Have you ever wondered what “recycle-ready” means when it comes to cosmetic packaging? Brace yourself, because this term might surprise you.
“Recycle-ready” refers to packaging designed for future recycling systems that don’t yet exist.
Essentially, brands are claiming eco-friendliness by betting on future infrastructure improvements, not current capabilities.
This week’s opinion piece takes a critical stance on the current state of recycling infrastructure.
Host Lorraine Dallmeier unpacks the troubling realities behind "recycle-ready". While the term might sound promising, it is misleading. It will only be recyclable if and when a capable future recycling system is in place.
You won't want to miss this episode with Lorraine Dallmeier, CEO of Formula Botanica. She gives you fair warning as she steps on her soapbox and has a royal rant over misleading claims.

If a cosmetic product isn't sustainable in the first place, how can it suddenly become 'more' sustainable when a brand makes an improvement?
The language used by beauty brands in relation to sustainability can be problematic.
Last week, we interviewed Nishit Dedhia of KAIN Cosmeceuticals about the eco-designed manufacturing plant he runs in Mumbai, India.
And in that interview, Nishit rightly said that it seems as if everyone in the cosmetics industry now proudly calls themselves 'sustainable' - sometimes without any means to back those claims.
In this week's episode of the Green Beauty Conversations podcast, Lorraine Dallmeier, Chartered Environmentalist, Biologist, and CEO of Formula Botanica now takes the opportunity to look at three greenwashing claims in the beauty industry - ranging from "more" sustainable shampoo bottles to governmental intervention with one of the world's largest personal care brands.

Have you ever wondered where your favourite beauty products are made?
We spend a lot of time worrying about the provenance of our ingredients, but we never discuss the manufacturing facilities where cosmetics are produced.
What are these buildings like? Are they created with eco-design principles in mind? How do they handle waste or water management?
These discussions are happening behind the scenes in the beauty industry, but they're certainly not out in the open.
That's why, in our latest episode of the Green Beauty Conversations podcast, we dive into the world of sustainable cosmetic manufacturing in the beauty industry. Podcast host and Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier welcomes Nishit Dedhia, co-founder of KAIN Cosmeceuticals and Formula Botanica graduate.
In this insightful interview, you're going to learn how KAIN Cosmeceuticals is leading the charge in creating eco-friendly beauty products with its state-of-the-art green manufacturing facility in Mumbai, India.

In this week's opinion piece, Lorraine Dallmeier, Chartered Environmentalist, Biologist, and CEO of Formula Botanica delves into the issue of greenwashing in the beauty industry and explores how emerging legislation is set to hold companies accountable for their environmental claims.

In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Lorraine Dallmeier, CEO of Formula Botanica, welcomes Priscilla Rolvers, founder of the Green Cosmetics Revolution to discuss the new EU Greenwashing Directive.
Pretty soon, any beauty brand making eco-friendly claims in the European Union might want to start looking over their shoulder if they haven’t got the evidence to back up their sustainability claims.
Earlier this year in 2024, the European Parliament officially approved a new greenwashing directive, requiring member states – that’s the 27 countries currently in the European Union - to introduce stricter rules surrounding the use of environmental claims by companies.
This means that beauty brands operating in those 27 countries will also fall under this requirement.You can say goodbye to eco-friendly claims around non-recyclable packaging, or claims around environmental benefits that don’t exist, or biodegradability claims for ingredients or packaging that can only be broken down in big industrial processing facilities or – and this is a big one – claims of carbon neutrality that are solely based on buying offsets.
Listen now as Lorraine and Priscilla explore the ban's impact on sustainable beauty's future.
