Carton Care

Cosmetics brands are releasing soaps and serums in paper-based carton packages

Trend - Self-care brands are packaging products in paper-based cartons. These cartons are capable of holding liquid substances without deteriorating, making them perfect for dishsoaps, shampoos, and more. These cartons have lower carbon footprints and are easier to recycle by the end user.

Insight - Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the products they consume. In particular, the health and beauty industry often receives pushback for wasteful and environmentally-destructive practices. As such, these consumers are voting with their dollars, opting for products with eco-friendly labels and recyclable packaging over traditional alternatives. Brands in the space are becoming aware of this, and are engaging in more sustainable product-related practices.
Workshop Question - How could your brand better connect with eco-minded consumers, whether through product or policy alterations?
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Packaging - The shift towards recyclable paper-based cartons significantly reduces plastic waste and appeals to environmentally-conscious consumers.
2. Natural Ingredients - Consumers are increasingly drawn to products that are free from harsh chemicals, promoting health and safety in personal care routines.
3. Multi-functional Products - Combining two or more functions in a single product offers convenience and reduces the number of items consumers need to purchase, aligning with minimalist trends.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Personal Care - Adopting sustainable packaging and clean ingredient formulations addresses the rising consumer demand for eco-conscious and health-focused products.
2. Home Care - Eco-friendly packaging solutions for cleaning products help reduce environmental impact and cater to the growing market of green living enthusiasts.
3. Consumer Goods - Innovations in packaging materials and product formulations can set new standards for sustainability and function across various consumer segments.
