TOKYO, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Prestige beauty brand SUQQU has unveiled a new setting powder housed in a compact crafted from Eastman Cristal™ One copolyester.  
Recognizing the need for a suitable alternative to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) in the base plate of its compact, SUQQU partnered with Eastman. Together, the two companies identified that Cristal One not only fulfilled SUQQU's rigorous functional criteria but also maintained a luxury aesthetic. This recyclable resin helped SUQQU offer its consumers a sustainable alternative in its iconic compact.  
Eastman's Cristal One portfolio provides an end-of-life solution for cosmetics brands. The specialty PET is recognized by both the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) and RecyClass as being compatible with the resin identification code 1 (RIC1) stream, which means it can go directly into most municipal recycling systems. 
As global sustainability regulations continue to evolve, SUQQU has designed its luxury compact to align with the European Commission's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations (PPWR) and is continuously working toward achieving full compliance.  
Cristal One enhances both the durability and aesthetics of cosmetics packaging. The copolyester demonstrates superior performance compared to other candidate materials, such as PET, particularly excelling in drop impact resistance after secondary processing. 
"Consumers are increasingly expecting brands to deliver sustainable options for their beauty products but are unwilling to give up on the elegance and design aspects of the package," said Tara Cary, Eastman marketing manager for cosmetic packaging. "By adopting materials like Cristal One, brands like SUQQU meet these aesthetic demands and also contribute to environmental responsibility." 
Cristal One also meets the stringent requirements of SUQQU's design and performance standards. It allows for perfect shape while providing a deep, glossy black finish that enhances the product's luxury appeal. This could not be done with the ABS the brand previously used.  
"Consumers love that this product is beautiful, durable and reusable," Cary said. "It allows them to do their part to contribute to the environment, and it's also designed to look like a fashion accessory that's so beautiful you just want to show it to everyone."  
The sustainable makeup compact is available online and in stores in Japan and overseas. For more information, visit suqqu.com.
Since the setting powder launched with the adoption of Cristal One in February, the product has sold well within the market. It has significantly exceeded SUQQU's expectations, achieving over 187% of its monthly target sales.   
SUQQU's parent company, Kao, has used Eastman's materials for many years. The company has stated that Eastman is its first choice for professional support, technical service, marketing and quality products.

SUQQU launches sustainable makeup compact with Eastman Cristal™ One

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Roborock, the global leader in home robotics engineered to simplify daily life, became the most awarded Robotic Vacuum Brand at CES 2026, after announcing its new product line-up for the first half of the year. Under the theme "The Greatest Meeting the Greatest", the brand's keynote presentation led by Roborock's President, Quan Gang, unveiled the Saros Rover, the world's first robotic vacuum with AI-powered wheel-leg architecture that can both navigate stairs and slopes with human-like agility while cleaning them.
Announcements also included the Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, Roborock F25 ACE Pro, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. These launches happened in partnership with Real Madrid Football Club for the Vacuum Cleaner category, announced ahead of the show's starting date.
Roborock also announced separate to the Real Madrid partnership its entry into the US market for lawnmower products, including the new RockMow X1 LiDAR. Consumers, clients, and interested parties can visit Roborock's Booth #52632 at Venetian Expo CES 2026 from January 6 to January 9th during show hours.
Roborock Saros Rover - The World's First Wheel-Leg Robovac
In a world-first, Roborock introduced at CES 2026 the Roborock Saros Rover, featuring the world's first two-wheel-leg architecture in a robovac. Each wheel-leg provides reach, lift, height, and imitates human mobility, enabling the robot to raise and lower each one of the wheel-legs independently, execute small jumps, agile turns, sudden stops, and directional changes, all while maintaining a level body as the ground changes.
At a software level, Saros Rover harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence algorithms, in conjunction with complex motion sensors and 3D spatial information to understand its environment and make its wheel-legs react with precision.
The Saros Rover excels in multi-storey homes, where it is able to clean each one of the steps of a staircase as it goes to the second floor, dramatically reducing "no-go" zones and transitioning into cleaning areas previously inaccessible for homes with a single robovac.
The Saros Rover is able to tackle several types of non-flat surfaces, with staircases being the most obvious one. This includes not only traditional staircases but also curved staircases, or even carpeted staircases with bullnose fronts, all while cleaning each one of their steps as it navigates through them. Other types of surfaces that Saros Rover is able to tackle include slopes as well as complex multi-level room thresholds requiring height and power. Saros Rover is a real product in development with an unconfirmed launch date.
The Greatest Meeting The Greatest - Roborock and Real Madrid Football Club join hands
Announced days before the show's beginning, Roborock presents at CES its first activation within the strategic global partnership with Real Madrid Football Club's First Men and First Women teams, widely ranked as one of the greatest football clubs in history. The partnership is solely related to Roborock's extensive portfolio of Vacuum Cleaner products and excludes other product lines from the brand. Under the umbrella theme of "The Greatest Meeting The Greatest", the partnership responds to a deep affinity between the brand ethos of both organizations, which have achieved remarkable historical performance with innovation as common denominator. The partnership will bring Roborock's smart-cleaning innovations to life through stadium exposure, campaigns and player-led storytelling that translate the meaning of "Real Smart Cleaning" from the pitch to the home.
Roborock's early 2026 Robovac line-up: Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow
At its keynote, Clarbi Lu, product marketing lead at Roborock, unveiled new smart cleaning products launching in the first half of the year. Leading the lineup are the Roborock Saros 20 and Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, the latest flagship models in the Saros Series. Saros 20 upgrades the StarSight™ Autonomous System 2.0 with enhanced AI object recognition and a new AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 for improved threshold climbing. Saros 20 Sonic adds RetractSense™ Navigation, an ultra-slim body, and the VibraRise® 5.0 Mopping System. Both use a 35,000 Pa HyperForce® motor and a new RockDock®. The Qrevo Series also expands with the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow.
Rockmow X1 LiDAR, X1, RockNeo Q1 lead the Roborock North American Roll-Out of Lawnmowers
Roborock has announced its North American expansion into the lawnmower category with three key models. The flagship RockMow X1 LiDAR features Sentisphere™ LiDAR Environmental Perception, 4WD traction, and Active Steering for flawless coverage. Alternatively, the RockMow X1 utilizes RTK and VSLAM navigation alongside a Dynamic Suspension System for industry-leading edge cutting. For smaller gardens, the entry-level RockNeo Q1 makes smart care accessible by combining RTK + VSLAM navigation with Stereo Vision Obstacle Avoidance.
