Cocoon vegan cosmetics act positively for the environment
“Wave” of environmental love from the program “Recovering old batteries – Protecting the green earth”
Referring to Cocoon, consumers are not only impressed with vegan beauty products, but the brand also scores with projects related to animal conservation and environmental protection. Following the reception of customers for the program “Exchange old bottles – receive new products” (in April 2021), Cocoon continues to announce and implement the activity “Recalling old batteries – Protecting the green earth” ” with the companionship of Ho Chi Minh City University of Pedagogy. The program started in early May 2022 with 85 battery recovery locations across the city. The battery collection boxes are located at schools such as: SP University, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Le Hong Phong School… Districts: District 3, District 5, District 10… or at cosmetic systems such as: Glam Beauty , Hasaki, Watson, Guardian, Beauty Box…

It is known that this is the second time that Cocoon has accompanied Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Ho Chi Minh City deploys projects towards the environment. Sharing about the reason why the two sides decided to implement this activity, Assoc. Dr. Tong Xuan Tam, Dean of Biology Department of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education said: “Battery is an energy storage tool containing heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic… they are all are extremely toxic substances, dangerous to the brain, kidneys, heart and fertility of humans.If not classified and destroyed properly, they will become a hazard to the environment and human health. Therefore, batteries cannot be thrown in the trash together with other types of waste, but need to be collected and treated separately.”
For that purpose, the program was quickly shared widely with many “green points” of battery collectors that showed signs of overflowing. “I know old batteries are very harmful to the environment, but apart from accumulation, I don’t know how to dispose of them. This battery recall program is very timely, I feel secure when I hand over the batteries to them for disposal. I mobilized more friends and relatives to participate because almost everyone is using batteries and I hope the program will last for a long time.” – Nguyen Thanh Huong (office worker) shared at the Glam Beauty battery recall point (Aeon Tan Phu).
