All Green Edition packaging is made with up to 95% recycled materials. Our goal: By 2030, all of Maybelline’s plastic packaging will be made from 100% recycled plastic.
The Green Edition collection contains packaging components made with up to 95% recycled materials. Committed to a better world, this product range is a key step on the brand’s Conscious Together program - Maybelline’s long-term commitments to create a more responsible business model that is mindful of its impact on people and the planet. The program consists of an ambitious set of goals that Maybelline aims to achieve by 2030 spanning Packaging.
We cannot control the source of post-consumer recycled materials (PCR), making it difficult to perfectly control the color of packaging and to achieve bright colors. PCR material is typically dark gray, making it hard to achieve Maybelline’s traditional bright colors.
The color of the packaging does not remain consistent given the materials that make up the recycled streams, e.g., the colors of recycled plastic bottles.
Additionally, there is an increase in inclusions with PCR materials. Inclusions are black dots / particles in the material. This is due to the variety of recycled material included in the packs. For example, if there is a black dot on your foundation cap, it is not a dirt mark – it is a mixture of different recycled content.
Today, recycling systems are not able to accept most makeup because packaging is often too small (less than 20 ml) and can be made of a mix of different materials, characteristics which are disruptors to recycling.
That’s why a primary focus of Maybelline Green Edition’s packaging design has been to maximize the use of recycled content in its components, which is made with a minimum of 20% and up to 95% recycled materials - innovative for the category. We have recently shared our Maybelline sustainability program Conscious Together where the packaging goal is for all our plastic packaging to be made from 100% recycled plastic by 2030.
