She added, referencing the free recycling programme Terracycle.com: "The pads can be recycled using the TerraCycle scheme - which I'm really happy about."

For Marie Videau, Group General Manager for Research and Development at L’OCCITANE, the company serves two clients, consumers and nature. How can the travel retail industry reduce packaging waste? There are two main options – either reducing or eliminating waste. One way is with dissolvable packaging or simply by reducing plastic use.
