RDP Skincare has teamed up with Sulapac for its sustainable packaging material and to ensure their products are environmentally friendly throughout the whole supply chain. Together these two companies are promoting a systemic change in the beauty industry.
Focusing on sustainability rather than rapid upscaling, RDP Skincare’s portfolio currently includes a multitasking moisturizer.
Sustainable Packaging Solution
Sulapac was founded as a solution that doesn’t compromise on environmental matters. There were various sustainability aspects that were considered:
-
Transparency: Sulapac produces significantly less CO2 emissions than traditional plastic. Calculations of the CO2 burden for every Sulapac product and material are readily available.
-
Recycling: Sulapac has high ambitions for a program that would promote upcycling through, for example, chemical recycling. They launched a take back pilot in 2021.
-
No permanent microplastics: Sulapac doesn’t leave permanent microplastics, Littering is never OK, but even if Sulapac materials end up in nature, they biodegrade without leaving permanent microplastics behind.
-
Drop-in solution: The production of Sulapac materials doesn’t require investments in new machinery. As a drop-in solution, it saves both resources and the environment by utilizing existing plastic production machinery.
The aesthetic factors were also important to Dufour Partanen when deciding on Sulapac,
“Sulapac’s natural wood fibers give the packaging a luxurious feel. The combination of beauty, sustainability, and functionality assured me that we have the same goal: enabling people to make conscious choices without compromising on quality. Changing the industry always starts with the little things.”
“
I’m delighted that an environmentally conscious brand like RDP Skincare chose Sulapac. We anticipate that the slow beauty trend will get bigger, and Sulapac very much wants to be part of this movement. It’s all about giving consumers the best possible means to use quality cosmetics without negatively impacting nature,” says Suvi Haimi, CEO and co-founder of Sulapac.
“I’m eager to learn what kind of opportunities Sulapac’s R&D provides us. Together we can start a global conversation about the opportunities slow beauty presents. I think we can influence and push each other to new heights,” stated by Dufour Partanen.
“At RDP, we have a minimalistic approach to beauty. No false claims, no fast results, no magic. We want to encourage a slow beauty routine that brings results regularly and sustainably. Our aim is to develop multitasking products that have few ingredients,
I think it’s vital to make it as easy as possible for consumers to lead a sustainable life. People shouldn’t have to solve the best ways to recycle every part of a beauty product,” Dufour Partanen explains.
