PET Clear is a high-value material with the same chemical composition as regular PET, offering excellent recyclability and improved transparency. Based on its superior moldability and eco-friendliness, it can replace transparent materials that are difficult to recycle in cosmetic containers, electronic products, and reusable containers.

Lotte Chemical launched the eco-friendly material PET Clear last year in response to global cosmetic brands and beverage companies' demand for recyclable eco-friendly materials. Global cosmetic companies require third-party certification for recyclable materials, and Lotte Chemical proactively obtained this certification to meet those demands.

Meanwhile, in July, Lotte Chemical signed a business agreement with Permtek Korea to develop and commercialize cosmetic packaging products using eco-friendly materials to establish a plastic circular platform in the cosmetics market.
