Over the past decade, the clean corner of the beauty industry has gone through a major evolution. Now, shopping sustainable, nontoxic, and organic skincare, makeup, and hair products isn’t just a conscientious choice—you’re putting your money into a thriving, profitable market. Some brands make sustainability their central mission, while others recognize that a reduced carbon footprint and ethically sourced ingredients are a recipe for success, both for the planet and for their bottom line.The shift has occurred worldwide—in fact, France’s AGEC law is aiming to eliminate single-use plastic packaging by 2040, with interim goals to reduce plastic waste and improve recycling efforts. It’s been refreshing to see brands focusing on creating effective formulations that are good for you and the environment, and taking out the guesswork of shopping clean beauty. Justine Kahn, the founder of clean beauty brand Botnia, agrees: “Quite honestly, I believe it’s the consumer’s job to consume, and it’s the business’s job to produce a product that is safe to consume and works within the recycling system we currently use,” she says. There’s also Pact, a packaging collection program executive directed by Carly Snider and founded by MOB and Credo Beauty. The initiative helps consumers return their empty beauty packaging to collection bins at retailers like Ulta and Sephora, where it’s then responsibly processed for recycling or reuse, diverted from landfills. Amid this surge of innovation, a sea of industry jargon has emerged; terms like “natural” and “clean,” frankly, lack clear definitions. Dr. Alexa Friedman, senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group, says that many personal-care brands use these terms without offering concrete explanations, making it difficult for consumers to make fully informed choices. (Check out EWG’s Skin Deep database, which allows you to search for products with ingredients that are safer for your body—brands in the database are EWG Verified, signifying their products are free from harmful chemicals.) Dr. Friedman says the level of “natural” or “clean” beauty varies greatly between brands. She suggests you study a company’s website for its specific definitions of “sustainability” and closely inspect the ingredients lists. “If possible, consider limiting the number of different products in your daily routine, reduce buying new products before finishing old ones, and look at packaging or brand websites to find the best ways to dispose or recycle products,” she adds.Those are just a few steps you can take to make your beauty routine a little cleaner. Below, we’ve handpicked the standout clean beauty products and brands we love. We raise our spirulina kale glasses to you and yours this Earth Day!Tata Harper’s formulas and farming methods for the ingredients she puts in her products are impeccable. A beauty insider favorite, this eye cream formula tackles dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines with a proprietary fermented fruit composition, plus flower oils your skin instantly recognizes. The serum comes in a refillable glass bottle, with ingredients from organic farming.This one is just magical, every time we use it. Tammy Fender’s Plant Milk Serum is a quiet reminder of nature’s brilliance, especially when it comes to skin remedies. With calming organic botanicals like arnica, white lily, and milk thistle, this product delivers nourishing hydration and a soft, lit-from-within finish. The actives are so fresh and potent, each bottle is designed to be used within nine weeks—an indulgent ritual in real time. Made in small batches at the brand’s Florida atelier and housed in recyclable glass with minimal, post-consumer packaging, it’s a study in purity, both inside and out.This cleanser blends gentle, olive-derived surfactants with rosemary leaf and bergamot rind—one of nature’s best soothing agents and clarifiers for a fresh, balanced complexion. (There’s no dry feeling post-cleansing either.) Housed in amber glass—a nod to old-school apothecaries—the bottle protects the formula from UV damage, reduces the need for preservatives, and skips plastic in favor of something far more sustainable. Add in Aesop’s B Corp certification (meaning they meet the highest standards for environmental and social impact) and you’ve got one seriously fabulous way to celebrate Earth Day.From the first application, The Good Stuff Hair and Body Radiance Oil mimics the most decadent spa treatments you’ve ever experienced. Infused with cocoa, rose, ylang ylang, and sea buckthorn berry, this oil delivers a silky, glowing finish that is never sticky. An added bonus: when applied to the hair, it becomes a lovely added touch to control flyaways and add shine without being heavy or oily. Made with organic, biodynamic ingredients, it’s free of parabens and petroleum. Plus, the minimal, recyclable packaging reflects a strong commitment to sustainability. This product comes in two shades: original shimmer and nude.This is the retinol