■ LG Chem to introduce eco-friendly portfolio to help the beauty industry reduce carbon emissions and solve problems caused by waste plastics
 
■ Sustainable cosmetic containers and recyclable packaging films to be displayed
 
 
SEOUL, March 14, 2025 – LG Chem announced today it will showcase its eco-friendly packaging solutions for the beauty industry at Cosmoprof Worldwide 2025, from March 20-23 in Bologna, Italy, reaffirming its commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation.
 
Cosmoprof is the world’s largest trade fair for the cosmetics and beauty industry, attracting nearly 3,000 companies worldwide.
 
LG Chem will display its extensive portfolio of sustainable materials, from containers to packaging films made of eco-friendly raw materials, at the Eco Zone prepared by COSMAX, a leading original design manufacturer (ODM) in the cosmetics field and a partner of LG Chem in developing sustainable materials.
 
At the booth, LG Chem will showcase cosmetic containers made of bio-circular balanced (BCB) materials, drop-in solutions customizable to the desired content using renewable plant-based sources, such as used cooking oil, and circular balanced (CB) materials chemically recycled from plastic waste. These materials are expected to significantly contribute to solving the environmental challenges the beauty industry faces, such as reducing carbon emissions and plastic waste. 
 
Samples of mask pack pouches made of UNIQABLE™, a mono polyethylene (PE) material developed exclusively by LG Chem's technology, will also be on display. Packaging films made of UNIQABLE™ are 100% recyclable and deliver excellent barrier performance and transparency, while maintaining the same durability as those made of composite materials.
 
“We aim to showcase our sustainable materials and customized solutions for the beauty industry and solidify our position in the global cosmetics market,” said an LG Chem official.
 
LG Chem plans to respond promptly to the sustainability needs of beauty customers and markets by offering eco-friendly raw materials and products. Additionally, LG Chem will start operating Asia’s first supercritical pyrolysis oil plant in the first half of this year to internalize the supply of feedstocks needed to produce chemically recycled materials.
 
Leveraging the research capabilities of the Color Design Center within its Customer Solutions (CS) Center, LG Chem will support the development of products that align with sustainable practices. It will achieve this by implementing designs that use eco-friendly materials, with colors and textures that beauty brands pursue.
 
Moreover, LG Chem will strengthen its customer relationship management (CRM) system to analyze the sustainability needs and interests of various customers in the beauty sector, ensuring that its eco-friendly packaging materials align with the beauty brands’ identities.
