Plastics... plastics... how do we get rid of this waste pollution shortening our life span on Earth?
Words by Nana Valdueza
With tons of plastic wastage threatening us, the beauty industry does not fall far from being one of the aggravators of this threat. Look at your bathroom. What do you see? Bottles and bottles of beauty products lined onto your organizers, ready to be added to next week's estimated 29 million tons of bottle trash expected to fill our oceans in 2040*, once they are empty.
Thankfully, the industry does not act deaf on this environmental problem. In fact, a few brands have been stepping up to create change. One sustainable way they have developed is reducing hair-care bottles with easy-to-use, safe-to-use, and environment-friendly shampoo bars. Discover these new bars for yourself and how effective it is for you and the environment.
