The zero-waste community has been growing rapidly, getting more attention, and setting new trends in many industries.
According to Shopify eCommerce Market Credibility Study, there has been a 71% increase in online searches for “sustainable goods” in the past six years, especially in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.
Brands have increasingly tried to exclude any kind of plastic or synthetics from their products, from beauty products to the food and beverage industry.
In their ads, blogs, and social media posts, companies often include keywords such as cruelty-free, eco-friendly, and environment.
The beauty industry especially got caught in this culture, with more and more brands saying no to animal testing and including only natural ingredients into their products.
However, many brands still overlook the packaging, which in most cases still contains plastic.
Sulapac – A Biodegradable Plastic Alternative
Sulapac is a fully biodegradable, wood-based material that has been increasingly used as a zero-waste packaging for many beauty and food service products.
The material is GMO-free and food contact approved.
Key characteristics:
• It doesn’t leave any microplastic behind. It biodegrades fully into CO2 and water.
• Climate and environmentally friendly – it doesn’t leave a large carbon footprint.
• Its high-quality and low oxygen transmission make this packaging a great solution for oil-based content.
• It is made from sustainable raw materials.
What is so great about Sulapac is that it doesn’t leave the microplastic behind. Microplastics are small plastic fragments that release toxic elements when products start degrading.
Many environmentally concerned brands that claim to use only natural ingredients fail at the packaging materials and use plastic packaging for their products.
At Origine Cosmetica, we are 100% devoted to a completely natural and zero-waste beauty routine and being kind to our planet.
