Plastic Bank’s Partnership with evo hair

PLASTIC BANK AND EVO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

evo wants to bring about change for the better… which isn’t easy for a hair care brand that creates things for a living. Waste is unavoidable when you’re in the game of making and creating, but evo continues to strive to become the most responsible brand it can be. evo’s commitment? To minimize its impact, wherever it can.

To decrease its plastic footprint, evo currently uses green PE and is transitioning to PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic to further minimize the amount of virgin plastic it produces. Through this partnership with Plastic Bank, evo goes one step further to help protect the environment for future generations by collecting discarded plastic.

In the first year of this partnership, evo and Plastic Bank have gathered 42,800 kilograms of plastic waste from the environment – that’s the equivalent of over 2,054,400 single-use plastic bottles. And with each year that passes, that number will keep on climbing!

Challenging the status quo

evo is committed to challenging the status quo with honest beauty products that respect people and the planet. This partnership was a no-brainer as Plastic Bank is an organization that lives by those exact values. Plastic Bank stops plastic pollution by empowering collection members who exchange discarded plastic for extra income and social benefits – helping them to pave a path out of poverty.

evo believes that sustainability is a journey of progress, not a path to perfection – and this initiative is the next step on that journey. Together, we can make a real difference.

“At evo, we want to help create change for the better and that’s why we are excited to partner with Plastic Bank to help reduce our plastic footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future for all. In 2023, we were able to prevent over 42,000 kg of plastic from entering the oceans and this number is set to only increase with each year that we work together. We look forward to taking our customers on this journey with us.”
