The Circular Personal Care Ecosystem for Yorkshire

Dr Anna Alessi

Research Overview

The personal care product sector is under pressure to reduce the industry’s adverse impact on the environment. Many companies have set ambitious goals to reach net-zero emissions and play a leading role in a low-carbon economy transition. This is largely driven by growing customer demand for transparency and sustainable cosmetic products.  

The aim of this exploratory research was to map the innovative personal care product ecosystem of Yorkshire by identifying the main components of the ecosystem, showing examples of initiatives accelerating the sector’s shift to circularity, and highlighting current trends and future opportunities.  

The active stakeholder engagement and research occurred between July–Dec 2022.
