“At the end of the day, we’ve got one planet that we all call home, and collectively, we need to do a better job working in harmony with nature. We owe it to our children.”

This will involve the conversion of all packaging components to be made with recyclable, reusable, compostable, or recycled materials. To assist with this mission, Isagenix has partnered with a certified carbon-neutral manufacturing facility that’s helping to produce the brand’s Collagen Elixir™. Through its green-minded packaging focus, Isagenix has already seen key successes. According to the company, 75% of its packaging components are sustainable, meaning the components meet at least one of its sustainable packaging criteria: recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable; two products are zero-waste (the Whole Blend IsaLean® Shake and Collagen Elixir); and, as of this year, Isagenix has started transitioning to 100% biodegradable fiber scoops in its Whole Blend Shakes in all markets. In addition to packaging changes, the brand’s sustainability focus includes prioritizing sustainable shipping practices, ethical sourcing, expansion of its plant-based products, and green efforts at its corporate headquarters in Gilbert. For example, in 2020, Isagenix began using cardboard trays instead of boxes when moving shake canisters from third-party manufacturers to distribution centers. This move has reportedly saved 1 million square feet in cardboard. At its headquarters, Isagenix installed solar panels on its parking structures, providing enough clean energy to power 25% of its building. “At the end of the day, we’ve got one planet that we all call home, and collectively, we need to do a better job working in harmony with nature. We owe it to our children,” Coover says. Visit www.isagenix.com for more information.
