Eastman Cristal™ Renew copolyester

Our Cristal Renew portfolio will make you wonder . . . is it virgin or is it renewed?

Sustainability without compromise

Featuring high levels of certified* recycled content, our Cristal Renew portfolio provides the clarity, luster, color compatibility, and durability that cosmetics brands demand from their packaging. Made using Eastman’s molecular recycling, these materials meet rigorous performance standards and provide significant environmental benefits such as landfill diversion, resource conservation, and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

These materials address one of the holy grails of the circular economy—the ability to turn waste plastic back into plastic that is indistinguishable from virgin product—with no drop-off in aesthetics or performance. This means that if you are using copolyesters today, you can put Eastman Renew products in your molds without having to make changes, saving a huge amount of time and money that would otherwise have to be invested in requalification.

Offered at scale with immediate availability for all Eastman copolyesters, Eastman Renew materials feature:

  • Drop-in performance, with no mold changes required
  • No compromises, featuring zero drop-off in aesthetics or performance with excellent color and clarity
  • Options for material take-back in select situations



“When Eastman announced its Renew offerings, we were interested right away. This really is game-changing technology."


–Stéphane Perrollier, QUALIFORM CEO
