Who knew you could get into trouble over a toothpaste tube?

In this episode, Lorraine Dallmeier, a Chartered Environmentalist, Biologist, and CEO of Formula Botanica, dives deep into sustainability claims by exploring the details of the class action lawsuit faced by toothpaste brand Tom's of Maine... all because they said their toothpaste tubes were recyclable.

The crux of the lawsuit points out the gap between what is, in theory, recyclable and the realities of the recycling industry.

The problem arises with the terms Tom’s of Maine uses on its packaging. They call it “Recyclable Tube” and “First of Its Kind Recyclable Tube.” In reality, the recycling infrastructure in most areas cannot handle these tubes.

Lorraine discusses the implications this has for the beauty industry. It could pave the way for more legal actions against brands making sustainability claims they can’t prove. Perhaps it will prompt a shift towards more honest and transparent marketing practices.
