1. “GREEN” IS NO LONGER THE NEW BLACK
Allure Will No Longer Call Plastic Packaging “Recyclable”- banning misleading buzzwords like “biodegradable” and “zero-waste”.
From Allure: “we’re not going to use ‘recyclable’ as a crutch to let us tell ourselves — and for packaged-goods companies to tell themselves — ‘but it will be used again!’ Nope. It will most likely live in a landfill or our oceans for a very long time. So, yes, do your damnedest to sort your trash. But do not pass off all the responsibility to a blue bin. It’s on you — and, above all, it’s on manufacturers — to use less plastic, period.”
2. IN CASE IT SLIPPED YOUR MIND
1% of plastic bags are recycled each year. Yes, 1%! So those 1500 bags consumed each year by most households, yup, 15 are recycled each year. Yes, 15! YIKES.
3. READY TO RETIRE YOUR LOUNGERS
So is Lululemon. You can now trade in your old loungers for funds towards a new pair. That pair you may be missing? Don’t worry you may see them on a neighbor. They can soon buy them online thanks to Trove.
