An innovation to recycle cosmetic products

TerraCycle is an innovative company in the fight against waste, and offers recycling solutions for waste considered "difficult to recycle". 

For beauty professionals, TerraCycle has created a line of "Zero Waste Boxes" to transform cosmetic waste into a new raw material used in the manufacture of new objects, thus limiting the need to extract oil to create new virgin plastic.

This solution will prevent unrecycled waste from being sent to landfills where it remains for years, taking up a lot of space and sometimes releasing chemicals that are harmful to the environment, or from being incinerated and producing harmful gases. In the worst case, this waste can also end up in oceans and rivers, adding to the problem of environmental pollution.

Indeed, not all cosmetics can be "traditionally" recycled: the sorting instructions may vary according to the department or the municipality, and not all products accepted in the sorting bin can be recycled, often for reasons of economic opportunities. This is often the case for products made of several materials, such as make-up products. 

The Zero Waste Box allows the company to lighten the environmental footprint of its professional activity, but also to raise the awareness of its employees on the subject of plastic pollution and to offer customers a recycling solution, to improve their rate of frequentation and loyalty. 

To put in the zero waste box:

  • Packaging for body products such as sunscreens, shower gels and creams, moisturizers and hand and foot care products
  • Hair product packaging such as shampoo and conditioner bottles, masks and oils, gels and foams
  • Packaging for facial products such as make-up removers and cleansers, masks and scrubs, moisturizers, anti-aging creams and lip care products
  • Makeup products such as foundations, eyeliners, mascaras and lipsticks
  • Other cosmetic products: Empty perfume bottles, empty nail polish bottles, empty nail polish remover bottles

How does it work?

The boxes are available on the "Zero Waste Box" website. They are delivered to the site, where staff and/or customers can fill them with accepted waste. Once filled, you can use the pre-paid, pre-applied shipping labels to return the boxes to TerraCycle where they will be sorted and the waste sent for processing. The price of each zero waste box covers the cost of the box, shipping, storage in the materials storage and processing center, as well as the cost of transportation and waste sorting. 

TerraCycle then works with one of our partners who transforms the waste into a reusable raw material. The waste sent for recycling is shredded, washed and turned into agglomerates or granules. These pellets can then be melted down and molded by manufacturers to create new products such as planters, soap dishes or watering cans. 

Please note:

Retailers have the ability to customize the boxes with their own branding to encourage customer traffic and engagement. They can also benefit from internal and external communication support.

Limited edition Jo Malone London evokes the British Isles

Perfume and luxury goods brand Jo Malone London has teamed up with international beauty packaging manufacturer and supplier Quadpack to develop unique wooden closures for its new limited collection.

Every year, Jo Malone London draws on its British heritage to create a unique collection of limited-edition fragrances that play with unexpected ingredients to take you on a new and exciting olfactory journey. This year, the brand presents Wild Swimming. The idea behind the collection is the practice of swimming in natural bodies of water, enabling a connection between swimmers and nature. Whether in a lake, a river, a secluded pond or the open sea, nature is at the heart of the experience.

The natural beauty of the British Isles is explored in five limited-edition fragrances. From crystal-clear shoals and invigorating waves to hidden forest streams and city outdoor pools, each fragrance captures a unique aquatic experience.

The new Brit collection is presented in transparent bottles and engraved wooden lids, which perfectly complement the collection and transport you on a journey designed to capture a unique aquatic experience. Made from FSC-certified wood30ml and 100ml cologne caps, as well as home candle lids, are decorated using innovative techniques to create a driftwood effect where each piece is unique.

The wooden closures are sourced from sustainably managed European forests. They are manufactured at the Quadpack Wood factory, a pioneering sustainable development site powered by renewable electricity and a biomass plant. The final aesthetic of the driftwood is achieved by a layering technique followed by a sanding process that creates exclusive patterns on each cap.

Quadpack Wood's expertise was essential to such an ambitious project. As leaders in the field of wooden components for cosmetics, we have the best minds and the technology to rise to the challenge. Combined with our knowledge of decoration, this expertise brought Jo Malone London's unique closures to life, while adding a touch of the sea.

Nuwen launches a range of hygiene products in dissolvable tablets

At the Cosmetic 360 trade show in Paris, Nuwen presented its latest innovation: a shower gel in tablet form. Developed using Tab&Care technology, the Cosmos Natural-certified shower gel dissolves in water and transforms into a classic shower gel.

As a manufacturer of finished cosmetic products, Nuwen has been the specialist in powder cosmetics in France for 35 years. After launching a range of powder hygiene products in 2021, Nuwen is now offering a shower gel tablet to be dissolved in water.

