2021 BEAUTY SHORTLIST ECO LIFESTYLE AWARDS
Exciting news! We’re on a mission to spotlight the top sustainable, reusable, green home, compostable and zero waste products that are good for us and great for our collective home, the planet – welcome to the Beauty Shortlist’s first ever Eco Lifestyle Awards.
Going forward, these new Eco Awards will be open to all sectors including green home, design, food and drink, in addition to beauty and wellness.
These new awards celebrate:
B CORP & CARBON NEUTRAL COMPANIES, GREEN HOME, OCEAN, SOIL & FOREST PROTECTION (eg BUY A PRODUCT/PLANT A TREE), RECYCLING, REFILLABLES, ZERO WASTE, PLASTIC-FREE, COMPOSTABLE & HOME COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING, WATERLESS PRODUCTS, GIVE-BACK BRANDS AND ECO PACKAGING INNOVATION.
The aim of the Beauty Shortlist Eco Lifestyle Awards is to recognise, specifically, the best and most ethical “brands for good”: the companies designing products and packaging that lead the way – sustainable, waste-free and as planet-positive as possible, an important win-win for both consumers/us, and the environment/planet, alike…
Because every purchase we make and action we take has a positive or negative domino effect.
So now to the winners. CONGRATULATIONS to this year’s change-makers! Here are the results:
