Nivea’s Sustainable palm oil sourcing to fight deforestation

This palm oil derivatives are used in 70 % of all cosmetics products. The problem with palm oil is that often large areas of rainforest are destroyed in order to make room for oil palm plantations. We believe that palm oil needs to be sourced sustainably without contributing to deforestation. Replacing palm oil with another plant-based oil is not the best option, though, because palm oil crops have a very high yield.

We promote the shift to sustainably produced palm oil with our partners along the entire supply chain. By 2018, we had already covered 63 % of our palm-based raw material volumes with sustainably certified raw materials (RSPO “Mass Balance” standard). We strive to ensure that our natural and naturally derived ingredients are sourced in a sustainable way to save resources. Our goal for 2020 is to source all Beiersdorf raw materials based on palm (kernel) oil from sustainable sources.

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.

Dyson is ensuring its equipment is disposed in an environmentally-friendly way

When we design, manufacture and distribute our machines, we have a duty to help protect our environment. But our responsibility also goes far behind this, to when those machines reach the end of their lives. It’s why we advocate the European Union’s WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive, which ensures electrical and electronic equipment is disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way. Our products may contain hazardous material that can have a negative impact on health and the environment if not disposed of properly. We are committed to the safe recovery of WEEE we produce, and are part of the largest compliance scheme, called REPIC (Recycling Electrical Producers Industry Consortium). REPIC is helping us and other major electrical manufacturers to achieve the WEEE objectives.
