ICONS|ICS has witnessed a surge in the use of PCR in beauty packaging throughout 2023, with nearly all projects from all brands requesting a growing percentage of PCR content. This shift is fueled by brands becoming more eco-conscious, a rise in the sustainability requirements from influential retailers, and new environmental regulations coming into effect worldwide. And we expect this growth to accelerate in years to come.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many brands now have sustainable packaging targets such as including specific percentages of PCR. Major beauty retailers are also implementing sustainable packaging requirements, amplifying environmental awareness and increasing the demand for PCR. At the same time, consumer recycling has increased over the years, and as a result, the accessibility of PCR resins has increased,\u00a0making PCR materials more readily available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ICONS|ICS believes it is imperative to be sustainable for businesses to thrive alongside society and the environment. Brands and consumers are becoming increasingly knowledgeable when it comes to sustainable materials and processes. Brands also understand that sustainability\u00a0enhances brand reputation and fosters brand loyalty while doing their part for the planet, providing long-term benefits for all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a result, brands and products that are sustainable can have an advantage,\u00a0especially in economic downturns when consumers may purchase less items but want to maintain their personal values.<\/p>\n
