What’s more, this product exemplifies Evolve’s commitment to the planet. Embrace the feel-good factor of knowing that this environmentally friendly gem is packaged in ‘green plastic,’ derived from sugar cane bagasse – a waste product of the sugar industry that actually absorbs more carbon than it generates during production.
