We spend hours taking care of ourselves every morning and every evening, and if our routine became more responsible ? From shampoo to toothpaste, dehydrated products environmentally friendly arrive in your bathroom without delay .
The production of plastic has a huge carbon footprint. Its manufacture from impressive quantities of oil or other energies but above all the very water-intensive process is a scourge. Instead of thinking about ways to recycle packaging, some brands focus on reformulation n of their products, removing water from their composition and changing the packaging of their care. These new strong products are growing in popularity with consumers.
Our bathrooms are filled with care and hygiene items mostly in plastic containers destined to end their lives at the bottom of the oceans. Indeed, only 9% of plastic is recycled in the world. Paradoxically, between 8 and 9 out of 10 French people say they are sensitive or very sensitive to environmental issues. (Ademe 2018 study )
So to help us honor our resolutions for this year, starting with taking care of ourselves and our beautiful planet, solid products invite themselves to our home.
Products without water are very environmentally friendly in the sense that their volume and weight are reduced, thus minimizing the means necessary for their transport and their carbon footprint and obviously drastically reducing non-recyclable plastic packaging.
Completely in line with current environmental concerns, solid cosmetics and zero waste make it possible to reduce or even eliminate superfluous and polluting packaging. And good news, the vast majority of French people (78%) consider that consuming responsibly is more of a profound change in consumption than a passing trend. (Harris Interactive 2018 )
