Sustainability

What is 1% for the Planet?

1% for the Planet is a global movement. A pretty cool one, if you ask us. Over 1200 member companies in 48 countries donate 1% of their annual sales to global sustainability initiatives and we’re stoked to be a part of it. In just over 10 years 1% for the Planet companies have given more than $100 million back to the planet.

Is your packaging biodegradable?

Eco-friendly packaging is something we strive towards – but we do have a long way to go. Some things we do already towards contributing for a safer environment are - we steer clear of non-recyclable packaging materials like SAN, ABS, PVC (we use PET, PP and HDPE) & we try to minimize the use of excess packaging in our inner packs and shippers. Also, we do have a recycling initiative called #Return2Good where we encourage our customers to return their empty Phy bottles in return for shopping credits.

How can I recycle my Phy empties?

You can recycle your Phy empties under our #Return2Good initiative, where we collect the empties from you, recycle it and also give you shopping credits. As soon as your product is all used up, write to us at hi@thephylife.com or call us at  +91-9930-133-511 to request for a free-pickup. Each empty that you send our way earns you Rs. 50 in shopping credits that you can use on your next purchase.
