Eco-friendly face packs that do not produce waste

The newly released 2020 face pack from NAVEEN, a Taiwanese cosmetics brand established in 2013, is attracting attention as an environmentally friendly product that does not produce waste, as waste becomes an issue due to nest-egg consumption. While other companies' face packs are not recyclable, from the packaging to the pack itself, NAVEEN face packs are made of COSMOS ORGANIC certified organic cotton and are naturally decomposable, so after use, they can be disposed of directly into the soil in gardens or other places, or mixed with food scraps to make compost. After use, you can dispose of it directly into the soil, such as in the garden, or mix it with kitchen waste to make compost.
To use the pack, put the pack (10 yuan/each) in a clean container such as a glass cup, soak it in the essence (380 yuan/each) sold separately, and put it on your face for about 15 minutes, just like a regular pack. The glass bottles that hold the essence cost NT$50 (about ¥181) each, but if you bring them to the store, you can get cash back. A portion of the proceeds is donated to the Taiwan Environmental Information Association.
Currently, the product is only sold in brick-and-mortar stores, mainly in Taipei, but the company is planning to develop a recyclable exterior so that it can be sold through home delivery. It is expected to spread throughout Taiwan in the future.

Taiwan is the world's largest producer of face packs

Taiwanese people have a habit of using packs on a regular basis, and you can find them all lined up in drugstores. More than 100 million packs are consumed in the country every year. Taiwanese pack brands produce the largest amount of packs in the world, and the total amount of packs produced in a year is said to be equivalent to the height of ten Taipei 101 buildings, the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan.
Taiwan-made packs have won awards in Europe, and are of high quality, making them a popular souvenir for tourists. However, the large amount of waste generated by the use of these packs has become a serious environmental problem for Taiwan as a whole. The company that produces NAVEEN, Yongjia Global Corporation, is attracting attention as a company that aims for a sustainable global environment.