upgrade your routine (and the planet) deserves. Devotees of Augustinus Bader’s The Cream series will feel right at home with this clean, vegan formula, infused with pure retinol and Bader’s signature TFC8 technology minus the additive clutter (think: no parabens, silicones, phthalates, or synthetic fragrance). It’s quite gentle, steady, and effective, delivering a radiant-skin payoff day by day (in reality, two weeks of regular use is when you’ll start to see effects). And because it’s 2025 and Dr. Bader thinks about beauty beyond the bottle, this serum comes housed in a fully recyclable aluminum Nomad, with FSC-certified packaging—so your glow-up is easy on your skin and on Mother Earth.Harnessing chebula, one of nature’s most resilient and effective antioxidants, this Ayurvedic-inspired serum helps reduce the look of fine lines, supports the skin barrier, and boosts overall radiance with continued use. The formula skips all synthetic additives, relying instead on carefully chosen, non-toxic ingredients that give it a MADE SAFE certification (vegan and cruelty-free). Sourced with environmental integrity, the chebula is wild-harvested under strict biodiversity guidelines. Every detail, from the recyclable glass bottle to the FSC-certified packaging printed with plant-based inks, reflects the brand’s dedication to reducing their carbon footprint.Soothing enough to double as a moisturizer, this gentle-yet-effective serum is perfect for sensitive skin—and is a clean, earth-conscious addition to any glow-focused routine. This product uses a rich, Spanish-sourced grade of astaxanthin (algae extract, like a natural retinol) to smooth texture, support collagen, and boost radiance without the irritation of retinol. Healing saccharides calm and repair, while jojoba, sea buckthorn, and red raspberry oils nourish and regenerate. In terms of eco-conscious packaging, this brand is thoughtfully designed for minimal impact, from compostable boxes to recyclable aluminum, and reusable plastic components where needed.This newly launched foaming body scrub from AKT earns its place in any beauty routine. Finely milled rice and sugar gently resurface skin, sweeping away the sweat and debris of the day, while a nourishing blend of almond oils and papaya enzymes softens and smooths without ever stripping. It’s equal parts exfoliation and care, presented in fully recyclable packaging (aluminum cap included).Forget that it’s a sustainable brand—this rich, vegan hair mask is one of the best on the market, delivering silky, frizz-free results that are cruelty-free and effective. Beyond the jar, Davines is committed to net-zero emissions by 2050, reducing virgin plastic year after year, and removing plastic waste through global cleanup initiatives. Through the brand’s EthioTrees project, they’re also restoring ecosystems, training local communities, and empowering women in reforestation—because true beauty leaves a lighter footprint.A luxurious skin reset, this purifying mask blends the power of Hawaiian spirulina, raw honey, cleansing sea clay, and the most cleanly sourced chlorella to gently detoxify and revitalize your complexion. Handcrafted in small weekly batches at Leahlani’s solar-powered Kaua’i studio, each jar reflects the brand’s deep commitment to sustainability, featuring organic, locally sourced ingredients and eco-conscious packaging for a glow that’s as good for the planet as it is for your skin. (Don’t forget to blend the mask with a few drops of water and emulsify between fingertips for optimal consistency when applying.)This primer gel delivers a beautiful plant-powered radiance that glides over your face and décolletage (thankfully, with no tacky glitter). We love the clean and natural luminosity, and Saie takes the love of our planet seriously. The brand is committed to a net-zero future by 2039, tackling plastic waste, and empowering an all-women board to lead the charge. In partnership with rePurpose Global, Saie also is recovering five million pounds of plastic across four countries and five coastlines over the next three years.Your skin will be hooked from the first slather. Fast-absorbing and featherlight, this serum delivers a lovely finish thanks to kakadu plum and marine extracts. Formulated with potent actives typically reserved for facial care, it hydrates deeply, exfoliates gently, and leaves skin luminous from head to toe. Protecting the environment is also a paramount concern for this line, as this serum is packaged in 100 percent recycled aluminum; Uni’s smart closed-loop system lets you send back empties with every refill.This beloved cult beauty favorite was, believe it or not, originally born as a humble shaving serum. Since then, it’s evolved into a skin-healing essential, packed with rare actives like astaxanthin, copper peptides, and bee propolis from Oahu. The formula boasts 95 percent organic botanicals and a plant-based vitamin A that rivals retinol (minus the sensitivity). Packaged in recyclable glass, it’s a high-function serum