Counting on …day 102 

22nd February 202s

Another refill? Did you know that Lush make their black plastic pots from recycled plastic and that each one that is returned, goes to their own reprocessing facility to be remade into a new pot ready to be filled again. And for each one returned 50p is paid back! Lush calls this ‘packaging as a service’! 

Sadly only about 15% of pots are returned. It sounds as if we consumers need to be more proactive participants of the circular economy.
