As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on an incredible year of growth, innovation, and meaningful steps toward sustainability. At Manjeri Skincare, we believe that true beauty comes from within—and from how we treat our planet. This year, we deepened our commitment to reducing our environmental impact while staying true to our mission of holistic body care inspired by global traditions. Let’s dive into the milestones we’ve achieved, our partnership with CleanHub, and our ambitious goals for 2025.
Our Sustainability Milestones in 2024
1. Partnership with CleanHub
In October 2024, we proudly partnered with CleanHub, a pioneering organization dedicated to preventing plastic pollution. Through this partnership, we contributed to removing over 520 pounds of plastic waste, which is 52% of our 2024 goal of 1,000 pounds. This accomplishment reinforces our commitment to combating the global plastic crisis and supporting sustainable ecosystems.
2. Packaging Exploration and Research
While we didn’t fully transition our products to sustainable packaging, we conducted extensive research and development into biodegradable and recyclable materials. These insights will guide our plans for packaging updates in 2025 and beyond.
3. Awareness Through Collaborations
To spread awareness about plastic waste and sustainability, we collaborated with CleanHub and other partners. Through social media and community engagement, we inspired collective action and educated our audience on eco-conscious living.
The Impact of Our Partnership with CleanHub
Our collaboration with CleanHub has been instrumental in advancing our sustainability efforts. Here’s how:
-
Measurable Results: Through CleanHub, we helped divert over 520 pounds of plastic from oceans and waterways. This measurable impact ensures accountability and progress toward our goals.
-
Community Empowerment: CleanHub’s operations in affected regions provide sustainable job opportunities for local communities engaged in waste collection and recycling.
-
Transparency: CleanHub offers detailed impact reports, ensuring that every effort aligns with our values of accountability and environmental stewardship.

Goals for 2025
As we look to the future, we’re setting ambitious yet achievable goals to advance our sustainability journey:
1. Plastic-Free Packaging Progress
We aim to implement sustainable packaging solutions for 50% of our product line by the end of 2025. This includes exploring compostable and refillable options for existing and new products.
2. Increased Plastic Removal
Building on our success in 2024, we’re raising the bar with a new target of removing 1,500 pounds of plastic waste through our CleanHub partnership in 2025.
3. Circular Economy Initiatives
We plan to introduce a take-back program for used product packaging, ensuring materials are recycled or upcycled responsibly.
4. Net-Zero Operations
By the end of 2025, we aim to achieve net-zero emissions across all operations. This includes sourcing renewable energy, optimizing logistics, and working with eco-conscious suppliers.
Why Sustainability Matters in Skincare
The beauty industry produces millions of tons of waste annually, much of which ends up in landfills or oceans. At Manjeri Skincare, we’re committed to challenging these norms and paving the way for a greener future.
Key Industry Statistics:
-
120 billion units of packaging are produced annually by the global cosmetics industry.
-
Less than 10% of plastic waste worldwide is recycled.
-
Transitioning to sustainable practices could reduce the beauty industry’s carbon footprint by 30% by 2030.
