BIOTHERM PACKAGING: A PIONEER IN NEW RECYCLING TECHNOLOGIESAn integral part of Biotherm’s ongoing environmental mission is to develop a sustainable circular economy. We pledge to reduce our plastic-packaging footprint progressively over the years by prioritizing recycled plastic or glass and pledge to be a pioneer in new recycling technologies to preserve natural resources and reduce fossil plastic consumption.As part of our commitment to Blue Beauty and reducing the impact of plastic in our oceans, Biotherm is actively upgrading product packaging to better its environmental approach:
- As of 2020, all PET packaging is made from 100% recycled PET.
- By 2023, the brand will ensure that all products are made of a minimum of 50% recycled plastic and will start to use bio-recycled plastic when available.*
- In 2025, Biotherm will be 80% fossil-free in its overall plastic consumption and to foster a circular economy for plastics, the brand commits to ensuring that 100% of its plastic packaging will be reusable, recyclable or refillable by 2025.
- By 2030, 100% of the plastic used in Biotherm’s packaging will be either from recycled or biobased sources.
*Bio-recycled plastic is not the same as biodegradable plastic.

By funding the Tara Ocean Foundation, the Water Lovers program supports this non-profit organization’s critical research on the impact of climate and ecological change on the ocean, which in turn helps us to understand how to minimize our products’ impact on water and raise awareness on environmental issues.
Tara Ocean Foundation collaborates with scientific institutions and sails a 36-meter aluminum schooner called Tara around the world to collect ocean data. The boat has completed 12 expeditions so far, providing scientists with the information they need to predict and anticipate the impact of climate change.
In 2020, Tara will be embarking on a South Atlantic Mission in October 2020 dedicated to studying plankton and micro plastics in rivers in Brazil, Chili, Argentina, South Africa, and Senegal.
