Throughout recent years, the Philippines has experienced a boom within the cosmetic market, and with this rise in popularity came a rise in sales, and eventually a rise in waste material. Materials that are harder to recycle, such as plastic that has widespread usage throughout the industry, result in a long-lasting impact on the environment. Affecting future generations in the process.
With the problem in mind, many cosmetic companies, especially in the Philippines, have taken steps towards more sustainable practices to meet the growing demand of environmentally conscious consumers. With climate change as a major global issue, the country is working on new strategies and regulations to reduce its carbon footprint and promote eco-friendly choices.
Sustainability is not just a trend!
Going sustainable gives you a competitive edge as a future cosmetics business owner. By making this choice, you’re not only reducing environmental harm, you're building a brand that today’s conscious consumers can trust and support.
And it pays off! Through the Philippine Green Jobs Act (RA 10771), sustainable businesses can enjoy tax benefits, including deductions for green projects and tax and duty-free importation of equipment used for eco-friendly operations.
So do good, stand out, and grow smarter.
