Vodafone launches half-sized SIM cards to reduce plastic waste

Vodafone is replacing the standard credit card-sized SIM holder with a new half-sized format that reduces by 50% the amount of plastic used to produce SIMs as part of a wider strategy to minimize the company’s use of all non-essential plastics.

This initiative alone will reduce Vodafone’s plastic waste by more than 340 tonnes per year, and will save up to 15 tonnes of the CO2e emitted during production and transportation for every tonne of plastic reduced – a reduction of more than 5,000 tonnes of C02e annually.

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 .

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.
