• Our Values
Beauty Circle
Through our circularity programme ‘The Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle’ we take ownership and responsibility for everything we produce by taking back all of our used packaging globally, to be either sterilised and refilled, or recycled.
It is important to understand that most beauty containers are not kerbside recyclable, so initiatives such as this are vital in order to redirect waste from landfill and move towards circularity.
It is estimated that alone, the beauty industry is responsible for over 100 billion units of waste every year - all of which are either incinerated, sent to landfill or end up in our oceans.
Alongside this, the sheer volume of single use packaging produced makes it the biggest contributor of carbon emissions in the industry.
It is predicted that in moving the beauty industry away from the existing linear model of ‘take, make, waste’, and towards a circular model, of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’, not only could we eliminate billions of units of waste, but carbon emissions could be reduced by up to 70%.
