CASE STUDY: L’OREAL

The Issue 
Out of date cosmetics are potentially a huge risk to health and the performance and efficacy of some cosmetic products can be depleted over time and become harmful to the user. The European Commission requires tighter stipulations on effective labelling on perishable cosmetics that manufacturers must follow. If not disposed of securely and effectively, open, unsold, out of date products and samples are at risk of being in general circulation or from being resold through the black market. 

The Solution 
We provide L’Oreal with an independent witnessed destruction service that ensures that all perishable items are disposed of effectively. We monitor and evidence this process and supply this proof of destruction to the client.

The Result 
We ensure that L’Oreal meets its legal obligations to dispose of perishable items in an effective manner to help protect public health and mitigate against products becoming contraband.
