Can we solve the packaging problem in the beauty industry? Behind the Green with Mia Davis the Pact Collective & Credo Beauty

Behind the Green

"About half of 300 million tons of plastic is single-use so it will be used for minutes maybe and then it might be on the planet for hundreds of years well beyond our time. That figure of 150 million tons is really hard to wrap your head around, but it is about as much as the weight of all of the humans on the planet...clearly this is a huge problem and we really need to be reducing this astronomical number."

About Mia Davis

Mia is the VP of Sustainability & Impact at Credo Beauty, the largest clean products-only beauty retailer. She created the Credo Clean Standard (TM), including the Sustainable Packaging Guidelines-- retail's strongest "clean" formula and packaging standards. Mia co-founded the nonprofit membership organization Pact Collective to start to make a dent in hard-to-recycle beauty waste, and to bring beauty stakeholders together to move toward circularity. She was one of the first hires at Beautycounter, and prior to that co-led nonprofit environmental health campaigns.

About The Pact Collective

Pact is a nonprofit collective working to make beauty and wellness packaging more sustainable. So much beauty and wellness packaging cannot be recycled through curbside recycling programs — it’s often too small, too flexible, made of mixed materials, or made of materials with no end market. A majority is also made from virgin plastic, which can have negative effects on the environment. Enter Pact. We offer education, community and packaging collection programs to take responsibility for our industry’s impact right now, and to empower the industry to design more sustainable packaging in the future. Become a member today to help us reduce, recycle and drive towards circularity.
