Our bit for the Environment

What Youth Beauty is Doing to Better the Environment

At Youth Beauty, we are committed to doing our part for the environment. We believe in taking responsibility for our impact on people, communities, and the planet.

Cardboard
We make a conscious effort to recycle cardboard boxes whenever possible. During our weekly grocery trips, we collect usable boxes and repurpose them for packing orders, reducing waste and promoting reuse.

Packing Materials
To minimize bubble wrap usage, we now shred old paper documents and use "junk mail" as protective packing material. This shift aims to significantly reduce our reliance on bubble wrap.

Goodbye Plastic Bags!
We are taking a major step by eliminating single-use plastic bags from our operations. Our goal is to reduce and eventually remove unnecessary plastic from our business.

Alternative Packaging
For clients who pick up orders in person, we no longer provide plastic bags. Instead, you are welcome to bring your own bags. We will also offer compostable and 100% biodegradable bags as an eco-friendly alternative.
