By developing a solid hair and skincare line with fully compostable packaging for the beauty industry, Lithuanian player Solidu is setting its sights at the growing market for eco-friendly products in the North American cosmetics and personal care market.
Swedish eco-startup Lifelong has developed a range of powdered personal care products that need to be mixed with water by consumers and stored in durable containers, drastically overturning traditional habits, its founder says.
Labels designed to inform consumers about the recyclability or disposability of plastic packaging create confusion worldwide and industry must address this collectively and urgently, says the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Consumers International.
