Parfums Christian Dior is the first of LVMH's major historic Houses to 
introduce Eastman Cristal™ Renew copolyester, with 30% certified recycled 
content,* for its Dior Addict Lip Maximizer packaging that hits shelves this 
summer. Eastman and LVMH will continue to work together on sustainable 
packaging solutions across LVMH's family of distinguished brands, with 
additional adoption expected over the next several months.

"Our collaboration with Eastman marks a critical milestone towards 
progressively eliminating fossil-fuel-based plastics from our packaging. With 
our recently published LIFE 360 program, we made the decision that our 
packaging will contain zero plastic from virgin fossil resources in the years 
ahead," said Hélène Valade, LVMH environmental development director.

"Eastman's innovative molecular recycling technologies are playing a crucial 
role in helping LVMH achieve our sustainability targets," said Valade. "We are 
at the very beginning of our journey to meet our targets. With our first 
deadline in 2023, we need solutions that are available now and at a global 
scale, ensuring our customers experience these benefits immediately."

Introduced in late 2020, Eastman's portfolio of sustainable resins for cosmetic 
packaging builds on its long history of innovation and knowledge of the 
cosmetics industry.

Eastman's groundbreaking Advanced Circular Recycling technologies produce 
resins from mixed waste plastic rather than fossil-based feedstocks. These 
innovative molecular recycling technologies divert waste plastic from 
landfills, give waste plastic new life, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions 
relative to traditional production. 

With Eastman's technologies, brands can meet their ambitious targets for 
recycled content right now and maintain the premier aesthetics and function 
that luxury consumers expect.

"LVMH is staking out a leadership position among luxury brand houses by taking 
bold action to achieve environmental excellence," said Scott Ballard, vice 
president and general manager, specialty plastics, Eastman. "We are proud to be 
working with LVMH and to provide the technology and products that will help 
them deliver on their circular economy goals."

the circular economy and Eastman Renew materials.

*The recycled content is achieved by allocating the recycled waste plastic to 
Eastman Renew resins using a mass balance process certified by ISCC.

About Parfums Christian Dior
Christian Dior described himself as a fashion and perfume designer. The House 
of Dior, founded in 1946, changed the face of ladies' style forever when its 
New Look was unveiled in the halls of 30 Avenue Montaigne on February 12, 1947. 
The revolutionary look was accompanied by a fragrance, Miss Dior, the finishing 
touch designed to "leave a trail of desire in a woman's wake." This timeless 
perfume was the first fragrance created by a visionary brand which invented the 
concept of global beauty with its Rouge Dior and subsequent cosmetic lines, 
then pioneer skincare lines such as Capture Totale or Dior Prestige. The 
current-day trustees of this legendary expertise – François Demachy, Dior 
Perfumer-Creator, Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, 
and Dior Science – are the heirs to Christian Dior's perfectionism. The 
worldwide renown of the House's creations is partly down to its seductive 
muses, including Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, Gisèle 
Bündchen, Cara Delevingne, Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson.
