You’re standing in your bathroom, reaching for your cleanser—the same bottle you’ve replaced over and over again. But have you ever wondered where all those empty bottles end up?
Spoiler: Most of them aren’t recycled.
The beauty industry is known for sleek packaging, but behind every bottle of cleanser lies a huge environmental footprint:
120 billion plastic units are produced by the beauty industry every year—enough to circle the Earth multiple times.
Despite recycling efforts, only 9% of plastic waste actually gets recycled. The rest? It lingers in landfills, drifts into our oceans, or gets incinerated, releasing toxins into the air.
Many of these bottles take over 450 years to decompose, meaning every single cleanser bottle you’ve ever used likely still exists somewhere on this planet.
Have you ever thought about how many bottles of face wash you’ve used in your lifetime? Let’s break it down:
The average person goes through 12-15 plastic bottles of face wash per year.
Over 10 years, that’s 150+ bottles per person—just from cleanser alone.
If you switch to face wash tablets, you could eliminate 100+ plastic bottles per person over time.
Now imagine the ripple effect…
If 1,000 people made the switch, that’s 100,000 fewer plastic bottles in landfills.
If 10,000 people switched? We’d be talking about removing a literal mountain of plastic waste from the planet.
Sustainability isn’t about perfection—it’s about making better choices when you can. A simple switch from plastic bottles to refillable, waterless skincare products like face wash tablets can have a massive impact over time.
