L'Oréal adopts Huicheng's chemically recycled PP for cleanser cap
Huicheng Environmental Protection and L'Oréal China launched a co-creation project on 6 November 2026 under L'Oréal's L'AcceleratOR sustainable innovation programme, making L'Oréal the first brand to use Huicheng's chemically recycled polypropylene (crPP). The material will first appear in the cap of L'Oréal Paris's forthcoming Revitalift Specialist Nourishing Amino Acid Facial Cleanser, with further testing planned across more beauty packaging lines.
Why this mattersA top-tier beauty brand validating chemically recycled polypropylene could widen supply of high-quality recycled resin for premium packaging beyond mechanical recycling's limits.
