As there are billions of single-use coffee cups that end up discarded after they are used for only a very short period of time, Lush Cosmetics teamed up with James Cropper 3D Products to repurpose them for its eco-friendly bath oil packaging.
Lush Cosmetics is a company that has long shown its commitment to the environment by creating products in solid forms that can be purchased without containers. For its solid bath oils, Lush Cosmetics is now introducing packages that are constructed with 100% percent recycled coffee cup fiber, or 'COLOURFORM.' Like paper, COLOURFORM is fully recyclable and naturally biodegradable.
With the aim of using little to no plastic in their packaging designs, many brands are now repurposing old materials and adopting more sustainable solutions that help consumers to better support the environment.
