Following PepsiCo’s reveal last week at the Expo 2020 with Aquafina’s latest aluminum cans and glass bottles,  Cosmo ME’s team felt inspired to follow in their sustainable footsteps. Choosing to become more sustainable can always start with small steps before making bigger changes, after all, even the smallest of sustainable acts can still make a difference. 

Take our word for it. 

Here are 5 ways that Cosmo ME’s team are being more sustainable…

Drinking water from Aquafina’s new recyclable aluminum cans 

Not only can you drink refreshing non-carbonated water sustainably, but PepsiCo has also announced that as Expo 2020 Dubai’s Official Beverage and Snack Partner, it will work closely with Dulsco – Expo’s Waste Management partner to ensure waste from PepsiCo’s products is collected and recycled.

Using reusable bags 

According to SPREP.org, ‘you could drive a car a mile for the same amount of gasoline it takes to manufacture 14 plastic bags.’ So, the next time you’re going grocery shopping, why not rethink grabbing that plastic bag, and opting for a reusable one instead.

Recycling (which you can do with Aquafina’s new cans FYI)

Aquafina’s aluminum cans and glass bottles can be recycled. Earlier this year, PepsiCo committed to collecting and recycling the equivalent of 100% of Aquafina plastic packaging produced in the UAE in 2021!

Shopping sustainable beauty

This point is one of our faves. Turn your everyday beauty routine into a *sustainable* beauty routine, it makes the world of a difference (for your skin, and the planet!) Brands like Eyecha, Orgaid and Tata Harper are a great place to start.

Using eco-friendly cutlery 

From reusable straws to eco-cutlery, you can even make a difference by changing up the utensils you use when you’re eating and drinking.
