With its refill body care products, the start-up Levy & Frey has developed an environmentally friendly and resource-saving alternative to conventional disposable packaging.
Plastic itself is not the problem, but how and for how long we use it, says founder Jo Witte. She not only favours natural and high-quality ingredients, but has also developed a resource-conserving Alternative to the usual disposable packaging developed.
The basic idea behind the packaging concept is that traditional body care products consist of up to 90 per cent water and only 10 per cent is the actual ingredient. Levy & Frey therefore supplies empty product bottles and small powder sachets with the actual essential ingredient for your own mixture.
Resource-saving alternative maintains the familiar routine
„The rethink with regard to sustainability has long since begun - but the crux of the matter is implementation. Although many people want to reduce their impact on the environment through their behaviour, they don't want to give up their usual routine,“ says Witte. Levy & Frey should therefore be a sustainable body care line for everyone, who want to avoid single-use plastic, without changing their previous cleansing ritual to have to.
The powders ordered online are with the addition of tap water into shampoo, shower gel, hand soap and conditioner. This results in products with the usual creamy consistency. The ingredients are natural and from regional production. As soon as the contents are used up, the contents of a new powder sachet find their way into the reusable bottles, conveniently and cost-effectively.
