Beauty industry makeover

Let’s face it – there’s an ugly side to the rapidly growing beauty industry. Take the excessive packaging of personal care products: 140 billion units a year that are rarely recycled – meaning a major problem for the environment. And this is before you add in the impact of polluting ingredients and waste created by the products themselves. With consumers worldwide clamoring for change, companies are now trying to clean up their acts. In this episode we look at these emerging trends and ask how we as consumers can help give the beauty industry a sustainable makeover. This episode comes from a Nordic Talk held in Sweden during The Transformation Conference, run by Scandinavian MIND magazine.
