Pipeline Pepper

We as @pipelinepepper continue to educate ourselves further on sustainability and welcome the change on how plastic packaging is reported on Industry update via @thesustainablefashionforum Pre Instagram, influencers, and TikTok magazines were the authority in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, dictating what's hot and what's not. Now, in the digital age, everyday citizens are leading the trends.... While the power dynamics may have shifted, it's clear that media still plays a role in influencing our decisions at least when it comes to validating the credibility of brands. With this in mind, as journalists whose job is to uncover and report on the truth, does the media have a responsibility to fight greenwashing by thoroughly vetting brand's sustainability claims rather than taking what's in their press release as truth? As reported by @wwd’s Kathryn Hopkins, beauty magazine @allure is taking responsibility for its role in the conversation by rethinking its terminology around sustainability when reporting on "sustainable" packaging. from article: That includes never referring to any plastic as "recyclable" since while many plastics are capable of being recycled only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been turned into something that was able to be used again. Also banned from the pages of the glossy magazine when it comes to describing packaging are the terms "earth-friendly," "eco-friendly," "planet-friendly" and "biodegradable." Allure explained that while the latter defines a substance or object that is capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms, there is no specific time limit, and most landfills don't have enough oxygen to get the job done. "There's just so many buzzwords that are being thrown around that in a lot of cases we've seen from the reporting we've done on sustainability in the last couple of years, they just don't mean that much," said Jenny Bailly, executive beauty director of Allure. "So we felt we needed to take a stand on the language we were going to use." @wwd #wwd @allure #allure #plasticfree #sustainability #ecofriendlyproducts #beautyeditorial #sustainablebeauty
