ACE OF AIR

Ace of Air is a beauty and wellness brand focused on personal and environmental health.

“Higher Standards for a Healthier Planet.
We're committed to doing everything in our power to put an end to cycles of harm and create cycles of good.
In the past, the personal care industry has often chosen profits over the planet. So the products we put in and on our bodies have become a leading source of plastic ocean waste and landfill garbage.
At Ace of Air, we innovate and advocate on everything from our packaging to our practices to create an entirely new world of wellness where our planet thrives as much as our people.
Let's aim higher together.”

Circular Packaging

Ace of Air follows a “Buy the Product, Borrow the Package” circular model. This means that once the customer has finished their product, they can purchase their refill and schedule a carbon-neutral delivery, during which they swap over their used packaging for a new item in a reused, sterilized, and beautifully designed container. This reduces the amount of plastic sent to the landfill, and of fossil fuels (from which plastic derives) being pulled out of the ground and released into the atmosphere.

We helped Ace of Air to design their primary package by means of:
- Ideation
- Form development
- Healthy material selection and assembly

We also aided in the design of their shipping “Boomerang Box” package, which:
- Is reusable
- Is made from ocean plastic
- Facilitates returns

Circular Business Model

We developed a life cycle assessment prediction for the packaging materials and take-back system, and coordinated a deep analysis that confirmed our prediction and proved the concept. The following factors were considered when evaluating the effect of the model on the environment:
- Raw materials
- Manufacturing processes
- Suppliers
- Assembly and reuse preparation
- Transportation