with a low-impact footprint.Trust us when we say deodorant is more than just a daily essential: it’s a product that sits near your lymph nodes, so choosing one with the cleanest ingredients is crucial. This one is a definite standout Earth Day pick, offering a plant-powered formula that absorbs sweat and neutralizes odors without aluminum, baking soda, or talc. It uses biodegradable paper exterior, made from responsibly harvested FSC-certified paper, and has a 70 percent post-consumer recycled plastic interior helping to reduce waste.It goes without saying that your skin deserves armor that’s as clean as your conscience. Babo Botanicals’s Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is not only EWG Verified, it also uses non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection (and is paraben, phthalate, and fragrance-free—you know the drill). Even better? The brand’s packaging is planet-approved, offering selections of their most favored products in recyclable cartons and refill pouches that cut plastic use by up to 80 percent.California and New York may be the top beauty capitals, but take it from me—the water in L.A.? Not so glamorous. Hard water is loaded with minerals like calcium and magnesium, which leave behind invisible buildup that sabotages hair health and vibrancy. Enter Malibu C’s Hard Water Wellness Collection: a quietly powerful, clean haircare fix that targets exactly that. The formula is 100 percent vegan and free from sulfates, parabens, and gluten; it’s powered by L-ascorbic acid and flax protein to detox, strengthen, and soothe without stripping the hair. The bottles are made from 98 percent recycled ocean-bound plastics and enhanced with Eco-One® technology to support landfill-friendly biodegradation.Equal parts heat protectant and anti-frizz, air-dry savior, this multitasking crème makes lazy summer styling look super luxe, especially when you’re letting beachy curls do their thing. The vegan, Leaping Bunny-certified formula skips sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, and in honor of Earth Day, R+Co Bleu will plant a tree in your name for each comment in their IG post today on Earth Day on @randcobleu.This clean concealer means business. The crease-free, no-powder-needed formula blurs, brightens, and lifts dark circles with hydrating peptides and hyaluronic acid, all delivered via a flexible paddle for seamless application. Bonus points: it’s housed in a recyclable glass vial with a 70 percent PCR cap and FSC-certified carton. This product is also a part of Sephora’s Clean + Planet Aware selection, spotlighting formulas free of controversial ingredients and brands committed to sustainable sourcing, packaging, and transparent practices.Consider a light and silky face oil to add the finishing touch to your clean skincare ritual. Crafted with high-quality, high-grade organic plant botanicals, this product delivers deep nourishment, instantly providing skin elasticity throughout the day and night. Thoughtfully packaged in glass and recyclable materials (even the rubber bands are repurposed), every detail reflects the brand’s earth-first approach.Why ever question this timeless Hall of Fame winner? For nearly a century, Weleda’s Skin Food has been the go-to for makeup artists, models, and anyone who craves deeply nourished skin (I have even used it on my hair to tame frizz during heavy rain days). The Ultra-Rich Cream version is no different, offering maximum hydration with a superb formula that is housed in a 95 percent recycled aluminum tube, delivering the same fabulous hydration powered by plant extracts pansy, chamomile, and calendula. For the planet-passionate and skin-savvy alike, RAAN wipes are a minimalist’s dream—unbleached, chemical-free, and completely free of plastic and microplastics. Made with just five pure ingredients (including 100 percent organic aloe and 99 percent purified water) and EWG-verified for safety, this product uses earth-kind TruCotton, which skips harsh processing.Earth-friendly luxury isn’t about the price tag—it’s about the formula. And this product quietly outperforms leading hair masks triple its cost. Eleven’s clean composition contains things your hair instantly responds to: aloe vera, white mulberry leaf, and lotus flower, which hydrate, soften, and shine. The mask comes in 100 percent recyclable packaging, and the brand partners with eco-conscious suppliers (implementing solar-powered facilities and zero-waste printing) so your very valuable hair routine leaves a lighter footprint.This overachieving mascara lifts, lengthens, and makes your lashes look divine. Each swipe of the clean formula is made with 99 percent nature-sourced ingredients (fortifying shea butter and arginine). It’s gentle enough for sensitive eyes, non-flaking, and comes in a streamlined tube that cuts carbon emissions by 46 percent. An added bonus: this stellar mascara is now available in the perfect brown hue, Before Dawn.This article was originally published on April 22, 2025 Source link

