South Korea's SK Chemicals announced on Tuesday that five of its recyclable materials, which are used for packaging in the cosmetic, food, and beverage industries, have received APR Critical Guidance Recognition (ACGR) from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) in the U.S.

It operates a certification program aimed at increasing the recyclability of plastics and has been instrumental in advancing eco-friendly recyclable plastic policies in the US, such as influencing the passage of California's first law regulating disposable plastic use in June last year.
Major global beverage companies and cosmetic brands, including Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and L'Oréal, are participants in APR's initiatives.
With this new recognition, SK Chemicals expects to see an expansion in global sales of its recyclable materials.
