The
problem
plastic packaging has become a major problem for our earth. one of the main contributors to this is the cosmetics production market, which consists of hair care products, skin care products, and of course, cosmetics application products (lipstick, eyeshadow, etc.). In 2024, the cosmetics production market it is projected to be worth 863 billion USD, making it an enormous market. due to this, Plastic dominates the cosmetics market. Mainly because of its convenience, hygienic qualities and low price point. Plastic packaging makes up 61% of this market and is looking to increase in use over the future years. however, plastic takes 450 years minimum to decompose, making it highly toxic to our environment.
​
As a society, it is important to escalate the idea of envirosafe packaging solutions to further benefit the sustenance of the planet we inhabit. We only get one shot as a population to sustain the planet we occupy, and it is essential to focus in on aspects that need to change for the better of our future.
Our
solution
at c-green cosmetics, we not only strive to be plastic-less, but to also enforce the idea of upcycling. we do this by using ecopoxy resin to mold our palettes, lipstick tubes, bottles and compacts. ecopoxy resin is comprised of plant-based material that ensures structural integrity of the cosmetic packaging without the worry of toxicity and harm to our planet. further, c-green provides the consumer with simple step-by-step photo based tutorials that visualize the upcycling process. upcycling is a way in which the consumer can reuse their c-green product packaging back into the world as a bird feeder, bird house, small planter, and so much more. here at c-green, our goal is to push the idea of eco-friendly packaging further than ever before. c-green is hopeful that we can push back the overflow of plastic packaging and encourage our cosmetic counterparts to take creative eco-friendly chances with their cosmetic packaging. join the movement and create a change you can see!
