The UK cosmetics and personal care industry is committed to creating products that not only support our health, hygiene and confidence, but also care for our planet. From ingredient sourcing to packaging, product use and end-of-life disposal, every stage of a product's journey has an impact, and we all have a role to play in reducing it.
The Sustainability section brings together clear, factual information on how the industry is working to lower its environmental footprint. Explore resources on recycling, responsible packaging, green chemistry, microplastics, carbon footprints and how Life Cycle Thinking is helping brands design products with the planet in mind.
Sustainability is a shared responsibility. By understanding the science behind products and making informed choices, we can all play a part in protecting our world.
