CTK's Eco Pact, an Eco-Friendly Cosmetic Container Patent

[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] Cosmetics platform company CTK has obtained a patent on the 9th for its eco-friendly cosmetic container "Eco Pact," which is easy to separate and dispose of by component, making recycling simple.

"Eco Pact" is a new product developed by the Package Innovation Lab within CTK, which designs and develops cosmetic container technology. The "Eco Pact" developed by CTK features a structure where parts are fixed without adhesives. Components such as plastic, mirrors, and metal trays can be easily separated and disposed of as recyclable waste.

In particular, the plastic, which accounts for the largest portion of the pact, is made from recyclable PET material and recycled PET (PCR PET). Because the parts are easy to separate and refilling is simple, the pact can also be reused.

Containers used for existing powder and cushion products, called pacts, use adhesives such as glue and double-sided tape to attach mirrors and components. Products made this way are difficult to separate and dispose of, so they are discarded as general waste after use.

Lee Won, Vice President in charge of the Package Innovation Lab, said, "CTK's Eco Pact, which is easy for both recycling and refilling, is receiving a lot of attention from domestic and international brands advocating 'clean beauty.' We plan to continue research and development to introduce innovative eco-friendly containers like the Eco Pact."

CTK is leading ESG management practices not only by developing eco-friendly cosmetic containers but also by developing biodegradable plastics that completely decompose in the natural environment through its subsidiary CTK Bio Canada.
