sustainability

recycling is a process in which materials that have been used and discarded are collected, sorted, processed, and transformed into new products or materials. recycling helps the environment in several ways by reducing waste, conserving natural resources, saving energy, and reducing pollution.

GloPotion cleanser, moisturiser and serums are fully recyclable. find out how to recycle your GloPotion products here.

post consumer recycled (pcr) material

post-consumer recycled material refers to materials that have been used by consumers, discarded, and then processed and transformed into new products or materials. this recycling process involves collecting, sorting, cleaning, and reprocessing materials that have reached the end of their useful life as consumer products. the resulting recycled material can be used to manufacture new products, reducing the need for virgin (newly extracted or produced) materials and minimizing waste.

GloPotion uses 30% pcr material in our cleanser, moisturisers and serums helping to:

• conserve resources: reduce the demand for virgin resources such as trees, oil, or minerals, conserving natural resources.
• energy saving: recycling typically requires less energy than producing materials from scratch.
• reduced landfill waste: recycling diverts materials from landfills, which helps reduce landfill space usage and limits environmental pollution associated with landfill sites.
• lower carbon footprint: recycling can lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to the production of new materials.
• encourages sustainability: the use of recycled materials promotes sustainable practices and a circular economy, where materials are reused and recycled, rather than discarded.

forest stewardship council (FCS) certified

the forest stewardship council (FCS) is a non-profit, international organization that was established in 1993 to promote responsible forest management and the sustainable use of forests worldwide. FCS operates as a certification and labeling system that helps consumers, businesses, and governments identify and support products made from responsibly managed forests.

to achieve FSC certification, forest management organizations and companies must undergo an independent audit by FSC-accredited certification bodies. these audits ensure that the certified entities adhere to the FSC's rigorous standards and requirements. these include the protection of biodiversity, the preservation of ecosystem services, the rights and well-being of local communities, and responsible forest management practices that reduce deforestation and forest degradation.

the paper used in GloPotion packaging is fsc certified assuring that our packaging meets these strict environmental and social criteria.

biodegradable

biodegradable products are items that are designed to break down naturally into harmless substances when they are discarded and exposed to environmental conditions like moisture, heat, and microorganisms. these products are typically made from materials that are organic, renewable, or derived from natural sources.

GloPotion sheet masks are made from sustainably farmed bamboo and are biodegradable. this helps to:

• reduce landfill waste: biodegradable products decrease the burden on landfills as they take up less space and do not contribute to long-term waste accumulation.
• conservation of resources: many biodegradable products are made from renewable resources or waste materials, reducing the depletion of finite resources like fossil fuels or minerals.

GloPotion sheet masks are best disposed with household rubbish as they are designed to degrade in a landfill rather than being compostable which are a subset of biodegradable materials that are specifically designed to break down in compost.

Ecologi

Ecologi is a company that focuses on environmental conservation and sustainability by facilitating carbon offsetting and reforestation initiatives. it offers individuals and businesses a platform to take climate action and reduce their carbon footprint.

GloPotion is a member of ecologi which allows us to offset our carbon emissions by investing in carbon reducing projects. these projects include reforestation and renewable energy initiatives. ecologi partner with organisations across the world and allow members to track exactly where each tree has been planted.

a portion of each GloPotion purchase goes towards supporting these projects.
