The global beauty industry generates over 1.2 million tons of disposable plastic waste each year, with eyelash product waste accounting for 7.3%. The third-generation reusable eyelash cluster launched by Swaniya Lashes Co., Ltd. has extended the life cycle of single-use products by 30 times through material innovation, structural optimization and user education system, and has been certified by a third party to reduce eyelash related waste by 82%. This technology has been certified by the EU Ecolabel and won the "Gold Award for Sustainable Innovation" at the 2024 Paris International Beauty Expo.
High-strength bio-based materials break through the durability limit
The eyelash cluster is made of a composite material of castor oil-derived polyamide 11 and bamboo fiber. Fatigue resistance tests show that it can withstand 500 bends without breaking, which is 15 times longer than that of traditional PBT plastic. In the accelerated aging experiment conducted at Tokyo Institute of Technology, the material maintained 92% of its original elastic modulus after continuous exposure for 300 hours in an environment of 85℃/85% humidity. Swaniya's unique nanocystalline whisk reinforcement technology enables the root of eyelash clusters to have a tear resistance strength of 18N/mm, far exceeding the industry average of 6N/mm.
Modular design enables precise loss control
Each cluster of eyelashes adopts an independent snap-on structure. Users can replace individual clusters according to their eye shape requirements instead of discarding the entire cluster. In the tracking test at the Los Angeles Beauty Lab, this design reduced the product waste from 32 clusters per mask to an average of 4.7 clusters, with a loss rate drop of 85%. The accompanying magnetic absorption box is equipped with a built-in UV sterilization lamp, which can kill 99.9% of the bacteria on the surface of eyelashes, ensuring the safety of repeated use. The box body is made by pressing sugarcane residue into shape, reducing its carbon footprint by 76% compared to traditional plastic boxes.
The intelligent cleaning system extends the product life cycle
The ultrasonic cleaner developed in conjunction can thoroughly remove cosmetic residues in the crevices of eyelashes within 90 seconds through 40kHz high-frequency vibration. In a comparative experiment conducted at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin, the adhesion force attenuation rate of eyelash clusters cleaned by this device was 63% lower than that of those cleaned by hand. The cleaning liquid is made of biodegradable coconut oil derivatives, with a pH value precisely controlled between 5.5 and 6.5 to prevent damage to eyelash fibers.
A closed-loop recycling system builds an industrial ecosystem
Swaniya has established the world's first eyelash cluster recycling and remanufacturing network. Users can exchange for one new one for every five old products they return. The recycled eyelash clusters, after sorting, crushing and melting and reshaping, can be remade into automotive interior parts or garden stands. In the pilot project in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the system has achieved a material recovery rate of 91%, which is four times higher than the industry average. Each kilogram of recycled materials can reduce 1.8 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to the carbon sink capacity of planting 12 fir trees.
User behavior research optimizes product design
Based on the usage data analysis of 20,000 consumers, Swaniya optimized the eyelash cluster length gradient from 5mm-12mm to 6mm-14mm, increasing the single cluster reuse rate by 27%. The improved cross-weaving process enables the eyelash clusters to maintain 89% of their original density even after being repeatedly pasted 15 times. The accompanying APP, through its AR try-on function, helps users precisely match eyelash styles, reducing the waste rate caused by trial and error from 31% to 7%.
The formulation of industry standards leads the green transformation
As a core member of the ISO/TC 321 Sustainable Beauty Working Group, Swaniya led the development of the "Life Cycle Assessment Standard for Reusable Eyelash Products". The laser marking traceability system it has developed can record the production batch, usage frequency and recycling status of each cluster of eyelashes, achieving full-process carbon management from raw materials to the terminal. This technology has been included in the recommended cases of China's "Green Development Guidelines for the Beauty Industry".
Market validation demonstrates commercial value
The product captured 43% of the reusable eyelash market in North America within 18 months of its launch, helping partner brands reduce packaging costs by 38%. In the Amazon beauty category evaluation, Swaniya eyelash clusters topped the list of eco-friendly beauty products with a user score of 4.9 out of 5. Its patented quick-release interface design has increased the service efficiency of eyelash extensions by 40%, promoting the transformation of professional salons towards a sustainable model.
