SEA ME: Pioneers of Sustainability in the Drugstore
editSEA ME is an innovative company that is passionately dedicated to reducing single-use waste and promoting a circular economy. Here are the central aspects of the company:
Key Products and Services
editSEA ME offers a variety of high-quality, vegan, and microplastic-free skincare products, including shower gels, shampoos, and conditioners. All products are packaged in reusable PET bottles that are part of the zerooo deposit system. These bottles are secured through a deposit system to ensure a high return rate[1][5].
Main Mission and Values
editThe core mission of SEA ME is to reduce single-use waste and protect the seas and oceans. The company advocates for a society where drugstore products generate no waste through closed resource cycles. SEA ME is committed to the highest transparency and sustainable action, which significantly determines the company's path[1][4].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editSEA ME is a founding member of the Mehrwegverband Deutschland e.V. and actively works on the development and promotion of reusable solutions for various applications, including drugstore products and cosmetics. The company uses reusable glass bottles made from quartz sand, a virtually unlimited raw material. The labels come from responsible forest management, and the cork closures are renewable resources[1][2][5].
By utilizing the zerooo deposit system, SEA ME significantly reduces plastic waste. With an annual volume of 120,000 bottles, the plastic reduction already amounts to around 3 tons, which corresponds to the weight of 1500 filled yellow bags[5].
SEA ME is also part of the international movement #breakfreefromplastic and supports the Federal Association of Marine Litter as well as the Ozeankind association. Additionally, the company is a member of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Community, which promotes the circular economy, and is supported by the Circular Futures innovation program[5].
