Customers can't stop talking about Primark's new sustainable alternative that has replaced one of its staple beauty products. The retailer has been making efforts to become more environmentally friendly and shed its fast fashion image, through initiatives such as the Sustainable Cotton Program and Wornwell vintage clothing concessions. And this week, they have taken another step towards sustainability by phasing out single-use cotton pads from their UK stores.
As part of their Primark Cares initiative, the retailer is committed to "nurturing nature, halving carbon emissions, and eliminating waste." So it only makes sense for these disposable cotton pads to be taken off the shelves. A spokesperson for Primark shared with The Sun that they are "delighted" to announce the removal of single-use cotton pads and are encouraging customers to switch to their reusable options.
But don't worry, as one door closes, another one opens. Primark's customers on Instagram are raving about their new reusable cotton pad line. Reviews from happy customers include calling the product "soooo good" and "amazing." Even a beautician was impressed enough to buy them for her facial clients. The pads come in various sizes and packs, with prices starting from £2.00.
And that's not the only change happening at Primark. The company is investing £100 million in renovating their stores in Oxford Street, Hackney, and Hounslow. Customers may also have noticed the blue "sold" stickers on their shopping bags, as part of a new trial to combat shoplifting. A Primark spokesperson shared that they are working with other retailers and organizations to address the rising issue of retail crime.
If you have a story to share, you can get in touch with Primark by emailing them. And for those looking for a last-minute bargain holiday, the cheapest region to visit is revealed. Plus, another budget store is giving Primark a run for its money with affordable homeware for just 75p. But not everyone is happy with Primark's changes, as some shoppers have expressed their outrage over a £100 price tag spotted in stores.
