At L’OCCITANE, we try to limit our impact on the environment wherever possible, and endeavour to develop our products in synchronicity with nature. Eco-friendly design is a major part of our environmental policy. We are currently making efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our products by:
1. Consuming fewer resources and preventing pollution: Most of our products are developed from recycled packaging or from sustainably managed forests.
2. Reducing packaging weight: Our Eco-Refill packaging uses up to 90% less materials than the original containers, representing in 2017 an overall saving of 124 tons of material.
3. Recycling more: 73% of our packaging is now recyclable (PET, glass, cardboard and aluminium) and our goal is to improve this dramatically in the coming years.
4. Innovating continuously: L’Occitane also has developed a partnership with Terracycle to find innovating solutions to recycle non readily recyclable materials – such as eco-refills - in France, Australia, USA, Canada and Brazil, with the view to extending this across the world.
