I have used and enjoyed Herbalife products for many years (around 15 years). Recently I have been pressing them for an answer (and alternatives) on the high reliance of single-use plastic for their packaging. My garage is full of hundreds of empty plastic bottles and cartons from their products and although I try to recycle them myself, there are only so many uses I can find for them. I have been asking my distributor over the last year what their plans are for reducing plastic waste and replacing these plastic bottles with something recyclable. I was told repeatedly that a policy change was imminent. Having pressed them again this week, I was fobbed off once more and told instead that Herbalife is planning to be net carbon zero by 2050. This is just not fast enough and not good enough. And no mention of replacing the plastic bottles with recyclable packaging. Although I have enjoyed their products I have decided never to use them again (or until they change policy). It's a shame because they claim to be doing good for the world through distribution of health food. Unfortunately they are ignoring the damage being done to wildlife and marine life through plastic pollution. I'm really disappointed as I thought this company was better than this. The only thing we can do as consumers is to stop buying from companies who are damaging our planet and to call them out on social media. Take note top management at Herbalife, it's never too late to make changes for the better.
