We learned this week that Japanese researchers have discovered a voracious bacteria capable of degrading the polyester. Yet this almost miraculous biological evolution face of human pollution should not we clear customs, especially as the applications of this bacterium remains highly uncertain.
While begin today Ocean Initiatives Surfrider Foundation, we wish to make a clear spot on our packaging and environmental impact…
Trouble happened plastics…
In cosmetics, it is unfortunately still very difficult to fully pass plastics. This is why the different organic labels in existing accept some considered less harmful.
At the level of our products, we face this problem… While most of the products of our range METEO LOGIC ® use packaging to 80% of glass, our solar products ALGA MARIS ® are still lack better, packaged in packaging Polypropylene and Polyethylene.
Although recyclable, we are attached to a reasonable use of these plastics. That is why we gradually develop our range to LDPE, Low Density Plastic for… A term also we are aiming to adopt recyclable and recycled plastics only, site we are working alongside our partners to maintain quality current preservation of our products.
Beyond the material…
Beyond the plastic used, there are many good practices to reduce the environmental impact of our products…
Indeed, we focus first of all that all partners in the packaging line are local, in order to minimize transportation. Then, all products of our pump ranges use a airless packaging © avoiding waste. Finally, all our products bear the pictogram «Tri Man» since January 2014 when it only became mandatory in January 2015.
Aware that all is not yet absolutely perfect and probably even insufficient given the urgency of the situation, know that we are very involved in the environmental impact of our packaging and we devote many resources to optimize thereof. We also invite you to respect the sorting rules when your products are completed and for most of you concerned, to participate in cleanups organized as part of the Ocean Initiatives… There is necessarily one near you even if you live far from the coast ?
