Like the youth of today, Human Nature knows by heart the importance of taking action for the oceans. Given this, they are constantly coming up with ways to be part of the solution—a solution that not only the brand can do but ones that its loyal customers can also support and contribute to.
Together with the consumers, Human Nature was able to save about 37 tonnes of plastic bottles (more than one-third the size of a blue whale) from ending up in the ocean. This equates to over 1.2 million pieces of 200ml and 2.7 million pieces of 50ml bottles saved as of May 2023.
Join Human Nature in reducing plastic waste through these initiatives:
REFUSE THE BOTTLE
Human Nature encourages its consumers to switch to solid and go plastic bottle-free! What started with shampoo bars in 2019 has now expanded to solid format variants for its personal care, home care, and beauty categories.
Both of Human Nature’s bar and powder products are natural, effective, and free from harmful chemicals. It is also a bang for the buck as shoppers can save money while being allies for the ocean. In fact, one 35g shampoo bar is equal to a 250ml bottle of liquid shampoo while the 70g bar option amounts to around 500ml of its liquid counterpart—extending one’s savings to up to P224.94.
REDUCE THE BOTTLE
Customers can also opt to upsize to 1-liter or even 1-gallon bottles of their favorite Human Nature shampoos, body washes, sanitizers, hand soaps, liquid detergents, and more. By doing so, they can save up to P199 and lessen plastic usage by up to 71%.
REFILL THE BOTTLE
Staying true to their core advocacy on sustainability, Human Nature’s Co-founder and President Anna Meloto-Wilk championed the signature drive for Mainstream Refilling—a petition to create safe, sustainable, and accessible refilling stations. Human Nature’s home care refilling stations are available at its flagship store in Commonwealth Ave., SM The Block, SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, Festival Mall, Glorietta, Ayala Malls Feliz, and Trinoma.
RECYCLE THE BOTTLE
Human Nature began its recycling initiatives in as early as 2010 and has been actively looking to partner with groups who can reuse or repurpose plastic materials. In 2022 and as part of its Balik-Bote Recycling Program, the brand partnered with Plastic Flamingo (PLAF) to transform its bottles into eco-lumber to be used as construction material for shelters, street furniture, and other architectural solutions.
For those interested, simply drop off clean empty plastic bottles in select Metro Manila Stores.
