Conscious consumers search for products
based on their ethical lifestyle. Clean beauty movement demanded to ban synthetic
chemicals in beauty products, and now it is pushing for sustainable and zero-waste
packaging. Advocates are highly informing on the importance of the environment
conservation through glass packaging.
The Impact of Plastic Pollution in Our Lifestyle
Plastic is a popular and fast-growing option
for storage. The increase in the number of plastics from consumerism has
contributed to plastic pollution. The advantages to using plastic are that they
are durable and affordable. The disadvantages are that they are absorbent and
have a large impact on the health and environment. Have you notice your beauty products
melting through the plastic container? The toxic chemicals in plastics, such as
phthalates, disrupt and break down, reacting to the chemicals of the cosmetics.
Let’s Talk Glass
As concerns for the environment strikes,
consumers see glass packaging as an ethical preference. Glass is one of the most
sustainable and eco-friendly forms of materials. A Europe-wide survey,
conducted in 11 EU countries, revealed that 85% of Europeans would recommend
glass to their friends and family. The survey represented an increase of 15%
since 2009. These results reassured that consumers have become more conscious
of the positive sustainable benefits of glass packaging.
How Can We #OFFTHEPLASTIC?
Sustainability advocates restrain plastic;
therefore, many industries have stopped using them, and replaced them with
biodegradable and sustainable materials. It really is that simple. If there is enough
demand for change, companies will listen. AROMATICA uses more than 60% of
wasted glass to actively practice environmental protection. This practice
preserves and restores the planet by reducing the use of raw materials, and
contributing to the recycling system. The sustainable movement has spread awareness,
and more advocates have banned harmful materials in their purchases.
