Damaged packaging, short date, old collection… Even if they can be used, some beauty products end up in the trash. This is why Greez offers them at discounted prices on its website.
Waste is a scourge that does not escape the cosmetics industry. Indeed, a staggering quantity of beauty products are thrown away every day… According to a study carried out by the IFOP institute for Laboté in 2021, it would be around 4 tonnes! But thanks to the Greez platform which collects unsold items destined for the trash in order to resell them at up to 80% off, cosmetic waste will soon be over.
Anti-waste cosmetics with Greez
Every Tuesday morning, at 9 a.m., the website greez.fr puts online skincare products, haircare, make-up and even perfumes at unbeatable prices to combat cosmetic waste. Among them, we find unsold items or items from old collections, but also some with a slight aesthetic defect, a short date, or from excess stock. Brands like Aquafolia, Ylaé, Elfenn, ENDOR, M&A Lab and Acorelle are sold much cheaper than in the original store. Still in this anti-waste spirit, the platform regularly donates products to associations.
Avoiding cosmetic waste on our scale
Beyond using the Greez platform to make your cosmetic purchases, there are several simple actions to combat this waste on a daily basis. First of all, it is necessary to know your skin and its needs in order to buy suitable care that we will actually use. Another habit to get into is to throw away a product only when it is finished or expired. Finally, we can turn to refillable products, with recyclable packaging and natural formulations. Nothing too complicated!
