Frequently Asked Questions About Sustainable K-Beauty Packaging
What PCR content levels are available from Korean suppliers?
Korean suppliers offer PCR plastics ranging from 30% to 100% recycled content. The most common options are 30%, 50%, and 100% PCR. Higher PCR content may have slight variations in color and clarity compared to virgin plastic.
Are sustainable packaging options more expensive?
Sustainable packaging typically costs 10-30% more than conventional options, depending on the material and technology used. However, prices are becoming more competitive as demand increases and production scales. Many brands find consumers willing to pay a premium for eco-friendly packaging.
What certifications should I look for in sustainable packaging?
Key certifications include FSC (for paper/wood), OK Compost/TUV (for biodegradable claims), SCS Global Services (for recycled content verification), and How2Recycle labeling. Korean suppliers can provide documentation for these certifications.
Can I get refillable packaging from Korea?
Yes, Korean manufacturers are leaders in refillable packaging design. Options include refillable cushion compacts, pump bottles with replaceable cartridges, and jar systems with inner refill cups. Refillable systems typically require higher initial MOQs but reduce long-term packaging costs.
