Alpine Provisions Co., manufacturer of 100% biodegradable, natural, organic, sustainably-sourced body care products, has launched an initiative to go completely plastic-free. Only 7% of all the plastic ever made has been recycled, which is why, in the last century, over 150 million metric tons of it have found their way into the world’s oceans. Aluminum, which can be recycled almost infinitely, will replace the company’s plastic hand-sanitizer, hair care and liquid soap bottles. In fact, 84% of all the aluminum ever made is still in use today.
