41% of consumers feel guilty about the environmental impact of beauty and grooming products, according to a 2020 British Beauty Council survey. Sustainability concerns increasingly inform consumer purchasing decisions; for example, Unilever has found its purpose-driven brands are growing at twice the rate of its other product lines.
From coral-bleaching chemicals to animal testing, plastic pollution, and beyond. The $400 billion-and-growing global cosmetics and beauty industry's environmental impact stretches from the sourcing of raw materials to production, distribution, and waste generated by end consumers.
The personal care and beauty industry is said to create a staggering 120 billion units of plastic packaging every year, contributing to waste, water pollution and marine life endangerment. Additionally, 95% of cosmetics packaging gets discarded, which turns packaging into one of the biggest sustainability challenges facing the beauty industry.
About 70% of the beauty industry’s waste comes from packaging 6. According to the latest reports from Zero Waste Week, beauty packaging amounts to 120 billion units every year. That includes plastic, paper, glass, and metals, all of which end up in landfills year after year.
