Every day, we buy a lot of things. From the product to the packaging, it contains plastic and paper. While it may not seem like a lot, these products do generate a lot of waste. As time goes by, the packaging is simply thrown away.
These products then end up at landfills that release methane and carbon dioxide, or they end up at incinerators that consume large amounts of energy, only to generate more greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, deforestation has slowed the process of removing carbon dioxide and GHGs from the atmosphere. This is raising Earth's temperature and sea levels, accelerating climate change.
All of this is the result of small acts. But wait, did you know things can be different? We all have a role to play in saving the Earth. Together, this can be as easy as introducing sustainable products into our daily lives. Here are the four new sustainable alternatives from Watsons.
First is clean beauty. This is where we restrict the use of some ingredients, going beyond current legislation. Secondly, using sustainable materials and products such as sustainable palm oil, FSC certified paper, and reducing plastic usage. Thirdly, product packaging that is more environmentally friendly, like no plastic packaging, using FSC paper, bio-based plastics, and post-consumer recycled plastic, i.e., less virgin plastic is produced. Lastly, creating the habit of reusing and refilling bottles to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills.
These steps are all part of A.S. Watson Group's 2030 Sustainability Vision. So, let's work together to make this world a better place. Choose sustainable choices with Watsons.
