Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic Parts
Youth to the People Utilizes 70% Used Plastic
Debra John — April 15, 2026
Used plastic is a key component of Youth to the People’s sustainability framework, with at least 70% post-consumer recycled materials incorporated into product pumps and lids. This approach supports circular material use by reducing reliance on virgin plastics and diverting waste from landfills, contributing to lower overall environmental impact.
The brand’s broader sustainability efforts include vegan and cruelty-free certification, alongside packaging strategies that prioritize reuse and refillability. Glass containers are used wherever possible to enhance durability and recyclability, while minimizing single-use packaging. These practices reflect a commitment to responsible resource management and reduced environmental footprint.
Since 2025, Youth to the People has partnered with 1% for the Planet, contributing a portion of annual sales to vetted environmental and community-focused organizations. Refill product formats further reduce packaging materials, supporting long-term waste reduction.
