We use

Sustainable packaging

At Human+Kind, we're always exploring new emerging sustainable materials on the market that not only provide value to our customers but also align with our environmental values. That's why we're excited to share our transition to packaging made from sugarcane tubes and polypropylene lids, which are both recyclable!

Why Sugarcane?

At Human+Kind, we're all about keeping things simple and sustainable. That's why we love sugarcane! This resilient and fast-growing crop possesses a remarkable ability to capture high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere during its growth cycle.

Why Sugarcane?

At Human+Kind, we're all about keeping things simple and sustainable. That's why we love sugarcane! This resilient and fast-growing crop possesses a remarkable ability to capture high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere during its growth cycle. Ninety percent of Brazil’s sugarcane cultivation is concentrated in the country’s Centre-South region, where the expansion of Sugarcane planted areas is regulated by the Sugarcane Agroecological Zoning Policy. This regulatory framework, implemented by the federal government in 2009, prohibits cultivation in high biodiversity areas such as the Amazon Rainforest and the Pantanal Wetlands, ensuring the preservation of vital ecosystems. This means that while our sugarcane comes from Brazil, there's no need to worry about harmful cultivation practices. This natural process contributes to the carbon neutrality of sugarcane polyethylene production, making it an environmentally responsible choice for packaging our beautiful skincare products. Not only is sugarcane a renewable energy source, but it's also recyclable, making it incredibly easy to reuse and repurpose. Plus, sugarcane-based plastics are just as strong and reliable as traditional plastics. We're deeply passionate about sustainability here at Human+Kind and choosing 'Green Plastic' made from sugarcane is just another way that we're minimising our impact on the planet.

Benefits of Sugarcane

Renewable Resource

Sugarcane is a fast-growing crop that can be harvested multiple times a year. Unlike finite resources like fossil fuels, sugarcane is renewable, meaning it can be replanted and harvested continuously without depleting the earth's resources.

Recyclable

Sugarcane based packaging, such as our tubes and polypropylene lids are recyclable contributing to waste reduction and a circular economy.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Sugarcane is a carbon-neutral material, capturing high levels of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during growth phase. This natural process contributes to the carbon neutrality of Sugarcane based packaging.

WHAT IS

Green Plastic

Green Plastic, or Green PE (polyethylene), is derived from sugarcane ethanol and offers the same quality and durability as traditional plastics. It's a win-win for both our customers and the planet!

We're committed to advancing sustainability within our brand, and our transition to sugarcane packaging represents a significant stride towards a greener future.
