It’s a sobering statistic: Despite the best efforts of green teams around the world, 95% of all items disposed of in hotel rooms end up in landfill. That includes some 5.5 billion hotel toiletry bottles per year.
Leave it to Jean-Michel Cousteau—son of oceanographer Jacques Cousteau and founder of the Ocean Futures Society—to enlist an effective solution.
The famed explorer, environmentalist and filmmaker has partnered with Concept Amenities and Maricoid to introduce an environmental collection of bath and body care products. This collection—Jean-Michel Cousteau by Maricoid—is inspired by the beauty and wonders of the oceans and reflects Cousteau’s life-long commitment to the environment.
Cousteau will be in our booth on Monday, Nov. 14, from 11-1, to officially launch the collection.
The comprehensive line of liquids, soaps and accessories has been designed with distinctive features that include paraben-free liquids and soaps specially formulated with 100% organically certified Seaweed extract. Vegetable-based soaps contain raw materials sourced from established plantations. Moisturizing lotion features grapeseed oil and organic aloe vera extract and fragrance notes include traces of tropical coconut and apple, and sweet florals. The plastic packaging components are completely biodegrade in landfill to CO2, water and humus, leaving nothing that’s harmful to the environment behind.
“Our planet is a living organism,” explains Cousteau. “We have the capacity to design our own future and bring our values and actions in line with ecological necessities. This is the commitment we need to make to the world, now.” This is why Cousteau chose to partner with Concept Amenities—a world leader in the supply of environmentally responsible guest amenities.
“As eco-crusaders, we are relentless about making this a better world,” says Michael Matulick, managing director at Concept Amenities. “Like Cousteau, our commitment to environmental research stems from the belief that planet stewardship should be at the heart of everything we do.”
Celebrating three decades as a world leader in the supply of exclusive environmental guest amenities, our collections contain the finest formulations, natural botanical ingredients, sophisticated fragrances and a rich array of organic extracts to truly nourish the skin, body and soul.
