Ethique Sustainability Actions

Plastic-free product packaging

Ethique has designed its product containers to avoid plastic. Independent assessment says its containers are plastic-free and home-compostable, which means they can break down in a home compost setup rather than staying in landfill for a long time. The brand also tries to use less material in both primary packaging and shipping materials. This matters because packaging is a major source of waste in beauty products.

Waterless bars and low-waste formats

Ethique sells shampoo bars, conditioner bars, and other solid personal care products instead of many liquid products in bottles. The Commons Earth says the brand uses waterless formats and other waste-cutting product models for most of its range. Solid formats usually need less packaging and can reduce transport waste too, because they are lighter and smaller than bottled products.

Ingredient restrictions

Ethique has made ingredient commitments to lower its environmental impact. Independent sources say it avoids parabens, phthalates, petrochemical-based ingredients, uncertified palm oil, PFAS, and microplastics. These are ingredients that can be linked to pollution or other environmental harm. The brand also shares a full ingredient list for each product, which helps people check what is in the formula.

Climate-neutral and offsetting

The Commons Earth says Ethique is certified climate neutral by Ecologi, a service that measures emissions and supports offsetting projects. It also says the brand offsets emissions from its full value chain and, in some categories, offsets more than 100% of its emissions. Offsetting means paying for projects meant to balance out emissions elsewhere. The same source notes that Ethique measures emissions with help from Ecologi, but does not share the full method or findings.

Renewable energy use

Ethique says it has started to use renewable energy in its offices. The Commons Earth notes this as a positive step, but also says the brand does not share how much renewable energy it uses or where it comes from. It also does not publish clear targets for expanding renewable energy use. That makes it harder for outsiders to judge how far the brand has really moved away from fossil fuels.
