Pact Collective on how they want to help the beauty industry work towards circularity
Q&A
Pact Collective started around a year ago with a mission to help beauty become more circular, and the non-profit has several plans to tackle the industry's biggest waste problems.
CosmeticsDesign spoke with Pact Collective about how they are working towards a circular economy, why they believe that transition matters and what the challenges are.
Tell me a bit about Pact Collective’s mission around circularity in personal care and cosmetics.
