Your favorite haircare line is now better for you and the environment. Garnier Fructis has restaged our entire portfolio range of shampoos & conditioners into newly designed PET bottles with 30-50% post-consumer recycled plastic which use 10% less plastic than the previous bottle design.

Garnier Fructis’ new, greener bottles are made from PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) – one of the most widely recycled plastics in the US – and contains 30%-50% Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) content – made from bottles and other similar plastic recycled items. The use of post-consumer recycled plastic reduces the amount of petroleum-based virgin plastic material used. The newly designed bottle is also 10% lighter, which helps reduce the amount of materials used by 166 tons annually.

In our continued commitment to a cleaner, greener future, our manufacturing plant has implemented significant environmental initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas production, and water and waste used per unit of finished product. Between 2005 and 2012, the plant has reduced water usage by 9.2 million gallons annually - enough water to fill 15 Olympic-size swimming pools - energy usage by 17.8% - enough energy to power a household for the next 42 years - and CO2 emissions by 676,000 pounds - the amount of emissions produced by 300 automobiles traveling from New York City to Los Angeles.

Global biodiversity under threat

Since 1980, the total area of forest worldwide has been reduced by over 135 million hectares. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC™) was founded in 1993 to stop the escalation of deforestation. FSC is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization that promotes the responsible management of the world's forests. FSC is the most demanding certifying body for sustainable management of forests, internationally recognized and supported by several NGOs. To learn more, visit www.fsc.org.

What is a Sustainably Managed Forest?

Sustainable forests are treated in a way, and at a rate, that maintains their biodiversity, productivity, regeneration capacity and vitality. They're supported in their potential to fulfill relevant ecological, economic and social functions at local, national and global levels now and in the future, and in ways that do not cause damage to other ecosystems.
