LIMEX, which contains 50% or more inorganic material such as calcium carbonate, reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum-based plastics. It\u2019s a viable alternative to the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polypropylene (PP) resin typically used in cosmetic components and can be manufactured with existing plastic molding machinery. Significantly, LIMEX can be recycled in the same way as products designed with a single material. In collaboration with businesses and local governments, TBM has implemented many material recycling initiatives in Japan, using the mechanical recycling plant operated by TBM and partnering with recycling facilities across the country.In addition to sustainability benefits, cosmetic packaging made from LIMEX has a luxurious matte texture and a substantial feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
