Alibaba launches sustainable packaging campaign with Shiseido

They offered products in refillable containers as rewards.

Japan-based beauty brand Shiseido has launched a marketing campaign with Alibaba to promote refillable and reusable packaging in beauty products, the e-commerce giant said in a press release.

Alibaba said consumers can leverage their points in its platform’s carbon ledger platform, earned by low-carbon behavior, to redeem beauty products in refillable formats from Shiseido’s Chinese stores. Ten gift sets have been made available for consumers daily from November 15 to 24.

The campaign is part of the duo’s efforts to build consumer awareness of low-carbon lifestyles. Shiseido China is one of the 19 consumer goods companies partnering with Alibaba to issue guidance on green consumption, the company said.

Shiseido China expressed plans to offer refillable options for over 150 beauty products by 2023 and is working with agencies to draft industry-wide standards for refillable design.
