From Your Favourite Skincare Bottle into a Vase: How Antipodes’ Recyclable Packaging is Changing How we Discard our Empty Containers.
You’ve been trying to scrape out the last remains of your skincare product from its bottle, and it’s time for its journey into the bin where you will never see it again. But what if you were to keep the bottle?
Antipodes’ environmentally friendly packaging features four revolutionary ways to decrease our carbon footprint; through reusable bottles, aluminium tubes, biodegradable boxes, and using vegetable inks for printing.
Antipodes seeks to decrease our impact on the environment by introducing sustainable packaging techniques, which aids in the recycling journey of the products. It’s all about preserving New Zealand’s organic and natural flora and fauna by making sustainably sourced products, and presenting them in environmentally friendly packaging.
Their signature brown glass alchemists’ bottles are able to be recycled, or can be reused as a vase or bottle for additional skincare. There are numerous ways for a bottle to be re-homed, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for your empty skincare bottles to gain a new lease on life.
Recyclable aluminium tubes have an excellent ecological performance, and can be recycled in a way that will minimise the damage caused by our previous recycling habits.
Alongside these two recyclable products, all of the boxes used are biodegradable, sourced from sustainable forests, and are printed with vegetable ink.
Antipodes partners with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in New Zealand and is the first ever beauty brand to partner with this organisation. The collaboration effort has resulted in a significant change in how we are discarding our empty products, through the recyclable packaging promoting environmental responsibility and awareness.
With Antipodes’ eco-friendly packaging, anything is possible with how you can reuse their bottles and tubes. Their packaging is a step in the right direction in helping our planet stay clean and green.
The start of the reusable packaging movement is upon us, so take action and think twice before you throw your skincare bottles away: they could become a home for your next bunch of flowers!
