The new product is playing into Beiersdorfuse of fossil-based virgin plastics by 50 percent.
According to Abdullah Al-Otaibi, General Manager of Engineering Thermoplastics & Market Solutions for Petrochemicals at SABIC:
Moreover, the new NIVEA jar is an outstanding example of successful three-way value chain collaboration, accelerating the time from ideation to the retailer shelves. By bringing SABIC to the table to work together with Berry Global, a long and trusted upstream partner of the brand owner for the production of face care packaging, Beiersdorf managed to advance the project from concept to implementation in just nine months.
New Packaging Enables Climate Footprint Reduction
Converting the packaging to renewable plastic not only has the advantage of conserving fossil resources, but also reduces CO2 emissions. According to Beiersdorf, approximately 76 g of CO2 are saved per jar produced, a reduction of around 60% compared to the fossil-based jar. The project therefore also contributes to Beiersdorf

The certified products from SABICther a product can be classified as renewable or circular. For SABIC this means that for each ton of renewable or circular feedstock fed into the production process and substituting fossil-based feedstock, approximately a ton of the output materials can be classified as either renewable or circular.
