Our Commitment to Sustainability

Living Lightly on the Earth

At Trevean Living, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything we do. We believe that true wellness extends beyond ourselves to the health of our Planet, and every choice we make reflects this belief.

Why It Matters

The Problem We’re Solving

The beauty and wellness industry produces over 120 billion units of packaging every year, most of which isn’t recyclable. By choosing refillable, compostable, and truly recyclable options, we’re helping to break this cycle.

Our Impact Goals

• 2025: Divert 10,000 plastic containers from landfills through refillable options
• 2026: Partner with 50+ sustainable small businesses
• 2027: Achieve carbon-neutral shipping for all orders

✓ Innovation - Companies pushing boundaries in sustainable packaging
✓ Authenticity - Genuine commitment to environmental stewardship
✓ Quality - Products that last, reducing the need for replacements
