As we immerse ourselves in skincare, haircare, and makeup, it&#8217;s easy to forget that beautifying often comes at a cost to our planet. The beauty industry, with its myriad companies, products, and services, has inadvertently &#8211; or perhaps also blatantly &#8211; contributed to the mounting waste crisis that plagues our planet.<\/p>\n<p>In this opinion episode of Green Beauty Conversations, host and Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier \u2013 also a Chartered Environmentalist and Biologist \u2013 presents a new and pressing concept for all of us in the beauty industry to think about, and make centre stage: &#8220;end-of-life beauty planning&#8221;. As Lorraine delves into this revolutionary idea, she challenges the beauty industry to rethink its approach to sustainability, and embark on a journey towards responsible and conscious practices. Listen in to learn why we should buy, manufacture, and formulate cosmetics with their end in mind.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-46912\" src=\"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Listen-here-300x150.png\" alt=\"Listen here\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Listen-here-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Listen-here.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" title=\"Libsyn Player\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/27745209\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/backward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/87A93A\/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"90\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fformulabotanica.com%2F%3Fp%3D64829&#038;text=%40FormulaBotanica%20podcast%20unveils%20a%20new%20concept%3A%20end-of-life%20beauty%20planning%20or%20rethinking%20how%20we%20buy%2C%20use%20and%20formulate%20cosmetics%20by%20starting%20with%20their%20sustainable%20end%20in%20mind.%20%23sustainablebeauty%20%23greenbeauty%20%23beautywaste&#038;via=FormulaBotanica&#038;related=FormulaBotanica' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@FormulaBotanica podcast unveils a new concept: end-of-life beauty planning or rethinking how we buy, use and formulate cosmetics by starting with their sustainable end in mind. #sustainablebeauty #greenbeauty #beautywaste <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fformulabotanica.com%2F%3Fp%3D64829&#038;text=%40FormulaBotanica%20podcast%20unveils%20a%20new%20concept%3A%20end-of-life%20beauty%20planning%20or%20rethinking%20how%20we%20buy%2C%20use%20and%20formulate%20cosmetics%20by%20starting%20with%20their%20sustainable%20end%20in%20mind.%20%23sustainablebeauty%20%23greenbeauty%20%23beautywaste&#038;via=FormulaBotanica&#038;related=FormulaBotanica' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;

Contrary to belief, very little is absorbed into the skin. Most cosmetics are disposed of as waste flushed down the drain, or end up in landfills and waterways.<\/li>\n<li>The importance of sustainable packaging: some brands are pursuing plastic-neutral certification, but true sustainability goes beyond neutrality. It involves considering the entire lifecycle of the packaging and its impact on the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Addressing waste across the beauty supply chain: Lorraine coins the term &#8220;end-of-life beauty planning&#8221; to address how a cosmetic is disposed of. Every player in the industry has a role to play in minimising waste and adopting responsible practices, whether manufacturer, retailer, packaging supplier, or consumer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"green\">Key takeouts include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;End-of-life beauty planning&#8221; should inspire a collective effort in tackling the beauty industry&#8217;s waste problem. By considering the environmental impact of products and services from inception to disposal, the industry can pave the way for a more sustainable future.<\/li>\n<li>Lorraine challenges the beauty industry to prioritise waste management and end-of-life strategies. The topic of waste may not be glamorous, but it is vital to address to ensure a cleaner, greener planet.<\/li>\n<li>This vision for the industry extends to everyone involved, whether formulators, beauty shoppers, cosmetic executives, journalists, or podcast listeners. All of us can contribute to creating a more responsible and environmentally conscious beauty sector.<\/li>\n<li>Lorraine concludes with a powerful message: begin with the end in mind. She challenges us to start the conversation about end-of-life beauty planning. First, we need to acknowledge that all beauty products eventually end up somewhere &#8211; usually as waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Join the movement and start the conversation to bring about positive change in the world of beauty. Whether as individuals or businesses, we can proactively work towards a more sustainable ending.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lorraine Dallmeier unveils a new concept of end-of-life beauty planning; rethinking how we buy, use and formulate cosmetics by starting with their sustainable end in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":64834,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[235,263,163,269],"class_list":["post-64829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","tag-beauty-business","tag-beauty-industry","tag-green-beauty-trends","tag-sustainable-beauty"],"cp_meta_data":{"classic-editor-remember":["classic-editor"],"_edit_lock":["1713270031:3024"],"_edit_last":["3024"],"slide_template":["default"],"_single_add_custom_css":[""],"wpsr_post_settings":["a:4:{s:24:\"wpsr_disable_share_icons\";s:2:\"no\";s:30:\"wpsr_disable_floating_sharebar\";s:2:\"no\";s:25:\"wpsr_disable_follow_icons\";s:2:\"no\";s:26:\"wpsr_disable_text_sharebar\";s:2:\"no\";}"],"om_disable_all_campaigns":[""],"_wpb_vc_js_status":["false"],"_kleo_transparent_menu_color":["white"],"_kleo_title_color":["#"],"_kleo_title_bg":["a:5:{s:3:\"url\";s:0:\"\";s:6:\"repeat\";s:6:\"repeat\";s:4:\"size\";s:7:\"inherit\";s:10:\"attachment\";s:6:\"scroll\";s:8:\"position\";s:8:\"left top\";}"],"_kleo_title_bg_color":["#"],"_kleo_post_layout":["default"],"_kleo_header_layout":["default"],"_kleo_page_menu":["default"],"_kleo_page_menu_secondary":["default"],"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":["3"],"_yoast_wpseo_content_score":["30"],"_item_likes":["0"],"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":["end of life beauty planning"],"_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":["Lorraine Dallmeier unveils a new concept of end-of-life beauty planning; rethinking how we buy, use and formulate cosmetics by starting with their sustainable end in mind."],"_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":["72"],"_thumbnail_id":["64834"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":["198"],"sbg_selected_sidebar":["a:1:{i:0;s:1:\"0\";}"],"sbg_selected_sidebar_replacement":["a:1:{i:0;s:1:\"0\";}"],"rank_math_primary_category":["198"],"rank_math_description":["Lorraine Dallmeier unveils a new concept of end-of-life beauty planning; rethinking how we buy, use and formulate cosmetics by starting with their sustainable end in mind."],"rank_math_focus_keyword":["end of life beauty planning"],"rank_math_news_sitemap_robots":["index"],"rank_math_robots":["a:1:{i:0;s:5:\"index\";}"],"rank_math_analytic_object_id":["280"],"rank_math_internal_links_processed":["1"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/formulabotanica.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
