Earth Month at Our Center

Retailers:

Aesop

It may sound odd, but some of Aesop’s bottles are made from plastic, rather than glass. This was not a decision made lightly but is a solution to our practical packaging problems—it is also a little-known fact that plastic bottles have a lower carbon footprint than their glass counterparts. Most of the plastic used is recycled PET, which consists of at least 97% recycled material. Our recycled PET is made up of household plastic waste. These bottles have a much lower footprint than a vessel made entirely of virgin materials, and they meet our product performance needs perfectly. By the end of 2021, 89% of their plastic bottles were made from recycled PET, and they aim to use at least 50% recycled content across our entire plastic packaging range by 2025.
