Sustainable material solutions
SK chemicals will showcase its technological capabilities at CHINAPLAS in Hall 17, L41 Booth
CHINAPLAS is recognised as one of the world’s top three chemical industry exhibitions alongside NPE in the U.S. and K’ show in Germany and is considered the largest in Asia. At this year’s exhibition, SK chemicals will present its sustainable specialty solutions under the slogan “On-hand solution for sustainable tomorrow.” SK chemicals will focus on showcasing proven and commercially available products, such as chemically recycled materials, highlighting sustainable technologies and solutions that can be implemented immediately.
In the field of circular recycled materials based on depolymerisation technology, SK chemicals will showcase a lineup of recyclable materials designed with both pre- and post-use recyclability in mind. This includes CLARO, a copolyester classified as post-consumer PET, applied to skincare and makeup products from L’Oréal and Estée Lauder. And SKYPET CR, a PET material used in Samdasoo water bottles and Coldplay’s eco-friendly vinyl records and finally ECOTRIA CR, a circular recycled copolyester used in interior tiles by CS Group.
SK chemicals will also exhibit everyday consumer products that feature its flagship materials, including: ECOZEN, a high-heat-resistant bio-based copolyester used in various kitchen appliances, food storage containers, baby tableware, and sports bottles. SKYGREEN, is a high-performance PETG applied in cosmetic packaging and iced cups, valued for its exceptional transparency, chemical resistance, and processability.
Ahn Jae-hyun, President of SK chemicals, stated, “Through this exhibition, we aim to clearly demonstrate that a sustainable plastic ecosystem—where plastic products are recycled back into new plastic products—is not a distant future goal, but a solution that can be realized today.” He added, “We will continue to build success cases through close collaboration with leading companies across industries and actively promote our unique technologies and products, including circular recycling solutions.”
