NIVEA is focusing on refillable and recyclable containers




Regardless of whether the material is plastic, glass, metal, cardboard or paper, we're constantly working on reducing the amount of material we use. Wherever possible, we apply the sustainability criteria; avoid, reduce, reuse and recycle to all of our packaging innovations. Today, nearly 100% of our packaging materials are recyclable. We have also reduced our packaging volume by 15% - saving 350 tonnes of plastic every year!
 
Refill pouches are just one way we reduce packaging. Thanks to refillable containers and reusable product packages, such as soap dispensers, waste volume can be substantially reduced. For example, the refill pouches for our NIVEA Creme Shower Gel result in 75% less waste.

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.
