The Future of Make Up is Refillable
Beauty is taking a more sustainable approach to the future by swopping out single use products and opting for products which can be refilled over and over again.
The cosmetics and personal care industry generates a lot of unnecessary rubbish. According to Zero Waste Week – an annual awareness campaign – the 120 billion units of packaging produced each year accounts for around 30-40 per cent of the total landfill waste.
Increased awareness from consumers calling for a serious packaging overhaul, has led to new innovations. Recyclable products are the first step, the next is to stop the waste from being produced in the first place. Recycle all beauty empties with The Pro Box.
This concept isn’t entirely new either – the likes of Mac, Aveda and Stila have been doing it for years – but it’s quickly becoming the norm as the pressure to find eco-friendly, waste-free solutions becomes increasingly pressing. It has also expanded to far more products, covering makeup, skincare and fragrances.
Products which cut down on packaging but not on “Wow Factor”.
