Globally, we produce an estimated 400 million tonnes of plastic waste every year, with half of it used only once. The beauty industry is a major contributor to this waste.
Natassia Grace developed a dissolvable face wipe that dissolves in water within 60 seconds or breaks down in a landfill in seven days, addressing plastic waste concerns.
Dr. Barbara Olioso warns that while dissolvable products may seem eco-friendly, not all materials are equally sustainable and consumers should scrutinize the environmental impact.
Conventional face wipes pollute waterways and can take almost 100 years to decompose. The beauty sector must innovate to reduce its significant waste footprint.
