The Plastic Solutions Summit – Four Pillar Plastic Pledge
The Sustainable Beauty Coalition is working to empower businesses across the beauty industry to reduce and, ultimately, remove their reliance on plastic.
Through its Plastic Solutions Summit, it brings together business leaders from across personal care to figure out a scalable system to tackle plastic waste. Each year sustainability leaders brainstorm solutions to the industry’s plastic consumption.
The latest PSS looked at how businesses can collaborate legally to bring down the costs of plastic alternatives or invest in innovation around other kinds of packaging.
Below is the four pillar Plastic Pledge which is set to be put in action by the SBC:
As part of its commitment to sustainability, The British Beauty Council has signed up to the government’s Climate Pledge via the SME Climate Hub, an initiative developed in conjunction with the United Nations Race to Zero Campaign. The campaign provides tools and resources to help small businesses take action, measure and communicate their progress towards reducing their emissions. You can also sign up here.