Cada año, la industria de la moda rápida lanza 150.000 millones de prendas al mundo, suficientes para vestir a cada persona del planeta 20 veces. Sin embargo, detrás de las etiquetas de bajo costo y las colecciones renovadas cada semana, se esconde un monstruo que devora recursos, envenena ríos y esclaviza a comunidades enteras. Marcas como Shein, Zara y Primark han convertido el consumo en un acto compulsivo, mientras el planeta y sus habitantes pagan la factura. El costo invisible de una camiseta de 5 euros La moda rápida no es barata: su precio real lo asumen los ríos de Bangladesh, teñidos de químicos tóxicos; los suelos de Ghana, ahogados bajo montañas de ropa desechada; y las manos de millones de trabajadores, principalmente mujeres, que cosen por salarios miserables. Según datos recientes, el sector textil produce el 20% de las aguas residuales globales y emite más carbono que los vuelos internacionales y el transporte marítimo juntos [1]. Además, el 85% de la ropa producida termina en vertederos, donde el poliéster tardará hasta 200 años en descomponerse, liberando microplásticos que intoxican la cadena alimentaria. Francia: Un faro en la tormenta Mientras gobiernos y corporaciones evaden responsabilidades, Francia ha decidido actuar. En 2024, implementará una ley pionera que obligará a las marcas a revelar el impacto ambiental de sus prendas mediante un sistema de puntuación (de la A a la E), similar al de los electrodomésticos. Este sistema penalizará el uso de materiales contaminantes como el poliéster virgen y recompensará prácticas sostenibles, como el reciclaje o la durabilidad [2]. Además, prohibirá la destrucción de excedentes textiles no vendidos, una práctica habitual para mantener la escasez artificial. La medida no solo da transparencia, sino que empodera al consumidor: por primera vez, quien compre una chaqueta en París o Marsella sabrá si su producción secó un río en Indonesia o si su fabricación pagó salarios justos. “Es un golpe directo al greenwashing”, afirma Émilie Dupuis, activista de Fashion Revolution Francia. El dilema de la UE: ¿Líder o cómplice? Aunque la ley francesa es un avance histórico, su impacto será limitado si no se convierte en una norma europea. Hoy, la UE importa el 60% de la ropa que consume desde países con estándares laborales y ambientales débiles, lo que perpetúa un colonialismo extractivista. Organizaciones como la European Environmental Bureau exigen que Bruselas legisle para: Prohibir los materiales más dañinos, como los microplásticos sintéticos. Exigir responsabilidad extendida a las marcas por el ciclo completo de sus productos. Impulsar la economía circular, con incentivos para reparar, reusar y reciclar. Consumidores: Entre la culpa y la acción Criticar a quien compra en Primark por necesidad es injusto, pero normalizar que una camisa cueste menos que un café es insostenible. La solución no está solo en el individuo, sino en cambiar el sistema. Mientras esperamos leyes más duras, podemos: Exigir transparencia: Apps como Good On You ya califican a las marcas por sus prácticas éticas. Reducir, intercambiar, reparar: El movimiento slow fashion crece, con tiendas de segunda mano y talleres de reparación. Votar con el bolsillo: Apoyar a empresas locales y certificadas (como las de comercio justo o B Corp). Conclusión: La moda no puede costar la Tierra La ley francesa es un rayo de esperanza, pero el verdadero cambio llegará cuando la UE y el mundo entiendan que la ropa no es desechable, ni las personas son herramientas. Como dice Vandana Shiva, “la moda rápida es el modelo perfecto de un capitalismo que devora vida”. Frenarla no es una opción: es una urgencia para salvar nuestro hogar común.

