Manufacturers and consumers are becoming acutely aware of the challenge we face in dealing with the current single use plastic epidemic. Demand from consumers and product manufacturers is starting to motivate packaging suppliers to provide solutions, however for many smaller cosmetic manufacturers these solutions are in some respects still very difficult to access. Minimum order volumes are high and require significant investment.

Island Essentials as a small Canadian manufacturer is transitioning away from single use virgin plastics, however the solution of choice is product dependent. We have spent a lot of time and money, to ensure the choices we make are viable. It is with you, the customers, support that we are able to take the next step forward, continue to monitor innovations and drive packaging to be greener and more sustainable.
