Recycled polypropylene thermoplastic matrix: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical property variability in recycled polypropylene and bioresins leads to structural failure in lightweight parts. Integrating gas-assist injection with bio-based thermoplastic composites stabilizes the internal cellular structure to maintain strength while reducing material density.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Recycled polypropylene thermoplastic matrix?

Cosmetic formulation instability

(16)evidences

Incompatibility between biopolymers and fatty substances leads to phase separation or poor texture. Achieving structural integrity in sustainable cosmetic bases ensures product shelf life and sensory performance.

Post-consumer polymer property degradation

(3)evidences

Excessive mass in recycled thermoplastic components limits fuel efficiency and material portability. Reducing density through gas-assisted bioresin integration overcomes the weight penalty of standard recycled polypropylene.

Environmental persistence of cosmetic ingredients

(2)evidences

Conventional cosmetic formulations rely on synthetic polymers that do not break down, leading to long-term ecological accumulation. Replacing these with biodegradable alternatives prevents microplastic pollution and bioaccumulation in aquatic ecosystems.
