Think SUSTAINABILTY
by Alyssia Holmes
Sustainability is the key to launching a successful body and beauty brand because consumers are beginning to understand the environmental impact their everyday choices. The Pottery, a dispensary located in Los Angeles, hosted a seminar by Kelly Atterton, Beauty Director of C Magazine, Carina Chaz, Founder of DedCool, Deven Hopp, Brand Director of Versed, Allison McNamara, Founder of Mara Beauty, and Caitlin Danis, Co-Founder of Flwr, about “sustainability” and incorporating conscious habits as part of our daily lives. According to Refinery29, 90% of millennials pay for products that are sustainable.
For instance, cannabis brand, Flwr, has created ways to use their packaging in multiple ways as a household item. With the demand of recyclable shipping materials by many manufactures increasing, Target stores is making huge environmental strides by making recycling cool. They have a recycling station in every store for everyone to drop off plastics, papers, and metals.
