How Davines is reducing our ‘water footprint’

At Davines, we’ve always been committed to making beauty as sustainable as possible. That’s why we’re doing everything we can to protect one of the planet’s most precious resources: water.  

Tackling water scarcity and water pollution

From green water stored invisibly in plants and in the soil, to the vast blue waters of our oceans, lakes and rivers, water is a precious resource - and one that’s under threat. That’s why, at Davines, we’re working hard to reduce our water usage, as well as to tackle water pollution through the removal of plastic waste from the environment.

The challenges we’re facing

Water withdrawal
  • Human activity is depleting our freshwater reserves 
  • These activities include agriculture (70%), industry (around 20%) and domestic use (about 10%) [1]
Water pollution
  • Plastic build up in our waters is due to triple by 2060 [2]
  • Almost every ocean species has encountered plastic pollution, with nearly 90% being negatively affected[3]

FAQs

If plastic is a problem, why still use plastic?

Plastic pollution isn’t the only challenge facing our planet. We’re also doing our best to tackle climate change. Plastic allows for less material usage and less packaging weight, leading to significantly lower CO2eq emissions than other materials. Especially when plastic is recycled or bio-based.


What does eco-design mean?

The term eco-design refers to a set of principles applied to packaging design and development, which reduces its environmental impact. Eco-design considers many aspects such as carbon emission, use of resources, pollution and more. 


Who is Plastic Bank?

Plastic Bank is a Canadian for-profit social enterprise that builds recycling ecosystems to fight both plastic pollution in oceans and high poverty levels in developing countries.
