With environmental pollution being the center of global discussions to make a better world, plastic is the harshest blame to cause one of the major problems. Plastic containers for cosmetics in particular are the least recycled and governments and industry specialists are working on ways to change. Despite global economic slowdown, the sales of cosmetics have increase by 6.1% last year and the Euromonitor International predicted the sales would keep increasing by yearly 5% and reach to $600 billion by 2022. 

Orbital is a South Korean company famous for its innovative PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) cosmetic containers. These eco-friendly containers are made of cornstarch extract and are rising as good alternatives for the existing plastic containers. The PLA containers are harmless to human body and are decomposed in 180 days by microorganism. 

Minjun Bae, CEO of Orbital, used to work for a foreign bank but quit and established MJ Chemicals from which he launched research and development of new technologies. The course of his R&D then turned to eco-friendly cosmetic containers and eventually launched the current Orbital. 

Some of the largest global cosmetic container companies and National Geographic are importing Orbital’s eco-friendly PLA containers and the products are also being sold at Amazon at the moment. Regretfully though, companies in South Korea are rather reluctant to use this innovative containers due to higher price than the existing containers. 

PLA containers are around 30% more expensive than the existing containers in the market. Bae points out the importance of government’s tougher regulations as South Korean companies still prioritize price competitiveness while advanced countries value our health and safety as much as business. 

Orbital has obtained 11 patents and 6 design marks and some of the hot sellers of Orbital are as follows: multipurpose containers, lids, industrial equipment, caps and above all the multi-layered thin film blow containers and heavy blow containers specifically designed for cosmetics. Orbital currently has production facilities that can produce 110,000 containers daily and 3 million monthly. 

Bae currently is taking a doctoral course in cosmetic pharmacology at Daegu Haany University to deepen his knowledge in chemical reactions and dynamics between cosmetic substances and PLA containers. 

   
 

改变世界的挑战意识,带来化妆品容器的创新。
“(株)ORBITAL”PLA绿色环保产品,塑料化妆品容器最完美的替代品。

(株)ORBITAL的PLA化妆品容器,塑料容器最完美的绿色环保替代品。

  由于从上个月开始施行的“资源回收利用法”,化妆品行业对容器的苦恼日趋加深,随着(株)ORBITAL开发并推出的PLA(Poly Lactic Acid,从玉米淀粉中萃取的绿色环保树脂)容器成为塑料化妆品容器最完美的替代品,引起人们众多的关注。利用从玉米淀粉中萃取的树脂制作的PLA,未检测到重金属等环境激素,对人体无害,使用后在产业堆肥化条件下,仅过180天即可被微生物生物降解,所以作为最完美的绿色环保产品已被广为人知。 
 

创新性技术开发,在短期内取得巨大成就。
  (株)ORBITAL裴珉俊代表除了独特的履历以外,还被贴上了怪才的标签。在很多人都羡慕的外国银行辞职,成立了(株)ORBITAL的母公司(株)MJ化学。经营了由SK化学开发并取得绿色环保最高等级评价的材料“ECOZEN”国内唯一代理店。裴代表通过R&D的创新性技术开发从此开始。在以挑战精神武装的裴代表的眼里所有产品都是研究对象,在别人眼里他就是个怪才。经裴代表研究的产品,在功能和功效、生产效率等方面取得了长足的发展。裴代表接连向市场推出划时代的产品,赢得了极高的人气,通过创新性技术开发,提高生产效率,克服扯所有制造业后腿的高工资低效率时代,在短时间内取得了令人难以置信的巨大成就。 
  他的下一个目标就是绿色环保化妆品容器领域。在每年增长的化妆品市场上变得越来越华丽嫁接多种功能的化妆品容器,离真正意义上的绿色环保还有很长一段路要走。直到不久以前,在化妆品市场上还很难想象绿色环保的概念。但是他坚信在日趋严格的绿色环保限制中化妆品产业也难以跳脱,成立(株)ORBITAL,加快了绿色环保化妆品容器的开发。 

(株)ORBITAL的工程技术能力和完美的绿色环保材料相遇。
 裴代表所关注的材料是PLA。这种材料在地里仅过180天就能生物降解,是一款可以完美地代替塑料及各种一次性用品的产品。(株)ORBITAL优秀的工程技术能力和完美的绿色环保材料PLA的结合,在生产效率和绿色环保领域取得了巨大的协同效应。  
  现在(株)ORBITAL的技术能力已在国内外得到了广泛认可。世界最大跨国性化妆品容器企业和国家地理、美国等地进口(株)ORBITAL的产品,全球公开市场亚马逊也在出售(株)ORBITAL的产品。
 PLA产品的价格比普通产品高出30%左右。但考虑到在化妆品整个生产成本中容器所占的比重,30%并不是过高的比率。


开发克服缺点发扬优点的多种技术。
改变世界的是挑战意识,(株)ORBITAL正在走前人从未走过的道路。

(株)ORBITAL作为成立仅3年的年轻企业,拥有《绿色环保塑料多功能瓶》、《具有防漏结构的液体容器盖》、《对高压吹塑模具保障稳定形状的模具结构及其装置》、《根据需求量挤出液状内容物的容器》、《双重容器及其安装在其下端的容器盖》等11项专利和6项设计商品。(株)ORBITAL开发的代表性产品有,发挥真空容器优点的同时克服缺点的《多层薄膜吹塑容器》、弥补现有管状防晒霜容器所具有界限的《多层吹塑容器》、体现玻璃所具有的感觉的同时轻便又价格低的《重吹塑容器》等。现在(株)ORBITAL已具备日均生产11万个、月均生产300万个上述产品及其它多种产品的设备能力。 
   如果用一句话表现裴珉俊代表的人生,那就是“挑战意识”。以不断的挑战意识武装自己,想走出一条前人从未走过的道路。为了研究PLA和化妆品相结合时产生反应的力学关系,裴代表在大邱韩医研究生院攻读化妆品药理专业博士课程,在那里正式研究将PLA用于化妆品容器的可行性,表明自己的研究意志,谈到:“关于PLA产品的功能已有很多人都有所了解,但是很少有人去想PLA和化妆品成分相结合时所带来的化学反应及力学关系。在工程研究的同时,还研究上述物质之间的力学关系,以确保完美的绿色环保化妆品容器技术。” 
  裴珉俊的人生哲学是《改变世界的是挑战意识,尽管刚开始人们对挑战表示无法理解,但是小的挑战经常会改变世界。》让我们一起来期待经过他的努力所改变的世界。
