Tesco is removing a billion pieces of packaging from their stores

This year, we will assess the size and suitability of packaging as part of ranging decisions. Reviewing the packaging of every single product creates a huge opportunity. For example, using 23% less packaging on just one line of multi-buy crisps removes 5,000 tonnes of packaging and 50,000 road miles. Similarly, removing croissant packaging means 41,000 fewer plastic packs per week.

We’re now working with brands to do the same and we’re not stopping there, by the end of 2020 we will remove a further billion pieces of plastic from our UK business. Everything from ready meal trays, to the small plastic bags used for fruit and veg, to sporks and straws are set to go. We scrapped plastic bags with home delivery orders removing 250 million bags per year.

LEGO new sets creates awareness for real life environmental challenges

New LEGO® City and LEGO® Friends sets have been developed to create awareness about exploration and the protection of endangered species in the world’s jungles and oceans. To support the launch and engage children even further, a campaign has been developed in collaboration with National Geographic to encourage children to explore the world and maybe even develop their own creative ideas on solving the real-life challenges our world is facing. The campaign will invite kids and their parents to visit the heights and depths of the earth, and to learn about exploring our world and protecting wildlife in our oceans and jungles. This includes educational content about pandas, sharks, elephants, deep sea creatures and much more.

Reducing carbon emissions across Mastercard

At Mastercard, our first priority is continuously improving the environmental footprint of our offices and operations. The next step is ensuring our electronic payment solutions are built on a sustainable foundation by increasing the energy efficiency and by investing in renewable resources. By the end of 2018, Mastercard had reduced our emissions by 42% from 2016. We source renewable energy for 100% of our global operations, and we are committed to maintaining this goal. In 2018, our on-site solar arrays generated 1,725,808 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy, or 9.6% of the electricity consumed, and 79% of our owned and operated facilities’ total square footage is either green-building certified or located in a building that achieved green certification in that area of the world.

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.
