Although there is high interest in the circular economy, there is a need to discuss practical approaches. How can cosmetic and
personal care products be designed so material loops are closed? How can the beauty industry move to zero-waste systems?
What new technologies are helping make the transition? With a need to move away from plastics, what are the packaging
solutions? How can waste nutrients be upcycled? How can consumers be encouraged to help close material loops? Such
questions will be addressed in this session.
To begin, an update is given on the Cradle-To-Cradle design approach; learn how this innovative approach to product design
enables nutrients to enter continuous cycles. Subsequent speakers will give details of new technologies that help operators move
towards a circular economy. The session concludes with featured speakers discussing behavior change. It is argued that the
beauty industry needs to take steps to address consumer behavior if it is to implement circular systems. What can be done to
encourage consumers to buy and use personal care products responsibly? How can recycling and upcycling be encouraged?
How can consumers be encouraged to change their behavior for altruistic reasons?
