On March 30, LG Chem, Innerbottle and CJ Logistics signed a cooperation agreement (MOU) on building a resource recycling platform
.
Ecological platform model

Materials (LG Chem) → Products (Innerbottle) → Recycling (CJ Logistics) → Recycling (LG Chem & Innerbottle) LG Chem provides plastic raw materials for Innerbottle to produce cosmetic containers*, and the used Innerbottle containers are recycled through CJ Logistics, Finally, LG Chem and Innerbottle recycle it as a raw material
.

*The container is only made of LG Chem's plastic raw materials, and is recycled and recycled through a dedicated system, so 100% of plastic resources can be recycled
.

Consumers can apply for refilling of cosmetics through the Innerbottle online platform "Ireon" or the App, and then place the empty container and bottle at their doorstep, and the courier of CJ Logistics will come to the door to collect and deliver the refilled finished product
.
At the same time, Innerbottle will carry out cleaning work to recycle the recovered product containers
.
If the containers cannot be used any longer, LG Chem will purchase them and recycle them to make new plastic raw materials
.

　　The original refilling brick-and-mortar stores can provide filling services, but since consumers have to carry containers to offline stores, the operation process is cumbersome
.
On the other hand, "Ireon" adopts an online method, allowing consumers to refill products and recycle containers with one click
.

　　All products sold by "Ireon" are dedicated refillable containers from the Innerbottle solution
.
The container is green and environmentally friendly, and is divided into two layers, the outer layer is a plastic bottle, and the inner layer is a balloon-shaped shrinkable silicone bag
.
Cosmetics are only stored in the inner silicone bag, so the outer plastic container can be reused after simple cleaning
.
Moreover, the outer container is also made of recycled waste plastics in daily life, which can effectively reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions
.

　　Through this cooperation, the practice of large enterprises and start-ups to jointly build a resource recycling ecosystem has been realized
.
In the future, LG Chem will also accelerate the commercialization of environmentally friendly products in the petrochemical field
.

　　Currently, LG Chem is conducting joint research to apply the produced NB latex to Innerbottle's silicone bags
.
In addition, it is also planned to use environmentally friendly plastics such as PCR ABS and EP to replace other types of cosmetic containers that cannot be reused at present
.
