"Consumer behaviour needs to change for sustainability: this was one of the key messages from the European and Asia-Pacific editions of the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit (www.sustainablecosmeticssummit.com).

Key message from the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit for Asia:
Although operators are implementing a raft of sustainability initiatives, consumer education and recognition of such remains low:
