GREEN UNICORN
stripping
our bling
We've removed the faux metal finish
and matte varnish on our
primer
packaging as one of the next steps in
our journey to
reduce waste and
establish more sustainable process.
It' s the little
things that add up to
make a big impact.
PROJECT UNICORN
We are committed to reducing the amount of
packaging we use. Since 2019, Project Unicorn
has eliminated 2.5 MILLION pounds of
excess packaging.
Less packaging corresponds to fewer material
inputs, fewer transportation ton-miles, and less
waste end-of-life, all helping to reduce our carbon
footprint.
2.5 MILLION
pounds of excess
packaging
is equal to
9,500 baby
elephants.
75,000 baby
dolphins.
85,000
puppies.
