Have you ever stopped to think about how much waste your beauty routine creates? It's a significant contributor to the global problem. According to ONEarth.Org who have analysed the environmental impact of cosmetics. The beauty industry generates a staggering 120 billion units of packaging annually, 82% of which is not recyclable! That's a mountain of plastic, glass, and other materials every year ends up in landfills, polluting our oceans and our water systems. These statistics are so concerning, we decided to be the first brand to be 100% recyclable and tackle waste with a 360 approach. We are on a mission to change the beauty game!
Less is More: Minimal Ingredients, Major Impact
The average beauty product boasts a whopping 40 ingredients! While that may sound luxurious, each ingredient adds to the industry's environmental footprint. Transportation, processing, and packaging all contribute to carbon emissions.
Dr. Lipp flips the script by focusing on under 10 ingredients in every product. This seemingly small change has the biggest impact! Studies show it can reduce a product's carbon footprint by an incredible 75%! Less is truly more when it comes to sustainable beauty.
Bioplastic Power: Packaging with a Purpose
Dr.Lipp ditches fossil fuels for packaging! We use innovative Bioplastic, a 100% recyclable material derived from carbon-capturing sugarcane. This not only reduces our reliance on harmful plastics but also helps combat climate change. Bioplastic boasts a 30% reduction in emissions and shrinks our overall footprint by an impressive 42%. Sure, it might cost a bit more, but a healthy planet is priceless!
Closing the Loop: Recycle and Reuse
Recycling is key to combating beauty waste. Dr.Lipp is proud to offer 100% recyclable packaging. By simply tossing your empty tubes in the recycling bin after use, you're joining us in creating a closed-loop system. Remember, proper recycling is essential, so check your local guidelines!
Beyond Packaging: A Wasteful Industry
The issue goes beyond packaging. A staggering 10% of beauty products never even reach consumers, according to [beauty product waste statistics ON Professional Beauty professionalbeauty.co.uk]. That translates to billions of pounds worth of products wasted each year! Dr. Lipp is committed to responsible production to minimise waste throughout the supply chain.
Multi-Use Magic: Reducing Waste Before It Starts
Dr.Lipp goes beyond eco-friendly packaging! We also champion multi-use products to reduce overall waste. By going multi-use, you're not only saving yourself from buying more products, but it also means less products in the rubbish bin. Our innovative All You Need condenses a whopping 23 everyday products into just four! Less fuss, but more importantly, less waste in every sense of the way.
Beauty Shouldn't Cost the Earth: We Absorb the Cost
At Dr. Lipp, we believe beautiful skin shouldn't come at the expense of the environment. That's why we take the brunt of the cost associated with our eco-friendlier Bioplastic packaging. While it might be slightly more expensive, we believe a healthy planet is worth the investment.
