ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY. Beauty is an industry that gets a bad rap when it comes to sustainability. That’s because the beauty industry generates up to 120 billion units of plastics packaging per year contributing to the loss of 18 million acres of forest annually. Packaging is clearly an issue, but there are other challenges for brands wanting to lower their environmental impact, including carbon production, water waste and energy consumption.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
