"Cristal Renew and Eastman's innovative molecular recycling technologies will 
play a crucial role in helping us achieve the commitments laid out in our '2030 
A MORE Beautiful Promise,' without sacrificing the premier beauty experience 
customers expect from Amorepacific," said Jung Changwook, senior vice president 
of Amorepacific development and purchasing division.

LANEIGE's Water Sleeping Mask featuring Cristal Renew will be available at 
cosmetics retailer Sephora in the U.S. and Canada and at us.laneige.com ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3368125-1&h=1411804071&u=https%3A%2F%2Fus.laneige.com%2F&a=us.laneige.com 
). Beloved by customers since 2002, the new Water Sleeping Mask features 
technological advances in skin care and in its packaging—with a 
probiotics-derived complex to fortify skin's moisture barrier that improves 
clarity, texture packaged in beautiful jars made from molecular recycling 
technology.

Eastman's molecular recycling technologies break down hard-to-recycle plastic 
waste into building blocks used to create new materials that are comparable to 
traditional materials in clarity, luster and mechanical properties. Using 
molecular recycling to make these materials diverts plastic waste from 
landfills, incinerators and the environment. The process also reduces the use 
of fossil resources and results in 20%–50% lower greenhouse gas emissions than 
traditional manufacturing.

For Amorepacific, Cristal Renew is key to creating recycled-content packaging 
that lives up to its signature beauty aesthetic, renowned worldwide. Cristal 
Renew, available with 30% and 50% certified recycled content*, gives the skin 
care leader brilliant, crystal clear packaging that enhances its products and 
customer experience. 

"It's an honor to be selected as a partner in Amorepacific's sustainability 
journey," said Glenn Goldman, commercial director for Plastics at Eastman. "We 
look forward to working further with them to bring new innovations to market, 
beginning with the LANEIGE launch before the end of the year."