SERVICIOS FUNERARIOS AGEC, EMPLEADOS EN CRISIS. «POR FALTA PERSONAL E INVERSIONES»

12 de abril de 2025

Los empleados de Agec Onoranze Funebri han declarado estado de agitación y se abstendrán de realizar horas extras. "Pedimos disculpas a la ciudadanía por cualquier inconveniente que esto pueda causar al servicio", dijeron los representantes de los trabajadores. "Pero ha llegado el momento de actuar".

El estado de agitación fue anunciado por la empresa RSU y los sindicatos de Verona Filctem Cgil, Femca Cisl y Uiltec Uil. Una decisión tomada debido al "continuo deterioro de las condiciones de trabajo debido a la ahora crónica falta de personal y de inversiones". La situación fue comunicada al director único de Agec Onoranze Funebri, Francesco Callegari, a la presidenta de Agec, Anita Viviani, y al alcalde de Verona, Damiano Tommasi, a quienes se había solicitado una reunión. «Una petición que fue y sigue siendo motivada por la preocupación expresada por los trabajadores sobre el futuro de Agec Onoranze Funebri, también con respecto a la resolución en la que se declara que no están claras las condiciones para el "mantenimiento" de la participación de Agec en Agec Onoranze Funebri».

Professional Construction Waste Disposal Company

Find The Professional Construction Waste Disposal Company at Your Service

Waste management is an essential point to take into account on a construction or renovation site. Indeed, planning it in advance will allow the work to take place in the best conditions. Also, remember that it must be included in the project budget, because the regulations are very clear: the incineration of construction waste on site is not allowed. Their clearance must be organized in compliance with the law.

This is why here is an update on the issues related to construction site waste management by the professional Construction Waste in Kitchener service. Who is responsible? What are the current regulations? How to proceed? Here are the answer of the fundamental questions that you may have in this area.

Construction waste: what are the issues?

The construction sector generates 46 million tonnes of waste per year.

51% of them are associated with demolition work, 36% with renovation and 13% with new construction.

It is therefore not for nothing that the construction sector is the main sector concerned by the law relating to the fight against waste and the circular economy (Agec).

The observation is simple, the construction industry has a significant impact on the environment and there is a need to stabilize the supply of materials, to meet a very strong demand. The solution to reconcile the two? The recovery of waste through its reuse or recycling. Indeed, what is waste one day, can become raw material tomorrow.

How is construction waste classified?

Inert waste

Inert waste does not decompose or burn. It does not cause any chemical or physical reaction in space or time. It is this waste that constitutes the majority of construction waste.

Non-hazardous non-inert waste

Neither inert nor dangerous, as their name suggests, this waste cannot trigger an explosion and is non-corrosive. It is also called ordinary industrial waste. It represents 21% of all construction site waste.

Hazardous waste

The hazardous waste family happens to be fabricated of all those that have a damaging impact on health or the environment. Their volume is quite low (3% of total building waste), but their management requires specific attention to avoid contamination linked to the toxic substances they contain.

Regulations: who must manage construction waste?

If an individual decides to do the work himself, he will have to manage the construction waste. Otherwise, when the work is carried out by a company, it is the latter which will be responsible for its management.

According to the law, the producer of construction waste is responsible for its collection, storage and treatment until its final recovery. If he calls on a third party to manage it, he will have to check that the latter complies with the regulations and that he has the necessary prefectural authorizations in certain cases (transport of hazardous waste for example).

Last words Faced with the million tons of waste produced annually, Ecostar Disposal, a Construction Waste in Brantford Company, offers a collaborative solution to improve logistics and combat fly-tipping, while reducing the carbon footprint of transport operations. Specializing in skip rental, the company aims to simplify the planning of waste removals and guarantee their delivery to recycling sites.

The world of toys in the midst of an ecological shift

In order to continue to please children and parents alike, the toy industry is redoubling its efforts to reduce its environmental impact over the entire lifespan of its products.

In the windows, life-size dolls and teddy bears collide amid the illuminations. Christmas is quickly approaching and the toy stores are always full. But this end-of-year holiday magic comes at a cost. According to Ademe[1], nearly 100,000 tonnes of games and toys are thrown in the trash each year. In February 2020, the Agec law[2], relating to the fight against waste and the circular economy, took the problem head on through the establishment of a toy sector. Since January 1, 2022, the sector has been encouraged to reduce these tons of waste through the collection of used toys, reuse and even repair.

