We shine a spotlight on the steps being made by beauty to reduce plastic packaging and plastic waste in this video edition of the Editor’s spotlight.

With Costa Rica recently becoming the first country in the world to announce that it is ditching single use plastics, it is clear that the war on plastics is really heating up.
