Making art with trash: Japanese firm turns eyeshadow, face powders into paint

Mr. Tanaka now collaborates with 16 beauty companies to purchase unnecessary cosmetics straight from their companies.

” Makeup businesses pay to rid of makeup spend. That spending may become minimised as we, Mangata, pay each skincare firm. This will help us secure sources and allow makeup companies to reduce expenses. It’s a win-win relationship”, he said. &nbsp,

This, according to Mr. Tanaka, lessens concerns about contamination or sanitary standards.

AN ART EVENT WITH UPCYCLED PAINT

Chinese beauty product Kanebo and printing business Toppan recently held a large artwork event in Tokyo earlier this month, where the waste firm’s materials were provided, in response to Mangata’s vision. &nbsp,

At the occurrence, about 10 kilograms of recycled eyeshadow and powders were used. &nbsp,

” To avoid waste, we talked about various ways of waste, such as change into paint, and realised it”, said Kanebo company supervisor Yumi Kizu.
