Embracing sustainable beauty: The power of upcycled ingredients. 🍊🥝🌹🫐 In a world where sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, the beauty industry is undergoing a transformative shift towards more eco-conscious practices. Ensuring we make the best choices with the lowest impact on nature’s finite resources is a balancing act. THG LABS world-class chemists and innovators are creative thinkers and problem solvers. We apply this skill to support greater sustainable development. As well as prioritising selection of natural ingredients that are crafted through biotechnology, fermentation, and regenerative agriculture, and creating formulations that use less energy and water, we realise the need to challenge ourselves to see treasure rather than trash and embrace the enormous potential of upcycled ingredients. As part of this we continue to support and collaborate with leading ingredient creators in this area to ensure our products fulfil our consumer’s desire for sustainable and natural beauty products. Being part of the change and collectively helping to shape the direction of the industry will play a pivotal role in reducing waste and conserving resources.

Excited to share that I'm officially partnering with the Sustainable Packaging Summit 2024 in Amsterdam on November 12th-13th. It's an event that's been on my radar for ages, and I'm thrilled dates finally align for me to attend this year. What makes the event special is its action-oriented focus. From meaningful dialogues to innovative solutions, it's all about driving impact. A summit, not a conference—where every attendee is an active participant. And it’s not just about talking the talk when it comes to sustainability either—it's about rolling up sleeves and making real changes in the packaging industry. Really excited about the line up of speakers, each an industry leader in their respective fields: David Katz: Founder of Plastic Bank, leading the way forward with groundbreaking solutions to combat plastic waste and uplift communities. Francesca Siciliano Stevens: Director General of EUROPEN, spearheading efforts to shape policies for a more circular economy in Europe. Jodie Roussell: Offering practical insights from Nestlé on how global brands are tackling packaging challenges head-on. Raffi Schieir: Founder of Prevented Ocean Plastic, passionately dedicated to confronting one of our planet's most pressing environmental threats. Surendra Patawari and Vikas Chhajer: Leaders at Gemini Corporation, revolutionising waste management by turning it into valuable resources through recycling. Willemijn Peeters: CEO of Searious Business, leading the way forward by promoting circular solutions and sustainable innovations across industries. This year both the Sustainable Packaging Summit and Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) events will be co-located at Amsterdam’s most inspiring venue, the Beurs van Berlage so even more reason to join! If you're passionate about sustainable packaging or simply eager to make a difference, I'd love to connect with you at the summit. Let's come together, learn, and leave feeling even more inspired to create positive change.

Oh, absolutely! The most sustainable coffee capsule solution that's just revolutionizing the industry, especially in the US! I mean, who needs to worry about the mountains of waste generated by single-use coffee capsules when we have this magical solution, right? It's truly remarkable how this solution has become a major category driver. People are just flocking to it, eager to sip their coffee guilt-free, knowing that they're saving the planet one capsule at a time. Forget about all those other so-called sustainable options out there, this one takes the cake! But hey, let's not get too carried away with the greatness of it all. While it's important to celebrate progress, let's also keep a critical eye on the bigger picture. Are coffee capsules really the most sustainable solution? Are there other alternatives that we should be exploring? Let's not settle for mediocrity when it comes to sustainability. So, yes, it's great that there's progress being made in the coffee capsule world. But let's not lose sight of the irony and continue to push for even better, truly sustainable solutions. #askthinkactshare #nespresso #nestle

🌿 Embracing the Green Shift: The Imperative for Producers 🌿 In the narrative of sustainable innovation, much emphasis is placed on consumer benefits. However, it's imperative to understand the broader spectrum and recognize the role and responsibility of producers in this paradigm shift. 1. Steering Environmental Stewardship: Countries like Germany and Canada are testaments to the power of industry shaping a sustainable future. Producers are at the forefront, driving and catalyzing green changes that have ripple effects through society. 2. Crafting a Legacy:  Iconic brands like Patagonia and Tesla are not just companies; they are movements, symbols of what businesses can achieve with an eco-conscious vision. When producers champion sustainability, they craft stories and legacies that outlive quarterly reports. 3. Fostering Innovation and Adaptability: The resilience of a business is often measured by its ability to innovate and adapt. Embracing green technologies and processes, like those compatible with standard extruders, signifies a company’s agility and foresight. 4. Meeting Global Standards and Expectations: With Europe's Ecolabel certification and Asia's growing eco-conscious market, there's an evident global shift towards sustainability. Producers play a pivotal role in aligning with these evolving norms and values. 5. Pioneering Tomorrow’s Industry Trends: Prominent brands like Starbucks and Unilever are setting benchmarks, emphasizing the industry's trajectory. Those producers that don't just follow but set these trends are the ones that will shape the industry narrative. In weaving the tapestry of a sustainable future, it's vital to understand that each stakeholder, from consumers to producers, holds a thread. And while the journey towards sustainability is multi-faceted, products like GreenPlast represent the harmonious melding of environmental duty and industrial innovation. #DrivingGreenChange #ProducerResponsibility #PathToSustainability #GreenPlastFuture
