Refill

• Mondi and Thimonnier launch a new recyclable mono-material berlingot sachet for liquid soap refills
• The innovative new packaging reduces plastic usage by more than 75% compared to rigid plastic bottles
• The solution is designed to replace the current industry standard of non-recyclable plastic

The companies have created a new packaging for liquid refills that is designed so that it can be entirely emptied. The berlingot sachet is made from a recyclable mono-material, coextruded polyethylene (PE).

It's Earth Month, which means time for The Body Shop to do something big—since it is known as an activist beauty retailer. (The Body Shop's parent company is Natura & Co.)

To reduce plastic use and take action against the global plastic crisis, The Body Shop's refill stations will debut in its stores across the U.S. By the end of 2022, the retailer aims to offer in-store refill in 49% of its U.S. stores.

Last April, The Body Shop launched refill stations in 400 stores globally.

In-depth research is being co-funded with Innovate UK and will closely follow consumers as they plan at home, engage in-store, and decant and sore products back at home.

The Body Shop Canada has launched a national refill program to help take action against the global plastic crisis.

Participating locations in Canada will offer shoppers a refillable aluminum bottle for a selection of the brand's best-selling shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, and hand washes.

This is the company's first step in a 5-year plan to roll out refill stations in the majority of their stores across the globe.
