2021 marks the beginning of China's 14th Five Year Plan and a turning point for the cosmetics industry. In the past two years, the competition in the cosmetics industry has intensified, coupled with the increasingly strong momentum of environmental protection. Many enterprises have actively or passively joined the environmental protection industry, while seeking a way out for their sustainable development, they have also contributed to the environment. For example, Arcade Beauty, a beauty product sample manufacturer, recently announced the development of a recyclable PE (polyethylene) packaging bag for L'Oreal Paris, the largest beauty brand under L'Oreal. Coincidentally, last week L'Oreal announced the launch of innovative cosmetic packaging bottles, with plans to start production in 2025. Combining with the "environmental actions" of other brands, the editor found that replacing packaging materials is their usual response, such as using soluble packaging, 100% recycled plastic, and so on. Previously, foreign media reported that certain brands have developed the technology of using bacterial cellulose to make plastic for cosmetics instead of packaging paper. Bacterial cellulose, also known as microbial cellulose, has good biological adaptability and biodegradability, and is a cutting-edge technology for reducing environmental pollution. It can be seen that packaging environmental protection is an inevitable trend in the development of cosmetics, and it is also an important technology for brands to enhance their competitiveness. In fact, besides packaging, we can also start from aspects such as raw materials, technology, and logistics. HERA, for example, improves its formula to better meet environmental requirements. One point is that the main product HERA Black Gold Durable liquid foundation is planted and produced with palm oil in a sustainable way certified by RSPO, Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil . In addition, Old Spice, a fragrance brand under Procter&Gamble, has a deodorant called Clean water, which is packaged in recycled paper and features an "upward push" design to reduce weight. The packaging of this product is made of 90% post consumer recycled materials, and it is reported to be the most environmentally friendly product among Procter&Gamble's men's beauty products to date. We know that reducing carbon emissions is the most direct method, so if logistics transportation is low-carbon throughout the process, the burden on the environment will inevitably be greatly reduced. For example, AmorePacific's brands have reduced the use of cushioning materials, turned to inflatable airbags to replace foam, and also used plant fiber tape that can be naturally degraded in a short time to replace traditional tape. Compared to before, the packaging and transportation process alone has become much more environmentally friendly. In summary, environmental protection has become a hot topic of discussion today, and today's consumers, in order to express their support for the environmental cause, basically have a "favorable impression" of this type of cosmetics. Therefore, regardless of the size of your own enterprise, it is always right to use more Dim sum on environmental protection!
