Sustainability

score : 8.0/10

Packaging

Battle Green's product and shipping packaging is 100% plastic free. They use a combination of recycled, upcycled, or sustainably sourced cardboard boxes, shredded cardboard waste, and paper tape with a vegan & biodegradable adhesive. Exact specifics for this combination are not readily available, however. Battle Green joined the On-Pack Recycling Label (OPRL) scheme in 2024, and plans to provide specific information regarding the materials used and disposal instructions for their packaging. Much of their packaging is designed for refill and is compostable.

Material Sustainability

Battle Green's formulations are comprised almost exclusively from low impact, plant-based ingredients, par some minor exceptions. These include geranium oil in some products (can be unsustainably farmed due to monoculture soil depletion) and grapeseed oil (better sourced organically due to the heavy pesticide use in cultivation). Other than these minor exceptions, Battle Green's personal care ingredient sourcing is highly sustainable and carries a low environmental impact. The brand also incorporates a number of upcycled ingredients like coffee grounds, charcoal, and raspberry seeds, which reduces waste and promotes circularity.
