As World Sustainability Day approaches at the end of October, we're excited to share how our commitment to sustainability is more than just a buzzword for us—it’s a way of life! This week, our team gathered for an insightful Lunch & Learn session, diving deep into the impact of beauty packaging and learning how to continuously reduce its environmental cost. We were thrilled to host our partners from Berlin Packaging, who guided us through a rich discussion on: 🔍 Consumers' expectations around sustainability & packaging 🏆 Harnessing sustainability as a key differentiator in the market ♻️ Leveraging Life-Cycle Analysis to inform packaging choices 🤝 Engaging consumers in our mission through education Over the past few years, we have transitioned our bottles from virgin plastic to 100% PCR content, launched refill pouches made with 80% less plastic, and introduced water-resistant carton bottles in our haircare line. These seemingly small changes helped us reduce our virgin plastic consumption by over 6.6 tons just last year! A huge thank you to Berlin Packaging for being a forward-thinking partner in this journey. Together, we're not just changing our packaging—we're shaping the future of beauty! 🌱💚 Happy World Sustainability Day! #Sustainability #BeautyIndustry #Innovation #EcoFriendly #LifeCycleAnalysis #Teamwork #BaboBotanicals #WorldSustainabilityDay

🌎 Is a carton bottle truly "better for the environment" compared to regular plastic, aluminum or glass bottles? 🌿 Well, yes and no... YES ✅ : A thorough Life Cycle Analysis comparing bottles of the same size in each of these materials concluded that our carton bottle has the lowest impact on 7 out of the 8 environmental factors when measuring its footprint from raw material extraction all the way to its end of life, and the least impact overall: - Less fossil fuel use - Less greenhouse gas emissions - Less water consumption - Less mineral resource use - Less greenhouse gas emissions with carbon uptake - Less freshwater ecotoxicity - Less human impact NO ❌ : The idea that any packaging could be "better" for the environment hides the harsh reality that any piece of packaging, no matter how virtuous it might be said to be, has detrimental impacts on our planet. At Babo Botanicals, we think semantics matter, so our answer is that a carton bottle is not exactly "better" but rather "less harmful" for the environment when compared to plastic, aluminum or glass.
