Ikea will help you live more sustainably

Swedish phrase 'Lagom är bäst', meaning 'the right amount is best', is what Ikea believe is the key to sustainable living.

In recent years, the company has put sustainability front and center, releasing its ‘People & Planet Positive’ roadmap, a document outlining its 2020 sustainability strategy. Some of the objectives outlined in the report include:

Sourcing 100% of its wood, paper and cardboard from more sustainable sources, defined as recycled or FSC® certified wood
Using cotton sourced from “more sustainable” sources, such as “Better Cotton”
90% of products will be more sustainable with substantiated environmental improvements
As a global business it produces as much renewable energy as it consumes.

IKEA wants to make a positive impact on the world. That’s why they want to make it easier for many people to live a more sustainable life at home. By choosing a more sustainable product, you are helping to create positive change for People + Planet together with IKEA.

Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch

The Maybelline Matte + Poreless Foundation is one of their bestselling foundations, and typically comes in a clear, glass bottle with a black lid. However, the design has been revamped for a more eco-friendly design . The formula remains unchanged, but Maybelline have created the Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch which is a special portable on-the-go pouch format. Whilst plastic is still something that's not biodegradable, the point of this pouch is that it's a lot more sustainable in terms of manufacturing compared to the manufacturing of glass. There's also a lot less packaging needed to protect the products in transit, so Maybelline have really thought about every little thing in designing this new Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch format.

L’Oreal’s Brand BioTherm is PRESERVING THE OCEANS WITH WATER LOVERS

The mission of the Water Lovers program is developing innovative processes for the conservation of the world’s oceans. As a first step, the brand wanted to embrace change itself, by making a commitment to have zero negative impact on water resources by 2025. Another major element of the brand’s commitment is for its formulations to preserve water resources – a requirement of every new product launched by Biotherm. Biotherm uses recycled materials as often as possible, and at every stage of the life-cycles of its products. This year, 100% of the PET plastic used in its products will be from recycled sources. A perfect example is the WaterLover Sun Milk range, with a base formula that is 97% biodegradable, along with bottles that are made from 100% recycled plastic and are themselves fully recyclable, these sunscreen products are designed to minimize their impact on water resources and aquatic life.
