50% recycled materials in the carton packaging of the Orange Livebox 4

Ecodesign involves integrating environmental protection throughout the life cycle of products and services. This approach reduces their environmental impact from the creation stage by taking into account the consumption of raw materials and energy, discharges into the natural environment and their effects on climate and biodiversity.

Livebox 4 is a perfect illustration of an ecodesigned product: in a more compact size, disassembly and reassembly are made easier by no soldered or glued components, thus simplifying recycling. Its carton packaging, FSC approved (Forest Stewardship Council), is manufactured using cardboard from sustainably managed forests and uses vegetable-based inks. 50% of it is formed using recycled materials and does not exceed one third of the weight of the product.

Learn about the Priceless Planet Coalition, with Mastercard!

Mastercard announced the launch of the Priceless Planet Coalition, a platform to unite corporate sustainability efforts and make meaningful investments to preserve the environment.Together with partners the Priceless Planet Coalition is pledging to plant 100 million trees over five years. Large scale reforestation programs need to be executed carefully, with consideration given to a number of factors including local climate, adverse biodiversity impacts, lax or poor forest management practices, unintended future deforestation, risk of reversal, and unintended social impacts. Mastercard has selected global environmental organizations Conservation International and World Resources Institute (WRI) to lead the tree planting efforts. Working closely with local and indigenous communities, Conservation International has protected or restored over 6 million square kilometers of land and sea across more than 70 countries

Reducing plastic with Maybelline

In 2019, Maybelline initiated an ambitious plan to cut plastics. Focusing on in-store point of sale displays, the business devised a strategy focussed on recycling, reusing and returning plastic parts. In a single trial, Maybelline diverted 6.5 tonnes of plastic from landfill and recovered 10,000 parts for re-use. A second trial by NYX Professional MakeUp saved another 10 tonnes of plastic from landfill and together, the businesses collected enough recyclable plastic to create new parts for 2020. In 2020 the project will be rolled out to all retailers and all plastic parts for in-store displays will be made with recycled materials.
