SUSTAINABILITY

At REMAKE, we see waste as a resource. Every bottle is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, and our boxes are crafted from sugarcane pulp left over from juicing. These materials are already in circulation, so we’re not creating anything new. We’re simply giving existing resources a second life in beautiful, purposeful packaging that can be recycled again.

Sugarcane pulp is a byproduct that would normally be discarded or burned. Instead, we use it to create our compostable shipping boxes. It’s fast-growing, renewable, and requires less energy than virgin materials. Unlike many "eco" mailers that aren’t actually recyclable or compostable in Australia, our sugarcane pulp packaging breaks down naturally and is compostable or kerbside recyclable.

Virgin plastic relies on fossil fuels and adds to landfill. Glass, while often seen as premium, is energy-intensive to make and ship, and it breaks. We chose recycled plastic because it’s light, durable, and already part of the waste stream. It helps us lower our carbon footprint without compromising on quality or function.

Yes and we’ve made it easy. Our bottles and boxes are fully kerbside recyclable across Australia. As for the finer components like pumps and sprays, while they can't go in your home recycling bin, they can be taken to designated collection points such as a TerraCycle drop-off. We’re actively working towards solutions that keep every part of our packaging in circulation, not landfill.

Yes all of our skincare is made right here in Australia. Local production reduces the carbon footprint associated with transport, gives us greater visibility over our supply chain, and ensures high standards across ingredient sourcing, manufacturing, and labour. It also means we can support Australian businesses and keep our sustainability practices close to home.

The only exception is our reusable silicone face mask, which is made offshore due to the specialist manufacturing required. We chose a durable, high-quality supplier and continue to explore local options that meet both performance and sustainability benchmarks.

We believe sustainability should be transparent, not trendy. While we don’t claim full traceability (yet), we’re upfront about where we’re at, and where we’re going. Our packaging is certified, our formulations are clean and minimalist, and our approach is rooted in circularity, not overconsumption.

We don’t rely on vague buzzwords or misleading labels. Instead, we share real information on sourcing, ingredients, and sustainability practices so you can make informed choices. We’re always working to do better, and we’ll never pretend otherwise.
