Bars Over Bottles
Join us to convince the largest hair care and body wash manufacturers to create bar forms of their product or offer refillable packaging. We must provide a better choice in order for consumers to change their habits.
Most of us purchase personal care products such as shampoo, soap, conditioner etc. For example, on average 300 million Americans use shampoo. We have done our research and found that using a bar version of these products versus a plastic bottled version is the way to go. We know we can make a huge difference together. Give it a try! These days the products out there are higher quality, and better for the planet.
The Problem:
- Bottled shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer can be up to 95% water. We are unnecessarily shipping water around the world in plastic containers.
- According to Zero Waste Week, more than 120 billion units of plastic packaging are produced globally/year by the cosmetics industry, contributing to loss of 18 million acres of forest annually.
- There are many new beauty products in bar form that are plastic-free, cost less, and better for you. These are readily available everywhere now.
- 91% of plastic isn’t recycled.
- $90 Billion is spent annually on just hair care products alone
- The number of shampoo bottles thrown out in the United States every year could fill 1,164 football fields.
The Solution:
Join us to call on Johnson & Johnson, L’Oreal, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever to invest in creating widely available, plastic free, more sustainable, bar alternatives to traditional personal care products.Â
