Earth Month at Our Center

What's a carbon footprint?

We all emit greenhouse gases through our actions: through the products we manufacture, buy, or consume; through our everyday transportation, or through our energy use. All those emissions add up to our carbon footprint because they contain a lot of the element carbon (like in the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide). But all that carbon going into landfills and up into the atmosphere isn't too good for the environment. So it's a great idea to work together to make the world a greener place!

Join us in taking steps to reduce our impact on the planet. Here are some ideas to consider:

• Installing low-flow water fixtures
• Switching to energy-efficient LED lightbulbs
• Charging your devices overnight when grid usage is lower
• Composting food scraps
• Recycling clothes at participating stores
• Collecting rainwater for gardening
• Carpooling

Aesop

It may sound odd, but some of Aesop’s bottles are made from plastic rather than glass. This was not a decision made lightly but is a solution to our practical packaging problems—it is also a little-known fact that plastic bottles have a lower carbon footprint than their glass counterparts. Most of the plastic used is recycled PET, which consists of at least 97% recycled material. Our recycled PET is made up of household plastic waste. These bottles have a much lower footprint than a vessel made entirely of virgin materials, and they meet our product performance needs perfectly. By the end of 2021, 89% of their plastic bottles were made from recycled PET, and they aim to use at least 50% recycled content across our entire plastic packaging range this year.
