Caudalie’s plastic offset

Helping a French cosmetics brand offset 100% of their annual plastic footprint

Overview

Pioneering a new and ambitious plastic offset project with Caudalie

As founders of the French cosmetics brand Caudalie, Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas wanted to take responsibility for the 600 tons of plastics they use yearly for Caudalie products.

Already engaged with PUR Projet on reforestation projects worldwide, with more than 7 million trees planted, and on various initiatives to reduce packaging use and overall environmental impact, Caudalie sought to take pioneering action in plastic sustainability through its founding partnership with Second Life.

Our impact

100% Plastic Collect

Caudalie was the first pioneering company to engage with a commitment to recover and recycle 100% of their plastic footprint, which Second Life was able to achieve in its very first year of operations

600 Tons in 2020

Working with regional recyclers and local networks of informal collectors, Second Life was able to recover and recycle almost 600 tons of ocean-bound and non-recyclable plastic on behalf of Caudalie in 2020
