Globally, statistics show that up to 42% of plastics are used for packaging, the vast majority of which are intended for single-use only. As a result, plastic pollution poses a far-reaching and long-lasting threat to ecosystems. Worryingly, the recycling rate of plastic is only 10%, which means that up to 90% of plastic is doomed to be incinerated, landfilled, or directly enter the natural environment. Notably, plastic typically takes between 20 to 400 years, or even longer, to degrade. During this process, fragments or microplastics generated from the decomposition of plastic remain in the atmospheric cycle for the long term, impacting our ecological environment and daily life ubiquitously, from water bodies to the food chain and soil. With the rising environmental awareness, the beauty industry is actively exploring sustainable innovations. In the field of skincare packaging, sustainable skincare packaging has become a topic of great concern.
Definition of Sustainable Skincare Packaging
Sustainable skincare packaging aims to minimize environmental impact. This includes using recyclable, biodegradable, or renewable resource-derived materials. Additionally, it involves designing packaging with limited materials to avoid waste and encourage consumers to reuse the products.
Trends in Sustainable Skincare Packaging
Material Selection: More and more brands are choosing to use degradable plant fibers, recycled materials, or recyclable materials to make packaging. This helps reduce plastic pollution and resource waste.
Packaging Design: The design of sustainable skincare packaging should be simple, practical, and easy to recycle. Some brands have also introduced reusable packaging, such as refillable bottles and jars.
Environmental Awareness: Consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental friendliness of packaging. They are more willing to choose environmentally friendly products and are even willing to pay extra for sustainable skincare packaging.
Efforts by Domestic and International Brands
L'Oréal: L'Oréal plans that by 2030, 95% of the ingredients in their brand formulas will be bio-based ingredients, and 100% of plastic packaging will be recyclable.
Proya: In its report, Proya Group disclosed that by reducing carbon dioxide emissions and adopting green packaging, it has achieved its environmental goals.
