Our footprint
Kind to your coils.
Kinder to the earth.
We built this brand on a simple belief: caring for your hair and caring for the planet are the same act. Here is the story of our packaging, what it saves, and where we are still going.
Why a pouch, not a bottle
Less plastic, before anything else.
A bottle does its job with a lot of plastic. Our pouch does the same job with 86% less of it. Independent lifecycle assessments of stand-up pouches versus rigid plastic bottles also found:
86%
less plastic to make than a rigid bottle
Our pouch vs. a rigid bottle
62%
lower greenhouse gas emissions
Cradle to grave
76%
less water used, start to finish
Including transport and end of life
Emissions and water figures from a cradle-to-grave lifecycle assessment of personal-care stand-cap pouches versus rigid bottle equivalents (PTIS for Glenroy, via the Flexible Packaging Association). Industry-funded study; we share it because the methodology is published and the direction is clear.
The full picture
Why less plastic wins.
Only about 9% of all plastic ever made has been recycled. So rather than promise our packaging a perfect afterlife, we started with the part we can control: making it with far less plastic in the first place.
Our pouch uses 86% less plastic to make than a rigid bottle. Less plastic made means less plastic to throw away, whatever bin it ends up in. That is the whole case for the pouch, a lighter footprint from the start.
The pouch buyback program
Bring it back.
Finished your pouch? Bring the empty back to the salon or shop where you bought it, or to any participating drop-off point, and you will get a percentage off your next Coily Company purchase.
It is our way of saying thank you for finishing the pouch and bringing it back.
Find a drop-off pointHow it works
- 1. Finish your pouch down to the last squeeze.
- 2. Bring the empty back to your salon, shop, or a participating drop-off point.
- 3. Get a percentage off your next Coily Company purchase.
Water is part of our why
Every drop counts.
Making plastic takes water, a lot of it. Because our pouches use so much less material, that same lifecycle assessment found they use 76% less water than rigid bottles, from production through transport to end of life.
Water conservation is one of our brand pillars, and it is one of the causes we give to. Choosing packaging that sips instead of gulps is how we live that value in every single order.
Gentler by design
Less plastic in the loop.
Every piece of plastic ever made still exists in some form, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces. Researchers and regulators alike treat microplastics in personal care as a legitimate concern worth acting on with precaution. Our formulas are already free of the harsh stuff, and our packaging keeps the total plastic in circulation smaller. It is one more way we choose gentle, for you and for the earth.