Tab&Care technology

Tab&Care is a global technology that combines industrial compression know-how unique in France with formulation specifications that take into account environmental responsibility, quintessence and sensoriality. "Our R&D team carried out extensive formulation work. The challenge was to successfully combine effective natural ingredients compatible with the compression action to obtain a smooth, solid tablet perfectly suited to the neck of the packaging", explains Sandrine Le Guichard, Head of the R&D Department.

Shower gel dissolving tablets

The shower gel tablet is a real feat of innovation and practicality. The lozenge is the result of compressing a powder made from natural ingredients to deliver just the right amount of product. This new, easily refillable product promises a unique sensory experience thanks to its generous, creamy foam. Tests reveal that the sensorial quality of the foam is far superior to other products on the market.

Reducing water footprint

By choosing to formulate water-free cosmetics, Nuwen offers cosmetics brands a real solution for reducing their water footprint. The company has chosen to promote responsible consumption of cosmetics by formulating waterless cosmetics to offer a real solution for reducing the water footprint. Waterless products are more compact, leave less waste behind and are lighter to transport.

The Upcycling Summit in Lyon

Upcycling or overcycling means making something new out of something old, with a gain in quality and added value for the end product. Used materials are given a new life, a new destiny.
On Thursday, October 27, 2022, the Upcycling Festival Association is organizing a professional event in Lyon dedicated to this topic, with the main theme of upcycling and the energy & ecological transition. It's the meeting place for national and European upcycling players from all sectors.

The Upcycling Festival brings together a community of nearly five thousand managers, executives and specialists on the Linkedin social network. Through their exchanges on this channel, it became clear that supply and demand didn't know each other. While everyone has their own expertise and projects, there's a lack of a physical place for dialogue and meetings, where people can exchange ideas, forge partnerships and forge fruitful collaborations. Hence the strong demand from the community to organize a meeting.
The aim of our association is to reference all the players in the sector and create links between them to contribute to the development of this new circular economy industry." explains Jacques Chalvin, President and Founder of the Upcycling Festival.

From 11.30am to 12pm, Hervé Zeller, CEO & Founder at Propice, Pauline Grumel, Director at Unisoap, and Laurent Schubnel, CSR Group SRR Leader at Gattefossé, will lead a roundtable discussion on the world of cosmetics.

Dries Van Noten's bottle awarded at the Formes de luxe 2022 Awards

The recently launched refillable bottle of Dries Van Noten Eau de Parfum is awarded in the category of best perfume bottle at the prestigious Formes De Luxe awards in October 2022. This attractive glass bottle is manufactured at Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie and consists of ten shells on the bottom of the bottle, four different materials (porcelain, plastic, wood, metal) and two types of lacquering (eight classic and two Quali Glass Coat 2.0, an exclusive STO ecological powder coating).
A first of its kind for Stoelzle, the innovative features involve the development of ten products at once; a complete, multi-material product line with the need to adapt the gluing process to account for dimensional differences, between shell and bottle, depending on the material. Each of the ten bottles requires a different bonding system, which is a first for Stoelzle in combining so many materials at once.
Dries Van Noten's collectible bottle also offers a unique unscrewing system, with a mesh inside so that the closing mechanism is invisible. A special key is included with the refill bottle to unlock the pump, as well as a funnel for easy filling.

The innovative bottles are refillable and reusable, which allows them to be transformed into soliflore and to become real objects of art. The bottles can also be used as perfume diffusers.
The creative director of the brand that bears his name, Dries Van Noten, was inspired by his passion for flowers and gardening to come up with a concept for the bottles. This inspiration led him to team up with leading international perfumers who interpreted different aspects of the brand's unique character.
The brand has entrusted Stoelzle Masnières with the exclusive production of the glass and decoration of these refillable bottles, which, like the world of Dries Van Noten, have a striking visual appeal.
For Dries Van Noten Beauty, integrity and sustainability are the basis of everything that is developed.

All their products are designed to be refillable and have a lower impact on the environment. As for the production of the bottles, they contain 11.6 % of recycled industrial glass (PCR glass). In addition, two of the bottles in the line are powdered with Stoelzle's exclusive Quali Glass Coat 2.0 decoration technique, following an eco-friendly approach.
Dries Van Noten's beautiful bottles can be seen in ten variations of designs, eight of which are lacquered: Jardin de l'Orangerie, Neon Garden, Rosa Carnivora, Cannabis Patchouli, Voodoo Chile, Rock the Myrrh, Fleur du Mal, Silk Malaquais; and two are powdered (STO's exclusive Quali Glass Coat 2.0 process): Raving Rose and Santal Greenery.
The Stoelzle team is proud to have been recognized as best in class at the Formes De Luxe luxury packaging innovation awards.

