Stephenson keener than ever to find sustainable alternatives to plastic bottled products .”
Imagination and innovation
On the topic of sustainability , Jamie elaborates : “ We are committed to finding sustainable packaging solutions , which is often a case of imagination and innovation . We ’ ve developed various cardboard packages , for example , including some waterproof options . So far , we have eliminated around 25 kilos of plastic containers by switching to more eco-friendly cardboard packaging .”
Sustainability for Stephenson also means not just addressing plastic waste but also about reducing CO 2 emissions , ethical sourcing of ingredients and giving back to communities and consumers .
“ However ,” he proffers , “ our biggest contribution to the environment will not be us reducing plastic from our own supply chain , but instead will be creating responsibly made products that allow plastic to be removed from the consumer supply chain . The concept of solid format personal care products extends way beyond shampoo and conditioner . From moisturizing lotion bars to facial and beard washes , we plan to research and innovate various new solid products moving forwards .
“ In the future , I see us growing considerably as a family-owned business . We will keep investing in our current manufacturing ,” Jamie concludes . “ We will continue to be the market leader in solid format personal care as the market continues to expand .” ■
