Cosmetics sector adopts sustainable packaging
As part of an industry-wide shift towards sustainable and recyclable packaging, a number of leading cosmetics companies are already using green packaging to fight plastic pollution.
Luxury beauty brand Chanel has acquired a stake in Sulapac, a Finnish start-up which has developed a new industrially-recyclable material that is totally biodegradable in the marine environment.
Lush (UK) has reduced product packaging and labelling to a bare minimum, selling them “naked” in its stores, while Davines (Parma) has been working for years to offset CO2 emissions through reforestation and woodland protection projects around the world.
The company began adopting bio-based or recycled plastic in 2017 and has now declared that 100% of its revenue is generated from products with CO2-compensated packaging.