Farmers, teachers, pirates or explorers: since the 1970s, these little plastic characters have been transmitted from generation to generation. “I can no longer count the number of grandparents who come to tell me they keep these toys for their grandchildren,” laughs Bruno Bérard, general director of Playmobil[3]. These figurines stay in people's hearts for a very long time. » For him, there is no doubt, this emotional dimension is the first criterion of an ecological toy that lasts over time.[4]

Reuse, a priority

But not all toys follow the same destiny as our Playmobils. According to Ecomaison[5], the organisation approved by the French Government to take charge of the collection, reuse and recycling of toys, “half of the toys ends up in household waste, around 45% is collected in public recycling centres and less than 5% is reused”. In 2023, the priority was to optimise the reuse of toys, via donation or resale. Five thousand collection points have been set up across the country from associations, recycling centres or stores themselves. The objective is now to triple reuse by 2027.

However, many brands did not wait for the Agec law to roll up their sleeves. “We weren't starting from scratch,” says Jean Kimpe, general delegate of the Federation of shops specialising in toys and children's products (FCJPE)[6]. Above all, the law made it possible to coordinate and develop pre-existing initiatives. » In 2011, Oxybul[7] launched IDTroc[8], collection points to collect used toys from customers. “The criteria of sustainability and responsibility have been part of our brand DNA from the beginning,” says Anne Fauveau, product director of Oxybul Eveil et Jeux. Our toys are as scalable as possible in order to last over time. » The brand assumes that it places itself outside fashion trends, preferring timeless designs and colour charts in order to offer durable toys.

In spring 2021, King Toy[9] followed the movement by launching its King Okaz brands. There are now around ten of them throughout France. Toys are returned in exchange for a voucher valid in all of the brand's stores. “We see that we are responding to a real demand,” assures Coralie Gueydon, CSR manager of the group. Unlike platforms like Vinted[10], we provide a guarantee of quality. Not only is the item guaranteed to be repurchased, but they are then cleaned, repaired and checked before being put back into circulation. »

But if the brands promise more qualitative and safer reuse than that allowed by second-hand platforms, the latter currently benefit from a certain notoriety. “We have just inserted ourselves into a behaviour where, originally, specialist brands did not necessarily have their place,” recognises Coralie Gueydon. At the moment, our stores operate largely through word of mouth. » The brand also offers a repair service whereas Playmobil currently offers 20,000 spare parts in order to make their products last longer.

The big challenge of recycling

Between solar panels and characters on bicycles, the ecological farm proposed by Playmobil does not hesitate to play with the codes of a more sustainable society. Above all, like the Wiltopia collection launched in 2022, the product is made with more than 80% recycled or biosourced materials. Most come from recycled refrigerators. “Three additional ranges will be des

igned in this way in 2024,” indicates Bruno Bérard, who recalls that the German group’s objective is to be climate neutral in 2027.

Generally speaking, toys made from recycled plastic materials are still struggling to find a place under the sun. Often less solid and dull, they remain difficult to reuse to make new toys. Lego quickly noticed this. “So far, we have tested more than 300 alternative materials for our famous brick,” explains Sylvain Bouchès, Lego France marketing director. Some have been successful, such as bio-PE, and we are proud to have been able to develop this first alternative. Other materials showed their potential, but did not meet our requirements for quality, safety and durability, or help reduce our carbon footprint. That's the whole difficulty. » Last September, the brand announced that it was abandoning the use of recycled PET because it would have resulted in greater carbon emissions over the lifespan of the product. [11]

“When we use recycled material, the range of colours that we can produce is not as rich as when we use raw material coming directly from petroleum products,” recognizes Bruno Bérard. There are technical challenges to resolve. We can't imagine tomorrow that a fire truck will be pastel red. » For a product to be recyclable, it must ideally be as simple and single-material as possible. However, toys are generally made of a multitude of materials in order to promote the sensory awakening of little ones.

All this research takes time. The majority of producers agree that the organisation of recycling sectors in France still has a lot of progress to make. “This is all the more complicated to implement as safety standards are very demanding regarding toys intended for children, particularly at the European level,” adds Coralie Gueydon.

So should we say goodbye to plastic? Not necessarily, tempers Anne Fauveau who regrets a lack of information on the subject. “Disposable plastic is not good,” she explains. But durable plastic that is passed down from generation to generation, which is ten times stronger than wood, is not necessarily bad for the environment. » Oxybul has thus adopted the habit of favoring wood only when it can replace the virtues of plastic. “There is no ideal solution,” says Anne Fauveau. For example, biosourced plastic is interesting because it does not use petroleum but it is sometimes manufactured in South America to the detriment of local populations. Ecodesign is undoubtedly what is most complicated today. »[12]

Design differently

While tests to recycle plastic are increasing, others are looking for alternative materials. In 2018, Lego launched the first elements made from sugar cane waste in our play boxes to make elements such as leaves, trees and accessories.

