April 19, 2024How to Make Beauty More Sustainable with Carly Snider
How do you shop for eco-friendlier beauty products? What are high-value plastics? How can beauty brands make their components better for the environment? We’re going to tackle all those questions with sustainable operations expert Carly Snider, the executive director of Pact Collective, a nonprofit that’s uniting the beauty industry to work toward circular packaging solutions. In this episode, you’ll learn about the dangers of wishcycling, what happens at your local Materials Recovery Facility (MRF, pronounced “murf”), how to find resin codes on beauty packaging, why the chasing arrow symbol is useless, and so much more.
