    What are the latest trends in post-consumer recycled products?

    May 14, 2019 Aveda was the first beauty company to use 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) PET, and today more than 85% of their packaging portfolio contains 100% PCR.

Aveda has proven that using PCR does not mean compromising your brand or your customer's expectations.
