Pact Accord
*
No one company can tackle beauty’s packaging waste problem alone. To drastically reduce our environmental impact, we as peers and competitors must come together as a collective that adheres to Pact’s values of promoting transparency, sharing best practices, speaking a common language, and making meaningful improvements to our beauty packaging. Together, we commit to diverting hard-to-recycle beauty packaging from landfill via Pact’s collection programs, seeking the highest and best use for this collected material, and using our findings to educate the larger beauty community on the needed steps toward circularity. By joining Pact, you agree to work together as a collective towards the goal of reducing packaging waste and material use, while increasing recyclability and circularity for our industry as well as the greater good of the planet.
