LUMENE cooperates with UPM and SABIC to launch biobased packaging application
In Finland, Finnish beauty brand LUMENE has launched a biobased packaging application with both the jar and label made with UPM’s wood-based material.
LUMENE’s new jar and the self-adhesive label originate from renewable UPM BioVerno naphtha, produced by UPM in Finland. The naphtha is processed into certified renewable polypropylene by SABIC, a specialist in the chemical industry, and then converted both into commonly recyclable cosmetics containers and product labels printed on UPM Raflatac Forest Film label material.
“By cooperating with UPM and SABIC we are taking the next important step in our sustainability journey and driving transition to renewable resources. LUMENE’s ambition is to have 80% of its packaging made from recycled and biobased plastics by 2025,” says Essi Arola, Head of R&D Packaging and Sustainability at LUMENE.
“We are committed to replacing fossil-based feedstocks with renewable ones. This collaboration with LUMENE, SABIC and UPM Raflatac is an excellent example of a future beyond fossils, which is a key driver for UPM going forward,” said Juha Rainio, Sales and Marketing Director at UPM Biofuels.
