CONSCIOUS CHOICES FOR A BETTER WORLD

Our Commitment to a healthier future

At Vanitas, we believe that creating exceptional personal care products goes hand-in-hand with a deep responsibility to protect our planet. Sustainability isn’t just a trend for us; it’s a core value that guides our decisions and actions at every level of our business.

We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and partnering with brands who share our vision for a more sustainable future.

We understand that the ingredients we use have a significant impact. That’s why we are committed to:

  • Prioritizing Natural & Renewable Resources: We actively seek out plant-derived ingredients and renewable resources, reducing our reliance on finite resources.
  • Ethical Sourcing: We partner with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable sourcing practices, ensuring fair labor practices and biodiversity protection.
  • Avoiding Harmful Chemicals: We are committed to formulating without ingredients that are known to be harmful to human health or the environment.
  • Exploring Upcycled Ingredients: We are actively researching and incorporating upcycled ingredients, repurposing materials that would otherwise be considered waste.
  • Supporting Biodiversity: We choose ingredients that are harvested in a way that promotes biodiversity and avoids habitat destruction.
  • Transparency & Traceability: We strive for transparency in our supply chain, understanding the origin and environmental impact of our ingredients.

Packaging plays a crucial role in product delivery, but it also presents an opportunity to reduce waste. Our efforts in sustainable packaging include:

  • Prioritizing Recyclable Materials: We favor materials like glass, aluminum, and PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics that can be easily recycled.
  • Reducing Packaging Waste: We actively work to minimize the amount of packaging used, optimizing designs and reducing unnecessary layers.
  • Exploring Biodegradable & Compostable Options: We are investigating and implementing biodegradable and compostable packaging solutions where appropriate.
  • Designing for Refills: We are exploring refill systems to extend the life cycle of our packaging and reduce single-use waste.
  • Utilizing FSC-Certified Paper & Cardboard: For paper-based packaging, we prioritize materials certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring responsible forest management.
  • Educating Consumers: We aim to provide clear information on how to properly recycle or dispose of our packaging.

Our commitment to sustainability extends to how we operate our facilities. We are focused on:

  • Energy Efficiency: We implement energy-efficient technologies and practices throughout our manufacturing processes to reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprint.
  • Water Conservation: We strive to minimize water usage in our production processes and explore water recycling opportunities.
  • Waste Reduction & Recycling Programs: We have implemented comprehensive waste reduction and recycling programs within our facilities, minimizing landfill waste.
  • GMP Compliance & Eco-Conscious Practices: Our GMP-compliant facilities incorporate eco-conscious practices to minimize environmental impact.
  • Investing in Green Technologies: We continuously evaluate and invest in new technologies that can further enhance our sustainability efforts.
  • Reducing Emissions: We are actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with our operations.
