Sustainable Products for Retailers | Noble Isle’s Sustainable Bath Body and Home Collections
What are sustainable products?
Why are sustainable products important?
Sustainable products are important for a number of reasons. First, they help to reduce the amount of waste that is generated in the production process. In the UK, the beauty industry alone generates over 500,000 tonnes of plastic waste every year. In a survey of UK consumers, 68% said they would switch to a brand that is more sustainable.
Many traditional Bath, Body, and Home products are made using synthetic materials that are not biodegradable, which means they will sit in landfills for many years to come. According to the UK government, 9.4 million tonnes of packaging waste was generated in the UK in 2018. Sustainable products, on the other hand, are made using natural materials that can be easily broken down and absorbed by the environment.
In addition to reducing waste, sustainable products are often healthier for consumers. Many traditional products contain chemicals and synthetic ingredients that can be harmful to our bodies. Sustainable products are made using natural ingredients that are not only safer but often offer additional health benefits.
Why should retailers offer sustainable products?
Retailers should offer sustainable products for a number of reasons. Firstly, it’s what UK consumers want. In a survey of UK consumers, 85% said they wanted to buy products that are better for the environment. As people become more aware of their impact on the environment, they are looking for products that align with their values. Offering sustainable products can help retailers attract a more environmentally conscious customer base.
In addition to appealing to consumers, offering sustainable products can also help retailers reduce their own environmental impact. By sourcing products from sustainable, local suppliers, retailers can reduce their carbon footprint and demonstrate their commitment to the environment. The UK market for natural and organic personal care products was worth £86.5 million in 2020, showing that there is a growing demand for sustainable products.
Noble Isle, as a brand, provides sustainable retail and hotel products. We use only green formulations in our products, and our packaging is made using 50% recyclable materials which is entirely recyclable after use, creating no virgin plastics. We also introduced glass bottles and jars into our portfolio last year with 1 litre refills. Noble Isle provides retail products to retailers such as Liberty and Harrods, helping to promote sustainable products to a wider audience.
Finally, offering sustainable products can help retailers stay ahead of the curve. As sustainability becomes more important, it’s likely that more and more UK consumers will be looking for sustainable options. By offering these products now, retailers can position themselves as leaders in the industry and attract more customers in the long run.
