And how the cosmetic packaging sector can be part of the solution.
Brewing a cup of coffee takes about 3 minutes.
In that time, the world produces over 18,000 tonnes of plastic.
Much of it is used for single-use packaging—including cosmetic packaging, one of the industries with the highest plastic waste per product unit.
And while you’re reading this with a coffee in hand, hundreds of thousands of cosmetic containers are being manufactured using non-recyclable and non-biodegradable materials.
The environmental impact of cosmetic packaging
Conventional cosmetics have long relied on plastic due to its low cost and versatility. But the environmental cost is significant:
- Thousands of tonnes of plastic waste every year.
- Packaging that’s rarely recycled due to complex design.
- Intensive use of fossil resources.
A real alternative: Oryzite-based packaging
At Novsus, we believe the future of sustainable beauty packaging lies in reducing, rethinking, and replacing materials.
We’re turning that vision into reality with Oryzite, an innovative material made from rice husk, which allows us to create:
- Eco-friendly packaging without compromising aesthetics or functionality.
- New sustainable materials compatible with today’s industrial processes.
- Lighter, more natural packaging with a lower carbon footprint.
A measurable, positive impact
In 2024, together with our partners, we achieved the following thanks to the adoption of Oryzite-based sustainable materials in cosmetics and other sectors:
- 26,000,000 kg of plastic saved
- 90,480,000 kg of CO₂ emissions reduced
- Equivalent to the CO₂ captured by 6,032,000 trees
This isn’t a promise. It’s a measurable impact.
What would your impact be if you switched to sustainable packaging?
Now you can find out with our interactive tool.
It only takes a few seconds to calculate:
- How much CO₂ you can avoid.
- How many kilos of plastic you can save.
- How many trees your decision equals.
Try it while you enjoy your coffee—and start changing the world.
Change starts with your product line
In a market where consumers demand transparency and sustainability, using sustainable packaging materials for cosmetics is no longer optional—it’s a competitive advantage.
Every cosmetic container made from alternative materials counts.
Every gram of Oryzite-based packaging is a statement of commitment.
One coffee. One decision. A different future.
Sustainability doesn’t begin with massive campaigns—it starts with small, consistent actions repeated millions of times.
Choosing a more responsible packaging solution for your cosmetic line is one of them.
And it can start… right now, with this coffee.
