Axilone : A new durable crystalline resin
Axilone, an expert in plastic injection and aluminum processing for luxury cosmetics, has partnered with Eastman, a materials manufacturer, to develop a recycled and recyclable crystalline resin with a shine comparable to that of glass.
Sustainable development is a strategic pillar for these two long-standing partners.
Together, they unveil the result of their new collaboration: an innovative solution aimed at offering sustainable packaging alternatives while preserving high-end aesthetics and customization.
They have thus developed a recycled and recyclable crystalline resin, with a glass-like shine, for premium applications. This advancement expands the Cristal One range. The material Cristal One Renew IM812 is designed to offer performance similar to that of copolyester, while being recyclable (RIC1).
The Cristal One IM812 and Cristal One Renew IM812 resins have received RecyClass certification and are considered fully compatible with existing PET bottle recycling processes in Europe.
