What Bounce Curl is Doing
Bounce Curl is taking a multi-prong approach to maintaining our commitment to help care for our Earth.
Packaging
We are excited to share the news that we have begun using packaging for our tube products made from sugarcane - renewable Braskem’s Green Polyethylene. Because single-use plastic is produced from fossil fuels, the process of extracting and creating these conventional plastics emits huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In turn, those greenhouse gases block radiation from leaving the earth’s atmosphere, trapping the radiation from the sun and warming the planet’s surface more than it would occur naturally. Actually, plastic results in greenhouse gas emissions at every stage of its lifecycle. The ethanol used to produce Green Polyethylene (that we are now using!) is derived from sugarcane ethanol – how innovative! This process results in a greatly reduced amount of harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Green Polyethylene is renewable, recyclable, sustainable, and CO2 negative (less greenhouse gases released).
For any products where we cannot use sugar cane packaging yet, we will turn to packaging using PCR (Post-Consumer Resin - made from used, recycled and, repurposed plastic), which is the best other option available to us. No new fossil resources are required to produce PCR plastics – essentially the material is made of waste. In this way, its production contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions relative to standard plastic.
In other words, Bounce Curl is taking the innovative step of utilizing responsible packaging BEFORE it gets into the consumers hands!
Recycling
Every product container in the Bounce Curl line is recyclable. Simply check the back of the bottle, jar, etc. and you will see the "recycle" icon. No need to remove labeling; our product labels are printed directly on the bottle/jar. Lids and pumps are not recyclable at this time. Simply rinse out the container and place in with your other plastic recyclables.
