“Our industry brings joy to a great many people, helping them to look and feel their very best. However, this must not come at the cost of our beautiful planet and currently our industry creates a lot of waste. According to The Courage to Change Report we produce more than 120 BILLION units of packaging globally, much of which goes to landfill. In fact, our industry accounts for a whopping 1/3 of ALL landfill waste. Moreover, 70% of our industry’s plastic waste is NOT recycled and only 1% of aluminium foils are recycled.
“We can and must do better and we urgently need to reimagine and rethink for the future.
“We therefore invite you to use this easy-to-use guide, the first of its kind, is a stepping stone in the right direction – to help you and your teams become more planet friendly, but also more pocket friendly, with many of the suggestions actually saving you money in the long run.
“Together, united we will make a huge, positive movement for change and a brighter, better, more beautiful future for us all.”
