Hate plastic pollution? we've got the solution

The beauty industry isn't exactly innocent in the whole environmental scene. Would you believe they churn out a mind-blowing 142 billion packaging units every year globally? And despite our good intentions, a big chunk of that ends up in landfills, which isn't exactly helping the planet.

Only 9% of plastic is being recycled. Every piece of plastic that has ever been made is still on our Earth somewhere. Some of it will gradually breakdown, getting smaller and smaller but never actually goes away. It will take between 450 and 1,000 years to break down plastic.

8M tons of plastics leaks into the ocean every year. Plastic can affect marine species in a variety of ways, from entanglement and injury to ingestion and toxic contamination. The major determining factor is the size of the plastic, which can adversely affect different species in different ways – and on different timescales.
