LanzaTech, Total and L’Oréal announce the production of the first cosmetic plastic bottle made from industrial carbon emissions

Through their innovative partnership, LanzaTech, Total and L’Oréal have premiered the world’s first sustainable packaging made from captured and recycled carbon emissions. The successful conversion process takes place in three steps:  LanzaTech captures industrial carbon emissions and converts them into ethanol using a unique biological process.  Total, thanks to an innovative dehydration process jointly developed with IFP Axens, converts the ethanol into ethylene before polymerizing it into polyethylene that has the same technical characteristics as its fossil counterpart.  L’Oréal uses this polyethylene to produce packaging with the same quality and…
