World Oceans Day

Celebrate World Oceans Day with Love Beauty and Planet

What is World Oceans Day?

World Oceans Day is celebrated on June 8th each year and inspires and connects people worldwide to protect and restore the ocean—an amazing resource that we all depend on. This movement initially began in 2002 and since then many organizations around the world have collaboratively worked in partnership from all sectors to help rally the world and continue to grow engagement and action for our shared ocean throughout the year.

This World Oceans Day, Love Beauty and Planet has decided to join the movement by launching their new and exclusive beauty and personal care line of products packaged in bottles made from ocean bound plastic as well as partnering with the Surfrider Foundation and their sister brand, Love Home and Planet, to sponsor 26 beach clean ups and donate $250,000 back towards protecting our oceans. Read on to learn more about these new and exciting initiatives.

Why is there ocean-bound plastic in the first place? Don’t most countries offer recycling programs?

Recyclability depends greatly on individual municipalities, and therefore varies across the country. Recycling is an example of where more collaboration is needed amongst many parties to create a sustainable future. Governments, NGOs and companies need to collaborate to build infrastructure and to promote waste recycling and recovery. Recycling ocean-bound plastic is one of the ways we are working with partners to continue to innovate on this issue and help lessen our overall environmental footprint for a better planet.
