The Lush Black Pot was recognized in early March at the 2017 APR Plastics Recycling Showcase as the first FDA-approved post-consumer recycled polypropylene resin and rigid packaging application for cosmetics use.

At the event, which was held in conjunction with the Plastics Recycling Conference, KW Plastics and Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics presented the challenges they faced with the package before being selected for the 2017 APR Plastics Recycling Showcase by the Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR).
