As well as avoiding the use of packaging that integrates plastic pumps in favor of fully recyclable alternatives, Mel Millis packages a number of its products in standing [recycled paper pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onehand-pump-paper-pack) that have a natural look and texture. This is because the recycled paper material is actually embedded with wildflower seeds. Along with its "eco-lux wild flower seed packaging," Mel Mellis recommends that consumers elevate their beauty rituals with ceramic mixing vessels and muslin cloths, which serve as lasting alternatives to [single-use disposables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecopeacos-bath-bundle) like plastic cups and cotton rounds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable packaging solutions embedded with seeds for various industries. - **Recycled Paper Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of recycled paper material for packaging in the beauty, skincare, and other consumer goods industries. - **Sustainable Beauty Rituals:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create lasting alternatives to single-use disposables in the beauty and skincare industry, such as ceramic mixing vessels and muslin cloths. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate eco-friendly and sustainable packaging solutions in the beauty industry. - **Skincare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable packaging solutions for skincare products, focusing on recycled paper material and embedded seeds. - **Consumer Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement eco-friendly packaging practices, such as using recycled paper material embedded with seeds, across various consumer goods industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Paper Cosmetic Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-beauty-paper-packette.md) - [Paper Sampling Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-beauty.md) - [Marine Biotech Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dulcie.md) - [Ocean Plastic-Made Skincare Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-landscapes-collection.md) - [Paper-Packaged Haircare Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babo-botanicals.md) - [Fully Compostable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-seed-packaging.md) - [Home-Compostable Beauty Pipettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-pipette.md) - [Bio-Based Monomaterial Skincare Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisturizer-jars.md) - [Dissolvable Skincare Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderluxe-beauty.md)
