Each of us would like to live in a clean and environmentally friendly world. This means conscious care for yourself and the environment. What can we do right now?
At the end of the last century, a huge garbage island with an area of about a million square kilometers was discovered in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean. Journalists immediately dubbed it the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” Most of all, it looks like a soup made of plastic, which gradually sinks into the bottom layers. Plastic pellets end up in the stomachs of marine animals – they mistake them for plankton, and then into our stomachs – along with fish. There is a similar garbage island in the Sargasso Sea. Every year the number of plastic landfills is growing, and if this continues, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. A significant part of this garbage is packaging from cosmetics.
Our habits today determine what our planet will be like tomorrow.
To conserve the resources of the oceans, Biotherm uses unique biotechnologies – Blue biotech. They provide:
development of new packages that are made from recycled materials and are subject to further processing;
creating formulas that are safe for the environment;
introduction of new processing technologies;
minimizing the impact of products on water bodies and marine organisms.
The sunscreens in Biotherm products do not harm corals.
Achievements and plans of Biotherm in the field of sustainability
Starting March 2021, 97,8% of Biotherm’s plastic bottles are made from recycled plastic. In the same year, the brand began a project to renovate the packaging of all products in its range.
By 2023, Biotherm aims to ensure that all plastic packaging contains at least 50% recycled plastic. In addition, where possible, the brand will switch to the use of bio-recycled plastic.
By 2025, the brand will reduce its consumption of fossil fuel-based plastics by 80%.
By 2030, 100% of the plastic used in Biotherm packaging will be recycled or bio-based.
