Products with care, for care

Topbrands by B&S offers quality personal and home care products to customers around the world, with a portfolio ranging from A-Brands to own brands. The Topbrands private labels such as Sence and At Home are always evolving – for the benefit of our customers, consumers, and the planet! With environmentally friendly packaging, plastic-free products and natural formulas. The same goes for products we make under licences such as Disney. In the process, we’re realising our ambition to expand our range of sustainable and responsibly produced products.

Packaging too plays an important role in being resource conscious. By optimising packaging solutions, making boxes as small as possible, less materials are used, and more products can be loaded into a single container avoiding unnecessary transport emissions. Topbrands replaced virgin with recycled plastics as well as removed sleeves from bottles, making them suitable for recycling. And refills for cleaning products are now available in powder form, which can be packaged sustainably, are easy to transport, and allow consumers to reuse their plastic spray bottles.

Angelique: “We also replaced plastic with FSC certified paper and cardboard, so that the packaging can be easier recycled after use. And, we chose to leave out non-recyclable decorations like bows and ribbons whilst still having appealable designs.” In total, Topbrands removed plastic components from 2 million packaging items saving 8,000 kilos of plastic annually. The upgraded packaging is key to achieving our 2030 sustainability targets. It’s also the way the market is going as more and more retailers have sustainability goals similar to ours.
