How Refillable Beauty Makes Shipping and Delivery More Sustainable

Refillable beauty is known for cutting packaging waste. But it also makes shipping greener.

Here is how refills reduce the footprint of every delivery.

How does refillable beauty reduce shipping impact?

Refills are smaller and lighter than full-size products. That changes everything about delivery.

Less packaging, less padding and lighter parcels all add up. More orders fit in each van.

Less packaging per parcel

A refill pouch needs far less protection than a boxed product. There is no rigid outer packaging to cushion.

Adorn ships without single-use outer boxes or plastic seals. Orders are wrapped in recycled paper and biodegradable bags.

Lighter parcels, lower emissions

Lighter parcels use less fuel to transport. Weight is a major factor in delivery emissions.

Refills strip out heavy glass and rigid plastic. The result is a lighter footprint per order.

More products per delivery van

Smaller parcels mean more orders fit in each vehicle. Fewer vans are needed to deliver the same volume.

That reduces road miles, congestion and emissions across the whole journey.

Made and shipped locally

Adorn is Australian made and family-owned. Local manufacturing reduces transport distances.

Shorter supply chains mean fewer emissions before your order even ships.

The takeaway

Refillable beauty saves more than packaging. It makes every parcel lighter, smaller and greener.

Since 2010, our customers have made over 221,000 refills, keeping 11,000kg of packaging from landfill.

Adorn pioneered refillable beauty in 2008. Read about our sustainability approach or our shipping and delivery.
