In addition to replacing packaging materials, what else can cosmetics do to protect the environment?

Release time:

2023-03-21

2021 is the first year of China's "14th Five-Year Plan" and a turning point for the cosmetics industry. In the past two years, the competition in the cosmetics industry has intensified, coupled with the increasingly strong momentum of environmental protection, many enterprises have actively or passively joined the environmental protection cause, while seeking a way out for their own sustainable development, but also contributing to the environment. Taking Arcade Beauty, a small sample manufacturer of beauty products, as an example, it has announced the news that it has developed a recyclable PE (polyethylene) packaging bag for L'Oréal Paris, L'Oréal's largest beauty brand. Coincidentally, last week, L'Oréal announced that it will launch innovative cosmetic bottles, scheduled to go into production in 2025. Combined with the "environmental protection actions" of other brands, Xiaobian found that replacing packaging materials is their usual way of coping, such as using dissolvable packaging, 100% recycled plastic and so on. Previously, foreign media reported that some brands have developed the technology of plastic alternative packaging paper for cosmetics using bacterial cellulose. Bacterial cellulose, also known as "microbial cellulose", has relatively good biological adaptability and degradability, and is a cutting-edge technology to reduce environmental pollution. It can be seen that packaging environmental protection is an inevitable trend in the development of cosmetics, and it is also an important technology for brands to enhance their competitiveness. In fact, in addition to packaging, we can also start with raw materials, technology, logistics and other aspects. For example, Hera has improved its formulation to achieve more environmental requirements. One of the points is that the flagship product HERA Black Gold Durable Foundation is palm oil grown sustainably by the RSPO (Roundtable of Suatainable Palm Oil) certified sustainable way 。 In addition, Procter & Gamble's deodorant brand Old Spice has a deodorant called Clean water, whose paper tube packaging is made of recycled paper, using a "push up" design to reduce weight. The product's packaging is made from 90% post-consumer recycled materials, and it is reported that it is also the most environmentally friendly product among P&G's men's beauty products to date. We know that reducing carbon emissions is the most direct way, so if the whole process of logistics and transportation is low-carbon, the burden on the environment will inevitably be greatly reduced. For example, Amorepacific's brands have significantly reduced the use of cushioning materials, switched to inflatable air bags instead of foam, and replaced conventional tapes with plant fiber tapes that can naturally degrade in a short period of time. Compared to before, the packaging and transportation process alone is much more environmentally friendly. All in all, environmental protection has become a hot topic of discussion today, and today's consumers, in order to express their support for environmental protection, basically have a "good feeling" for this type of cosmetics. Therefore, regardless of the size of your own business, it is always right to use more snacks on environmental issues!
