Toly and Eastman Unveil Gemini: A New Standard in Sustainable Luxury Packaging

Introducing Gemini: The Future of Luxurious and Sustainable Packaging

In a remarkable collaboration, Toly, a frontrunner in premium cosmetic packaging, has teamed up with Eastman, a global pioneering force in molecular recycling technologies, to present Gemini—the first compact to feature Eastman’s cutting-edge Cristal™ One Renew IM812. This launch marks a significant milestone, setting a new precedent in the realm of sustainable luxury packaging.

Gemini is not just any cosmetic container; it symbolizes a harmonious blend of elegance and ecological responsibility. Eastman’s Cristal One Renew IM812 is a groundbreaking resin that revolutionizes the luxury beauty packaging sector by integrating recycled and recyclable content while maintaining a premium look and shine.

Olaf Zahra, Toly's Technical and Sustainability Director, emphasized the joint vision behind Gemini, stating, "This collaboration embodies our shared commitment to a future in beauty packaging that balances luxury with environmental accountability. By utilizing Cristal One Renew IM812, we are able to provide brands with packaging solutions that support stringent sustainability goals while offering the high-end aesthetic and tactile experience desired by consumers."

Key Features of Cristal One Renew IM812

- Glass-like Clarity: The material offers clarity comparable to glass, ideal for thick-walled PET compacts, which allows for luxurious designs without compromising on transparency or gloss.
- Up to 100% Certified Recycled Content: The resin contains a significant amount of certified recycled materials, achieved through molecular recycling, significantly reducing the environmental footprint.
- Compatibility with Existing Recycling Streams: Cristal One Renew IM812 is fully compatible with conventional PET recycling streams, validated by leading organizations like EPBP, APR, and RecyClass.

As the inaugural partner of Eastman to implement this innovative material in compact packaging, Toly reinforces its standing as a leader in providing forward-thinking, sustainable solutions tailored for the premium beauty and luxury market. Tara Cary, Eastman’s Global Market Manager for Cosmetics, added, "With Cristal One Renew IM812, we are redefining what excellence means in packaging—brilliance reimagined. We enable our customers to future-proof their packaging, ensuring it meets not only current standards but is also prepared for upcoming regulatory demands, offering peace of mind and sustainability with every unit."

A Symbol of Innovation and Responsibility

The Gemini compact represents more than just an advancement in packaging technology; it is an exemplary model of what can be achieved when luxury is seamlessly integrated with advanced sustainable technology.

Toly and Eastman will showcase the Gemini compacts at the Luxe Pack Monaco trade fair from September 30 to October 2, underlining their commitment to pioneering sustainable practices in the beauty sector.
