Indorama Ventures, a global sustainable chemical company, and Rebhan FPS Kunststoff-Verpackungen GmbH, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of cosmetic packaging, have collaborated to bring a new generation of PET packaging to the beauty and personal care market, combining luxury aesthetics with enhanced recyclability and more sustainable options.
Bringing together Indorama Ventures’ expertise in specialty PET materials and Rebhan’s packaging design and manufacturing capabilities, the collaboration has introduced Kuxyclear EBM PET 5508 to premium cosmetic packaging.
Designed for extrusion blow molding, the specialty PET grade enables thick-wall cosmetic bottles with exceptional clarity and transparency, delivering an elegant, glass-like appearance while offering PET’s lightweight, durable and shatter-resistant benefits. The solution is ideal for premium beauty and personal care products where both aesthetics and performance are essential.
In addition to the conventional virgin PET grade, Kuxyclear EBM PET 5508 is also available in versions with up to 100% chemically recycled content or mass-balanced certified renewable feedstock. These options allow brands to reduce reliance on virgin fossil resources while maintaining the same premium clarity, performance, and product quality. The product is now commercially available to beauty and personal care brands across Europe, the Americas and Asia.
“Beauty brands should not have to choose between premium design, packaging performance and greater material choice,” said Dr Patrick Amrhein, business director of Specialty Polymers at Indorama Ventures. “By combining Kuxyclear EBM PET 5508 with Rebhan’s design and manufacturing expertise, we are giving brands a commercially practical route to create distinctive, glass-like PET packaging using conventional, chemically recycled or renewable-feedstock options.”
“In the beauty and personal care sectors, brands are increasingly turning to our glass-like bottles because they combine the elegant look of glass with the functional advantages of PET. Our solutions offer luxurious transparency, brilliant clarity and modern designs that immediately grab attention at the point of sale, while also being cost-effective, lightweight and perfectly suited for everyday use,” said Patrick Kohns, head of sales & product management at Rebhan.
By combining Rebhan’s expertise in premium cosmetic packaging with Indorama Ventures’ specialty PET materials and technical support, beauty and personal care brands can transform their design and sustainability ambitions into distinctive, market-ready packaging solutions.