“If we started by making botanical elements from this plastic of plant origin, we have since expanded its use to more than 200 pieces, almost half of our products,” explains Sylvain Bouchès. The treehouse thus includes 180 plastic elements of plant origin. Today, more than 50% of the brand's products contain elements made from biosourced materials.

In terms of eco-design, Oxybul has been doing well for many years. Every month, all the brand's teams participate in a meeting on this issue. The brand multiplies alternatives through the use of FSC-certified wood (by the Forest Stewardship Council)[13], water-based paint and even recycled polyester. This year, she co-created with the Thai brand Plan Toys[14] a range of wooden toys suitable for children aged 12 months and over. “This is one of the first suppliers to have implemented self-managed forests,” explains Anne Fauveau. He works in particular with hevea wood, the rubber tree, which is a plant that grows back very quickly. This avoids deforestation problems. »

The brand also wanted to be a pioneer in terms of reducing its packaging. As early as 2017, the teams decided to readjust them to the size of the products. “At the time, this did not necessarily go in the direction of commerce,” recognises Anne Fauveau. Suppliers generally prefer to have large boxes in order to be clearly visible on the shelves. Initially, this even caused a drop in sales on certain products, which required us to contact the customer to explain our approach. » Now, 80% of the brand's packaging no longer has plastic, replaced by materials such as cardboard and paper. These are intended to be reused, serving as storage boxes for children's toys.

Since then, the idea has caught on. “Ecodesign doesn’t just involve products,” insists Sylvain Bouchès. Today, 93% of Lego packaging is made from cardboard or paper-based material. Single-use plastic bags are gradually being replaced by recyclable paper bags certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Started in August, the global deployment of new boxes for the mystery minifigures should allow the group to save around 30 tonnes of single-use plastic per year.

And the work of designers and engineers is far from simple. “The paper must be able to withstand transport but also the manufacturing process in all our factories,” explains Sylvain Bouchès. However, this material is more sensitive than plastic to variations in humidity and temperature. The development of these alternative means of production and packaging involves an in-depth transformation of our processes. » Nearly 70 different papers and formats had to be tested. “This requires a lot of research and innovation,” confirms Anne Fauveau. It is important that we can share best practices between brands and be good competitors on this issue, because the solutions will tend to be found by the big players. »

More local… and transparent products

While nearly 90% of toys are imported, local products are back at the top of the bill. “Since the confinements of 2020, the place of manufacturing of toys has become a leading theme for customers,” observes Coralie Gueydon. There has been a very significant new attraction for Made in France. »

In the toy landscape, the Ecoiffier company[15] has been established in France since 1945. At Playmobil, almost all of the products are produced in Europe. “From the beginning of the company, it was a strategic approach, in order to control our manufacturing but also economic, to reduce costs,” explains Bruno Bérard. Recently, the seven Maltese production sites were grouped together in order to avoid travel between different areas. “This factory operates in daylight, which allows us to consume less electricity,” explains the general director. The heat released by the machines is recovered to provide heating when necessary, and the site has a water collector. » For the company, local production goes hand in hand with saving resources.

Faced with this demand for transparency and sustainability, King Toy recently launched the Toy Score in order to guide consumers in their choice. “Today, the toy market is not mature in terms of eco-responsibility,” explains Coralie Gueydon. But even if we are starting from very far away, it seemed important to us to promote the initiatives put in place in the sector. » Using the NutriScore[16] rating system, now well known to the general public, the Toy Score applies a rating system between 0 and 5. It is based on three criteria: the place of manufacture, the efforts made at the level of packaging and materials that make up the toy. Assisted by Ecomaison, the brand has chosen to promote products made from FSC wood and recycled materials.

Since October 26, the Toy Score has been in place in all King Toy stores as well as on their website. It was notably applied to all the toys in the Christmas catalogue. Out of 1,600 products, around 450 have a rating greater than or equal to 2 out of 5. Bioviva[17], known for its board games based on nature, thus obtains the maximum rating. The brand is closely followed by Smoby[18] which manufactures its toys in France from easily recyclable plastic. “By 2025, the objective is that 50% of our toys present real eco-design characteristics and that the criteria are raised,” indicates the CSR manager.

