When is comes to doing our bit for the environment, we could learn a thing or two from super-sustainable brand Davines, which continues it’s quest for a greener planet, with the launch of shampoo refill pouches for its Essential Haircare Line.
The professional haircare and sustainable brand is introducing its first recyclable refill pouches, promoting the concept of circularity and reuse. Each 500ml pouch significantly reduces CO2 emissions and plastic usage by 74 per cent compared with two Essential Haircare 250ml shampoo bottles.
Saving the planet one pouch at a time
The new pouches will be available for best-selling family lines: NOUNOU, MINU, LOVE SMOOTHING, LOVE CURL, and MOMO. Since 2014 the Essential Haircare family has showcased an ingredient from Italy’s Slow Food Presidia to support biodiversity. Each shampoo caters to a certain set of hair needs and serves a unique function that always puts the environment first.
Essential Haircare, the most iconic line embodying Davines’ values, reflects the commitment to ever- evolving research for enhanced sustainability and protection of biodiversity. Since 2021, Davines has partnered with the Rodale Institute, establishing the European Regenerative Organic Agriculture Center (EROC) on 16 hectares near Davines Village in Parma, Italy, to demonstrate the multiple beneficial effects of regenerative organic agriculture on climate change mitigation and further support biodiversity conservation.
