Packaging

We are taking action to develop packaging that our consumers will love and cherish – but with a reduced environmental impact.  We have created the Greener Packs logo to highlight our packaging solutions with a reduced environmental impact. 

Our packaging strategy is focused on five key areas:

1. Recycled MaterialsOur main packaging materials by weight are glass and plastic. Therefore, we focus on moving towards more post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and glass across all our brands.By 2025, a significant share of our plastic packaging will be from PCR or other sustainable materials. By using PCR materials, we reduce the amount of virgin materials used and contribute to a circular economy. PCR materials are not yet available for all types of plastic materials and may be difficult to source in some Oriflame markets. Therefore, we aim to use PCR materials where technically feasible, aligned with industry standards for safety and quality and will gradually increase the amount of PCR in our product packaging over time. Examples include our Beautanicals range, which uses bottles made from 100% recycled plastic.
2. Renewable MaterialsReplacing finite and fossil-based materials with responsibly managed renewable materials can decrease greenhouse gas emissions while reducing dependency on finite resources. We aim to source 100% of our paper and board packaging from FSC™ certified sources or recycled materials by 2025.
3. Lightweight packagingWe aim to reduce the overall weight of packaging material used in our products annually. The environmental impact of a product’s packaging can be reduced by improving the packaging design. Designing with the environment in mind gives us packaging that weighs less than a comparable or previous packaging and requires fewer natural resources to be made. We never compromise on the quality of our packaging. When we develop more lightweight packaging, tests are always conducted to ensure the packaging quality is approved and meets our packaging standards.
4. RefillsWe are committed to increasing our use of refillable and reusable packaging. Refillable packaging increases the product life cycle, as the main packaging can be refilled and reused several times. Refill systems use less materials and therefore reduce packaging waste, but they also require the consumer’s commitment to refill and reuse them. 
5. RecyclabilityWe strive to make our packaging recyclable, with the aim that it can be disposed of responsibly where recycling facilities are available. By 2025, we aim to have 75% of our packaging for Cosmetics and Wellness products designed to be fully recyclable, reusable, or compostable.
