People are most familiar with buying soap in bottles or boxes, but now, brands like Niul Cosmetics are exploring alternative packaging solutions like aluminum cans as an easily recyclable alternative that cuts packaging costs and helps reduce reliance on plastic. The brand's Sabonete Líquido is a vegan, cruelty-free product, and it's available in different versions like Selva, Flora, and Alma, which can be paired with a pump for ease of dispensing.
Polar, Ltda. helped Niul Cosmetics rethink the conventional soap packaging system, noting that Brazil recycles only a portion of its plastic waste, yet nearly 100% of aluminum is recycled. What's more, recycling aluminum is a source of income for more than 800,000 people, and saves 95% of the energy compared to producing new aluminum.
