It's a happy day today with some responses back from companies...and the good news is Adore Beauty - one of Australia's largest online beauty retailers has replied to a Facebook post.
"Hi Luci. Good question! At Adore Beauty we print on recycled paper, and pack your orders using compostable package filler and bio-degradable bubble wrap. Wher
e possible we re-use packaging that our suppliers send to us, and we encourage you to re-use or recycle any packaging material sent to you. I hope this helps! Celeste x"Great! Biodegradable bubble wrap - i didnt know we could get this & i just found in available in Australia from ECO Office.
It's been a great day out & about for someone like me who gets excited about recycled, biodegradable & compostable packaging. I have also come across Sanctum Skincare packs in biodegradable plastic packs with a recycled card box. Check them out on Sanctum's website - there is not a lot of detail about the type of plastic being used - but it is sure to be
better than most skincare packaging AND perhaps they are moving the entire range to this packaging?I was also curious to find an Ollo Olive Oil refill in the supermarket. This little package is twice as big as it looks. I have just visited the Ollo website for the lowdown on how eco this refill is...the claim is that it creates less emissions in manufacturing & also takes up less room in land fill.
This just shows me it is such a complex picture to look at - so many things to consider. So it is time to get some figures & get an idea just how important ECO Friendly Packaging is when we compare it to other impacts a company is having on the Planet.
For example - what is the most important - the contents of the packet - how they are made, where they are made OR the packaging. I am guessing they are all pretty important.
I am very amazed by the information of this blog and i am glad i had a look over the blog. thank you so much for sharing such great information.
