Injection Moulding is the production method that includes the process of injecting molten materials into the mould that is used for making products produced in large quantities. The cosmetic packaging includes cosmetic jars, Roll-on bottles and tubes, Powder Compact, lipstick tubes, Pump Bottles and Squeeze tubes. It is estimated that Cosmetic Industry is worth 500 billion dollars, with the estimation to grow to 820 billion dollars by 2023. With this much sale of cosmetic products, the environmental damage caused due to cosmetic packaging is also increasing on a daily basis. Therefore to regulate and monitor pollution, the CPCB and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change have made it mandatory for the producers of Cosmetic Packaging to acquire an EPR certificate.

Process used Plastic Injection Moulding for Cosmetic Packaging
The process of Plastic Injection Moulding for Cosmetic Packaging firstly involves creating moulds mainly made from metal like aluminium or steel to make the actual cosmetic packaging. After the mould is created by the mould maker, the plastic pallets are melted in the barrel, which is mixed by using a helical-shaped screw. After the plastic is melted, it is then injected into the provided mould cavity for cooling and hardening in the shape of the mould.
Once the material is solidified, the mould is mounted on a plat mould which is then opened for injection of an ejector pin to eject the plastic part from the mould.
Cosmetic Companies depends heavily on the Plastic Injection Moulding business for the production of cosmetic packing in large quantity.
Conclusion
Plastic Injection Moulding for Cosmetic Packaging Business has a lot of potential in the market for growth, especially with the increase in the demand for cosmetic products, but along with focusing on economic growth, one has to keep in mind the environmental situation and adhere to the compliances so as to reap the benefits gained from the authorisations and fulfil their responsibility towards the sustainable living.