La Roche-Posay at the Word Cancer Congress

On October 19, La Roche-Posay will be in Geneva for the first time, to take part in the world's biggest cancer event: the Word Cancer Congress. As the only dermo-cosmetics brand to be invited to this event, this testifies to La Roche-Posay's legitimacy in supporting and improving the quality of life of cancer patients. The Congress is organized by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).La Roche-Posay has just signed an exclusive partnership with the leading cancer association, to raise public awareness of the full range of supportive care services available to patients suffering from treatment-related skin side-effects.

During the Congress, Dr. Delphine Kerob, dermatologist and Scientific Director of La Roche-Posay, will be speaking on the subject of skin toxicities caused by treatment, alongside journalist and columnist Agathe Auproux, who has herself been through the ordeal of cancer and its treatment. 

La Roche-Posay launches a vast campaign aimed at patients and their caregivers, focusing on the "restorative power of touch".

La Roche-Posay, in collaboration with BETC, Annex88 and Canadian director Samir Mallal, has chosen to highlight the power of touch for cancer patients in its awareness-raising film. Touch soothes, comforts and reduces anxiety and pain ****, but many patients are deprived of it when undergoing treatment, because their skin is irritated, damaged and painful. Yet these simple gestures, performed by a partner, caregiver or doctor, can be a lifeline for patients, when combined with appropriate skin care.

The campaign was born out of the fact that, for 80 % of patients***, supportive care is just as important as cancer treatment itself.

Another key aspect of the campaign was the use of real cancer patients and their families, rather than actors. In addition to the film, La Roche-Posay has prepared a 360° communication plan for October Rose, including a home page where patients and their families can find the La Roche-Posay patient guide, expert advice and testimonials.

One year after the launch of the ambitious "Fight with care" program, it's time to take stock. 

As part of its "Fight with Care" program, La Roche-Posay has set itself the target of allocating 1% of its sales by 2025 to awareness-raising, training and patient assistance initiatives through support for associations and product donations. And in just one year, the results are already very encouraging:

  • 160,000 people worldwide have benefited from support projects financed by La Roche-Posay, including almost 13,000 in France. Among them, 11,000 have been cared for by socio-aesthetics professionals, a profession that is still little-known, yet vital in providing care for patients weakened by cancer.
  • Since June 2022, more than 1,600 women in France have already been able to benefit from personalized online support on M@ Maison RoseUp, a digital service initiated by RoseUp association, of which La Roche-Posay is one of the financial backers.

"La Roche-Posay is an important partner for the RoseUp association. It supports our information mission by advertising in Rose magazine. It is also one of the financial backers of our new M@ Maison RoseUp platform, which enables us to be at the side of the greatest number of women affected by cancer throughout the country. Finally, La Roche-Posay has contributed to the production of our first corporate film, "Putain de maladie", which helps to reinforce our reputation and visibility with the general public". commented Isabelle Huet, director of the RoseUp association.

La Roche-Posay is also focusing its efforts on training: by 2022, it has trained nearly 8,000 healthcare professionals in oncology and the side effects of treatments, including almost 5,000 pharmacists, who since January 2021 have played a key role in supporting cancer patients and managing side effects. In particular, they can offer talks to patients undergoing oral chemotherapy(CTO). In this way, La Roche-Posay is helping to fund the development of training modules by Afsos, Association Francophone des Soins Oncologiques de Support, to help pharmacists develop their skills.

It is essential to raise awareness among patients and their caregivers of the cutaneous side effects of cancer treatment, and of ways to alleviate them. We still hear too many patients say "if only I'd known about these solutions, it would have changed my life!". We don't want to hear that again. That's why we've launched the Fight With Care program, with the aim of raising awareness among as many people as possible who are or will one day be confronted directly or indirectly with cancer, either as a patient or as a caregiver. said Laetitia Toupet, General Manager, La Roche-Posay International.

"As the world's 1st dermo-cosmetic brand recommended by dermatologists, it is our duty to advance knowledge and management of the cutaneous side effects of all types of cancer. Beyond the efficacy of our products, it is by adopting a holistic approach and going beyond skin care that we can also be useful. We must continue to collaborate with the whole ecosystem and support leading cancer experts and patient associations." - added Benjamin Brunschwig, Director of Sustainable Development at La Roche-Posay.