Because the Toy Score also aims to encourage the industry to redouble its efforts to provide more eco-responsible toys. “Many suppliers come to ask us how they can improve,” says Coralie Gueydon. Others allow us to rethink our criteria. The indicator is intended to be scalable thanks to both suppliers and customers. »

Raise consumer awareness

Will Christmas 2023 therefore be placed under the sign of eco-responsibility? Not necessarily, moderate the brands. “We don’t expect consumption habits to really change at Christmas,” admits Coralie Gueydon. It is generally children who choose toys from the catalog, and the eco-responsibility criterion is then not taken into account. »

For the holidays, buying second hand can also remain a hindrance even if brands observe that this reluctance tends to relax in society. “There remains a lot of education to be done, whether on the realities of Made in France or recycled products,” observes Anne Fauveau. And consumers are not necessarily ready to pay more for an eco-designed product. » While the period of inflation weighs on individual baskets, Oxybul has made the bet of not passing on the cost of its research on these sales prices.

“The Agec law has revolutionized many things at the industry level,” assures Coralie Gueydon. This made distributors and suppliers alike aware that we must now think beyond the life of the toy. » Lego is also preparing to triple its spending on sustainable development initiatives to reach $1.4 billion spread over four years until 2025. “Each year, we receive hundreds of letters from children who share their ideas on how we could progress, says Sylvain Bouchès. Having a positive impact on society and the planet, playing a role in building a sustainable future is a major challenge for the group. »

At the same time, Playmobil assures that it wants to pursue an approach of social responsibility. The company still belongs to a private foundation, created by its now deceased founder, which works for the development and protection of children. In addition to offering products that illustrate a more eco-responsible society, the brand also takes into account issues of representativeness and diversity. Equipped with a green roof, the school of the famous figurines is also designed to facilitate access for students with reduced mobility. “We are not lesson givers,” insists Bruno Bérard. But we can help raise children's awareness of important points for our future. And the best way to do that is through the toy. »

The Joyful Discount saves toys from the dumpster

It is one alternative among others to make the world of toys more sustainable. In August 2020, La Remission Enjouée[19] was born in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, in the North. Led by Christelle Cousin, a former specialist educator, the structure offers the collection, repair and then resale of toys in its shop. It currently employs 13 people in integration between 18 and 62 years old. “We work with people of foreign origin as well as with people at the end of their careers, the long-term unemployed or people who have been impacted by the Covid crisis,” says Christelle Cousin. In addition to participating in an ecological approach, employees gain skills and social contact.

The plus of La Remission Enjouée? “This is a real local service,” assures its director. There is an emotional side to toys. People don't want to put it in the trash and like to discuss the history of the object when they come to drop it off. » The structure, which currently depends a lot on subsidies to exist, hopes to develop in the coming years. Next step: online sales.

La première édition des Journées Nationales de la Réparation aura lieu les vendredi 20, samedi 21 et dimanche 22 octobre 2023

Le constat est sans appel : il est urgent de réduire nos déchets et de limiter l’exploitation des ressources naturelles pour préserver notre environnement. L’obsolescence accélérée des produits repose sur un modèle de société consumériste et productiviste développé depuis les années 1960 et qui est aujourd’hui devenu insoutenable. L’allongement de la durée de vie de nos produits par la réparation est un outil efficace pour répondre à cette urgence écologique, pour revenir à plus de sobriété et de justice sociale.

Le recours à la réparation se généralise, comme le démontre la multiplication des initiatives citoyennes dans les repair cafés, les tiers lieux, les associations de quartier, les Fablabs ou encore les ressourceries et recycleries, ainsi que dans les grandes enseignes de bricolage et en magasins. Les initiatives gouvernementales (loi AGEC, bonus réparation, indice de réparabilité) et les initiatives du secteur privé (services après-ventes, offre de réparation, augmentation du nombre de réparateurs…) se multiplient.

  Cependant, même si nous sommes 81% à avoir une bonne image de la réparation, seulement 33% d’entre nous font réparer leurs objets (chiffres ADEME). Il est temps de lever les freins à la réparation et d’encourager le passage à l’action !
