Plant Pod® looks and feels like a traditional pipe, just minus the fossil fuel

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, February 17, 2021/PRNewswire/-The future of lipsticks is 100% plastic-free. Eco Lips launched Plant Pod today, the first ever environmentally sustainable lipstick tube made entirely of plants, which looks, feels and functions similar to a plastic tube.

Eco Lips-a certified B Corp-is the largest independent organic lip balm manufacturer in the United States-develops and manufactures sustainable brand and private label lip balm for millions of lips worldwide every year. When consumers are looking for more plant-based sustainable products in all aspects of life, it launched Plant Pod.

"Eco Lips will not provide oral services for sustainability-we live every day, from our organic and fair trade ingredients sourcing, manufacturing using 100% renewable energy, to our new 100% plastic-free packaging, We are really'ecological' in all aspects," said Steve Schleifer, founder and CEO of Eco Lips. "But, plastic. Plastic! Without it, we couldn't make a truly sturdy Eco Lips container. It's like a fly buzzing around a perfect picnic plate."

"Now, with Plant Pod, we are reaching a new level and looking forward to a future of zero plastics," he added.

Eco Lips' plant-based tubes are available through online order today and will begin to appear in retail stores in the coming months.

What does zero plastic really mean "Because there are no plastic and fossil fuel-based ingredients, we are greatly reducing our carbon footprint and reducing the production and disposal of plastic," Shriver added. “Not to mention, because plants absorb carbon dioxide before harvest, they reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This move not only meets our values ​​as a company, but also meets the growing demand for environmentally friendly products.”
