Sustainable Packaging: Glass vs Aluminum vs Bioplastics

When purchasing your cosmetics, it’s important to understand how different packaging materials impact the environment. Common materials used include glass, aluminum, and bioplastics.

Glass is often used for packaging due to its quality resilience and functionality. The material can be recycled and reformed to create new forms of packaging. Given that glass is mainly derived from natural substances, it is deemed more sustainable than plastics.

Once plastics enter the natural environment, they can further decompose and release microplastics into soils and water.
