Solutions Series: How Waterless Products Make Plastic-Free Packaging Possible

From body wash to shampoo, and moisturizer to sunscreen, many people use numerous personal care and beauty products daily, and because most of these products are liquids, they are packaged in plastic. More than 120 billion units of plastic cosmetics packaging are produced every year, and while brands may claim these are recyclable, most ultimately end up in landfills, incinerators, and ecosystems where they continue polluting. It’s clear that the personal care and beauty industries contribute to plastic pollution globally, but what solutions exist to provide necessary and everyday products without plastic? On July 30, Plastic Pollution Coalition hosted a webinar to learn from businesses that are solving this problem by redesigning their products to remove water and toxic chemicals, thereby eliminating the need for plastic packaging. Joining the discussion was Kate McLeod, Co-Founder & Formulator, Kate McLeod; Ericka Rodriguez, Founder, Axiology; and Sarah Spliethoff, Founder, Sunniemade. The webinar was moderated by Nichola Gray, Co-Founder & CEO, Kate McLeod.
