Take-back and recycling points
The beauty industry is a source of joy for so many of us, helping people to look and feel their best. However, this currently comes at the cost of our planet. According to The Courage to Change report we produce more than 120bn units of packaging globally, much of which goes to landfill. In fact, our industry accounts for a whopping 1/3 of all landfill waste and 70% of our industry’s plastic waste is not recycled.
We can and must do better.
We urgently need to reimagine
and rethink for the future.
