On the OUTSIDE/Packaging: Juice Beauty’s Sustainable Team has an ongoing conversion effort. Our goal is to eliminate virgin plastic altogether by 2025. Here are some milestones:
- Recycled Plastic Bottles (PCR): We are converting all plastic bottles, to recycled plastic to achieve our goal of eliminating the use of virgin plastic. Learn more
- Sustainable Glass: 40% of our Products, including our Green Apple + Prebiotix Collections are in sustainable glass.
- Sustainable BioResin Tubes: The majority of our tubes have been converted to Bio-Resin greatly reducing carbon footprint.
- Paper: We use 100% FSC paper for al product boxes. Our shipping boxes = 48% recycled content + 52% certified sustainable (FSC) content.
ENVIRONMENTAL Stats:
- Paper Footprint: 6 million or 37% approximate square inch reduction: in product kit paper for just the first year of our sustainable paper reduction initiative.
- Pesticide Reduction: Over the past decade, Juice Beauty has estimated the avoidance of 3 tons of pesticides by utilizing certified organic farmed ingredients instead of conventional.
- Solar Power: Juice Beauty’s farmhouse, Organic Farm and our Corporate Headquarters are all powered by solar.
- No Endocrine Disruptors polluting the planet and humans: Using farmed plant oils or no fragrance, we have avoided an estimated 10 tons of endocrine disrupting synthetic fragrance chemical use, over the past decade.
- Petroleum avoidance: By using sustainably sourced plant waxes, we have avoided using an estimated 26 tons of petroleum over the past decade.
*(stats estimated by Duke University Math Students)
Fun Stat: 100% of the farmhouse and 75% of the Organic Farm is powered by solar and soon, the entire farm operation will be solar powered.
