At IGEN we see it as an obligation to reduce waste associated with our packaging. Our goal is to minimize our impact when we pack orders, and at the same time we encourage our customers to reuse our packaging when returning it. Our choice of packaging is therefore carefully chosen, following a Zero Waste approach. This means that we generally avoid all unnecessary packaging and always strive to choose packaging that has the best potential for recycling.

That's why we often integrate the packaging of our products into the design process. This means that our product packaging is either designed to be recycled, such as our reusable multi-bag that serves as a wrapper for our makeup pads, or our packaging is designed for easy recycling or to be sorted as waste. This is the case for our scented candle boxes, which are made from recycled FSC-certified paper and without the use of glue, making them ready for recycling.

While we seek to avoid unnecessary packaging, we recognize that certain products require special protection during shipping, such as our glass products, to ensure they are not damaged during transit.
