Comfort Zone products are 100% Certified Plastic Neutral

At Yellowdoor we are meticulously selective with who we choose to partner with for everything that we use and sell at our Spa. Today we would like to highlight a big factor of why we use and sell a range of products from the Davines Group at Yellowdoor. They are a B corp. which is very important to us and their hard work and dedication to the environment is moving. Their products only include some of the best ingredients from Italy and we LOVE ITALY!

See below how they are making a difference:

Blog post from [ comfort zone ]:

We’re so excited to announce that for every product that we sell in 2022, an equal amount of ocean-bound plastic will be collected and removed from the environment through our collaboration with Plastic Bank.

This certification is a major step Comfort Zone is taking in its sustainability journey. Along with a strong focus on reducing the use of virgin plastic and selecting biobased and recycled plastic, we have decided to also commit to a very ambitious goal and obtain that in 2022 our products become 100% Certified Plastic Neutral by Plastic Bank. 

What does Plastic Neutral product mean?

Being Plastic Neutral certified means that for every product we sell in 2022 with plastic packaging, an equal amount of ocean-bound plastic will be collected and removed from the environment through our collaboration with Plastic Bank in Indonesia, Brazil and the Philippines.

Thanks to our ecodesign and to this new commitment Comfort Zone is stepping to the forefront of the beauty industry, helping protect our planet, while having also a positive social impact. We have chosen Plastic Bank to be sure we can improve the lives of local collectors, ensuring bonuses to support their families’ needs.

“Sustainability is not a goal, but a journey. Being Certified Plastic Neutral by Plastic Bank in 2022 confirms  two of our core values:  care and innovation. For that reason, the plastic neutrality certification is just one step further along this path, which we hope many other companies will want to take.” – Anthony Molet CEO of Davines Group

We tackle the challenges of packaging, from beginning to end of the life cycle

For many years Comfort Zone has been focusing on eco-designing the packaging, reducing the use of natural resources, choosing the most circular materials, especially when speaking about plastic, and introducing refillable solutions.

We are more than aware that no material is perfect,  and that packaging encompasses a variety of environmental challenges from the supply chain of raw materials, to the end-of-life and possible dispersion of the empty products into the environment. This is why we have decided to act on all these aspects.

In 2021 we collected 100 tonnes of ocean-bound plastic with Plastic Bank

Among the different eco-design actions already taken, in 2021 we launched our first partnership with Plastic Bank: we prevented 100 tonnes of plastic from being dispersed in the sea. It has been a great start which this year we have brought to the next level by exponentially increasing our commitment.
