Innovative eco-responsible packaging

Clarins uses a continuous innovation approach, which means that for several years eco-design principles have been an integral part of every stage of the packaging development process. Teams work together to find the best solution that combines performance, ease-of-use and sustainability.

Prioritising sustainable materials (all cardboard boxes and corrugated inserts come from sustainably managed forests), reduced weight and bulk (no more spacers or pamphlets in boxes, lighter glass), and materials that are recycled and/or recyclable.

Working toward the circular economy

All containers will be recyclable or recycled by 2025.
A circular economy means using materials that are easily recyclable and, when recycling cannot be guaranteed (i.e. plastic), including a post-consumer recycled material (PCR) made from single-use packaging.
