Boavista Circular

Transforming Waste Beautifully

Boavis­ta Cir­cu­lar, foun­ded in 2021 in Ams­ter­dam, cre­ates cle­aning pro­duc­ts with a pur­po­se by tran­sfor­ming was­te into valu­able reso­ur­ces. Ins­pi­red by foun­der Fla­via Cor­ren­te’s chil­d­ho­od in Joinvil­le, Bra­zil, whe­re reuse and repa­ir were a way of life, the brand is built on a micro-cir­cu­lar phi­lo­sop­hy. Each pro­duct bre­at­hes new life into mate­ri­als that would have otherwi­se been dis­car­ded, embodying the­ir beli­ef that ​“was­te is only was­te when it is was­ted.” Boavis­ta­cir­cu­lar stan­ds out for its com­mit­ment to mini­mal envi­ron­men­tal impact.

NOTE: Ple­ase take into con­si­de­ra­ti­on that cosme­tic ingre­di­ents sus­ta­ina­bi­lity prac­ti­ces are not as tran­s­pa­rent and regu­la­ted in the indus­try as gar­ment materials.

This brand was inclu­ded on COSH! than­ks to a paid con­tri­bu­ti­on of one of the shops below.

In San­ta Cata­ri­na, Bra­zil, the brand part­ners with a gro­up of women arti­sans to pro­du­ce Oce­an Saver Scrub­bers.

Pac­ka­ging

Boavis­ta Cir­cu­lar employs cir­cu­lar pac­ka­ging:

  • Glass jars and bot­tles are recy­cled, with lids self-pain­ted for reuse.
  • Car­d­bo­ard boxes from sup­pli­ers or dona­ti­ons are reused and upcy­cled, eli­mi­na­ting addi­ti­onal waste.
  • Paper tape is used ins­te­ad of plas­tic alter­na­ti­ves, alig­ning with the brand’s sus­ta­ina­ble ethos.

Water usa­ge

The use of orga­nic-cer­ti­fi­ed ingre­di­ents limits water pol­lu­ti­on in pro­duc­ti­on pro­ce­sses. Besi­des that, mini­mal water is used as in ingre­di­ent wit­hin the soaps.

NOTE: Water usage/​pollution down to the raw mate­ri­als is gene­ral­ly impo­ssi­ble to track for cosme­tic products.

Cir­cu­lar pac­ka­ging design and busi­ness model

Boavis­ta Cir­cu­lar cham­pi­ons a cir­cu­lar busi­ness model, tran­sfor­ming was­te into fun­c­ti­onal pro­duc­ts. The­ir cle­aning soaps are craf­ted from repur­po­sed cooking oil, and cus­to­mers are enco­ura­ged to send the­ir used oil to the brand to pre­vent envi­ron­men­tal pollution.

The bam­boo cle­aning brush featu­res a repla­ce­able head, ena­bling easy com­pos­ting and mini­mi­sing was­te. Whi­le the spon­ge made from recla­imed fishing nets is not biode­gra­da­ble, it las­ts up to two years, sig­ni­fi­can­tly redu­cing the need for frequ­ent repla­ce­ments com­pa­red to conven­ti­onal spon­ges. It also keeps was­te out of lan­d­fil­ls or from pol­lu­ting the oceans.

The brand also pro­vi­des refill soap bars, pro­mo­ting reusa­bi­lity and was­te reduc­ti­on. All soaps are 100% biode­gra­da­ble, fur­t­her rein­for­cing the­ir com­mit­ment to eco-fri­end­ly practices.

Dis­tan­ce & com­plexity of the sup­ply chain

  • Pro­duc­ti­on loca­ti­ons: Ams­ter­dam, Bra­zil, Vietnam
  • HQ is loca­ted in Ams­ter­dam
  • The brand sells/​exports in the­se coun­tri­es: Glo­bal­ly
  • Sour­cing – unsu­re of exact ori­gins, but we know it can go as far as India and Nepal for the soap nuts

Tran­s­por­ta­ti­on

  • The brand owner pic­ks up dona­ti­ons and pro­duc­ts local­ly for the soaps, as for inter­na­ti­onal ship­ping high emi­ssi­ons are unavoidable.

The brand does not use any ani­mal pro­duc­ts. Boavis­ta Circular’s soaps are pri­ma­rily made from repur­po­sed cooking oil, which is deri­ved from vege­ta­bles and nuts. Howe­ver, the brand can­not guaran­tee that the oil has not been in con­tact with ani­mal pro­duc­ts due to its pre­vi­ous use. As such, the soaps can­not be cla­ssi­fi­ed as vegan, tho­ugh the­ir inten­ti­on is to end the was­te cycle and pre­vent envi­ron­men­tal pollution.

Pro­duct design

Boavis­ta Cir­cu­lar desig­ns mini­ma­list pro­duc­ts that cater to all house­hol­ds, focu­sing on fun­c­ti­ona­lity rat­her than tren­ds or seaso­nal col­lec­ti­ons. With no sales peri­ods or tra­di­ti­onal col­lec­ti­ons, the brand main­ta­ins a com­mit­ment to mini­mal pro­duc­ti­on, redu­cing was­te and overproduction.

The brand pro­vi­des deta­iled care tips for all pro­duc­ts, ensu­ring they last lon­ger and per­form effec­ti­vely. Cus­to­mers can also reach out via ema­il for assis­tan­ce with pro­duct infor­ma­ti­on, care, or oil dis­po­sal, reflec­ting a high level of cus­to­mer sup­port and engagement.

Tran­s­pa­ren­cy on product

Boavis­ta Cir­cu­lar demons­tra­tes excep­ti­onal tran­s­pa­ren­cy across its pro­duc­ts and pro­ce­sses. Each pro­duct page cle­ar­ly deta­ils the ingre­di­ents, mate­ri­als, and pro­duc­ti­on loca­ti­ons, ensu­ring full tra­ce­abi­lity. Cus­to­mers can easily know whe­re the­ir spe­ci­fic pur­c­ha­se was produced.

Tran­s­pa­ren­cy on processes

The brand also pro­vi­des vide­os showca­sing the pro­duc­ti­on pro­cess, offe­ring a behind-the-sce­nes look at how the­ir pro­duc­ts are made. This level of tran­s­pa­ren­cy rein­for­ces trust and showca­ses the­ir com­mit­ment to ethi­cal and sus­ta­ina­ble practices.

Zaključak

The­ir com­mit­ment to tran­s­pa­ren­cy, com­mu­nity empower­ment, and repur­po­sing was­te mate­ri­als makes them a stan­do­ut cho­ice for con­s­ci­ous con­su­mers.
