Sustainability

We care about the environment because it is our responsibility to make a difference. It’s hard to be environmentally friendly. Most people don't realize how big of a commitment it is, or what it costs a business. However, we know it’s the right thing to do. Tiege Hanley is prioritizing environmental stewardship and we hope you'll join us.

Tiege Hanley is committing to improving our planet while we improve your skin. A growing number of our products use packaging with up to 96% Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) materials* to limit the amount of new waste we contribute to the environment.

Black plastic is one of the most difficult plastics to recycle. Most municipal recycling centers lack the equipment to accurately sort black materials. We became aware of this issue in 2020 and began converting to a non-carbon black in our new product plastic that is more easily sorted. Unfortunately, despite the energy and money it takes Tiege Hanley to make this change, many recycling centers may still lack the appropriate sorting capabilities.

Adding PCR to our packaging and switching to non-carbon black has cost Tiege Hanley a lot of money. On average PCR packaging cost 15% more than virgin plastic. We are trying to absorb as much of this cost as possible. We are making every effort to avoid price increases or formulating them with cheaper ingredients, which we’ve noticed is a common practice.

Join our mission to be better stewards of the environment.
