Aveda is dedicated to achieving high performance in services and products without compromising the environment. Aveda’s goal is to eliminate waste and make a positive difference in the world. In nature, everything gets used or is returned to the earth.
“At Aveda, we find inspiration in nature and believe that it should be emulated as a model of sustainability. Aveda is committed to developing products that can be responsibly sourced, manufactured, used and then returned to the natural world. We also develop packaging with high levels of post-consumer recycled content that can be continuously cycled in the industrial world,” says Dave Rapaport, Vice President Earth & Community Care, Aveda. “The reality is that municipal programs vary in the types of materials they are able to recycle. Aveda is committed to a no waste philosophy. We know this program can make a difference. The success of our pilot program in Colorado in 2011-2012 reported that 98% of the materials received were recycled into reusable material.”
In an effort to continue to bring sustainability full circle, g2 revolution launched the “Feed the Future” program in January 2013 in cooperation with the West Ohio Food Bank. For every Full Circle recycling bin processed for recycling, g2 revolution will donate funds that will allow the West Ohio Food Bank to purchase 2 ½ pounds of food. Visit aveda.com.
Any Aveda packaging or accessories that are not accepted by a municipal recycling program can be turned in to an Aveda Experience Retail Center where it will be sorted for recycling.
