With Earth Day celebrations upon us, it’s time to take a quick minute to fill you in on all of our efforts, both recent and new, toward creating the most Earth friendly packaging possible for our products. We’re also taking the opportunity to showcase some of our more innovative and stylish packaging that is both easy on the eyes and the planet.
First off, all of our tubes and bottles are made with a minimum of 30% recycled plastics, and we’re working every day for higher levels of recycled content. As it is, that means that we save enough plastic bottles each year to reach the International Space Station and back!
We also like to see what stylish little accessories we can create using recycled materials, which is how we came up with our Recycled Compact Mirror. Recognize the design? Yep, it’s the same rose worn by our Moroccan Rose line that so many of you seemed to love, and this baby sports 50% post-consumer recycled material. So aside from being cute and functional, it’s highly eco-friendly.
Speaking of functional, we hopped on the reusable bag craze with a trendy little design of our own. Just throw this cotton tote over your shoulder for groceries, shopping trips, or pool visits. Not only is it eco-friendly, but the proceeds are donated to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
We’re also really excited to announce the debut of our Hello Again recycled toiletry bags and organizers, which are made from recycled plastic bottles. You’d never guess it from their sleek, black sophistication, but these bags have nothing but respect and love for our planet!
And of course we love finding creative and quirky ways to reuse our packaging. Many of our gifts come in tins that can be reused for earrings, change, or as a travel case for vitamins. And someone even pointed out to us that the packaging from the Joyful Aromas kit makes an excellent doll closet, complete with drawer, once the gift is in use! Now that’s a fun conservation tip we can love.
We enjoy working towards increasingly earth-friendly packaging that’s both beautiful and functional. We’d love to hear your thoughts on all that we’re designing, so feel free to leave feedback in the comments section.
