Since the launch Ethique has already stopped more than 1,728 bottles from manufacture and, subsequently, landfill. The Ethique bars will last up to five times longer than their traditional bottle products and they also come in 100% compostable\/recyclable packaging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Founder of Ethique, entrepreneur and biochemist Brianne West said:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that a full-range of zero-waste beauty products will now be available on the nation\u2019s high streets at Holland &amp; Barrett stores, helping British consumers give up the bottle. Despite our best intentions as consumers, just 9% of plastic is recycled worldwide, with the rest piling up in landfills or making its way into our oceans. By creating solid bars of beauty products without the water that makes up to 90% of a traditional liquid product, we hope to help combat the plastic pollution problem by providing consumers with a zero-waste alternative. After all, there\u2019s water in your shower \u2013 why would you need more in your shampoo?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ethique is not just for humans, they make a bar suitable for dogs and horses, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can get the bars from Holland and Barrett with prices starting at \u00a35! <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollandandbarrett.com\/shop\/natural-beauty\/zero-waste\/#so=sort_low-high&amp;t=sort_low-high\"><strong>Click here to buy.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holland &amp; Barrett is the UK leading health and wellness retailer and it has launched the world&#8217;s first zero-waste, vegan beauty bars.
