling ecosystem in the cosmetics industry by developing eco-friendly containers applying various source technologies.
