Plastic-Free Products & Their Eco-Friendly Brands
More and more people are committing to eco-friendly practices in their daily lives by purchasing products that minimize their impact on the planet. With plastics being a primary polluter, consumers are seeking plastic-free alternatives. Let us introduce you to some of the many plastic-free products we offer, made by eco-friendly brands that practice transparency about their environmental impact.
Sadly, at least 80 percent of the 40 million tons of plastic waste generated in the U.S. in 2021 was sent to landfills. The cosmetics industry alone generates over 120 billion units of packaging annually, most of which end up in landfills or the ocean. This staggering amount of waste has a devastating impact on the environment.
