Believing that everything in life must come from passion, Michele set out to create a product that was beautiful both inside and out. Beyond decorating the packaging to reflect the fragrance’s beauty, she also wanted to create a product that was truly eco-conscious.

TERRI MICHELE PAPER PACKAGING:

All of the Terri Michele Fragrances boxes are produced using paper that is approved by the Forest Stewardship Council, the leader for environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable forests. Products carrying the FSC label are independently certified to assure they come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations. Look for the FSC logo on all Terri Michele Fragrances boxes. http://www.fsc.org/about-fsc.html

TERRI MICHELE PLASTIC:

Knowing that not all areas have proper recycling facilities the Terri Michele Fragrances team searched for bottles created from post consumer regrind (PCR). We are proud to present our lotions and body washes in bottles made entirely of repurposed milk jugs, or HDPE. At 100% HDPE, these bottles contain the highest percentage of postconsumer recycled materials in the industry and are fully recyclable.

Look for the number 2 on the bottom of Terri Michele Fragrances lotion and body wash bottles.

TERRI MICHELE GLASS:

Understanding that glass can be recycled over and over again, Michele encourages you to recycle fragrance bottles. Recycling glass to make new glass requires 40% less energy than creating all new glass. Feel good about saving a bottle from a landfill and saving energy as well.

THE TERRI MICHELE OFFICE:

When choosing the materials for the company collateral, Michele opted for recycled paper for all of the business cards, stationary, and office supplies. She feels it is important to be green even in the places the customer won’t necessarily see.

Michele feels strongly that more and more people are sharing in the belief that recycling is similar to karma—what goes around comes around. She hopes that the Terri Michele Fragrances green story makes it even easier to fall in love with her beloved Shenandoah.
