Plastic Odyssey and L’Occitane en Provence

L’Occitane Supports The 1st Expedition Around The World that aims to tackle the pollution of the seas and oceans at its source: ashore.

The story of The Group and Its Brand

The Maison L’Occitane en Provence offers since 1976 a luxury range of skincare, fragrances, and wellbeing products enriched with authentic natural ingredients. Continuing to honor the Provençal art de vivre, L’Occitane en Provence draws from local traditions and craftsmanship to share more than skincare products: genuine experiences of well-being, enriching for ourselves, our relationship with others and Nature.

Today, the Maison brings Provence to life for its customers, through more than 3,000 boutiques, 100 spas, 3000 partner hotels and one brand hotel in particular, Le Couvent des Minimes Hôtel and Spa L’Occitane en Provence*****.

“Plastic Odyssey, their ambition made us dream.”

Adrien Geiger, Group Sustainability Officer

Our Objective

Ensure that by 2025, 100% of our bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic and that 100% of our stores offer a recycling service.

Their Commitments To Plastic

Reducing waste is one of Maison L’Occitane en Provence’s top priorities. When it was founded in 1976, L’Occitane en Provence boutiques already offered a deposit system for glass bottles. In 1992, the Maison launched “L’action Mistral”, a program designed to raise awareness among consumers and public authorities of the importance of recycling and the need for sorting.
Today, L’Occitane en Provence is still involved in numerous initiatives, whether carried out by its own teams or through partnerships, and has built its strategy around 3 “R ”s: Reduce, Recycle and React.

  • REDUCE, by reducing the weight of its packaging and encouraging its re-use, thanks to alternatives such as refills or bulk fountains.
  • RECYCLE, by encouraging the use of recycled materials and ensuring that, at the end of the cycle, each waste product can become a resource.
  • REACT, through partnerships with key players and innovative initiatives such as Plastic Odyssey.

Their Ambition To Support Plastic Odyssey’s Expedition

“Faced with the environmental crisis, companies can no longer be contented by the sole action of reducing their impact. They must also be a considerable force in finding concrete solutions to repair the damage caused to our environment. As Plastic Odyssey’s main sponsor, L’Occitane en Provence supports a project that aims to transform plastic waste into a valuable resource, and thus participates in the development of a new economy. That is why we are proud to be associated with Plastic Odyssey, a tremendous human and humanistic adventure.”
