Marco explains plastic zero goal

Hello my name is Marco Marzocchi and in 2017 I founded the brand The Inglorious Mariner. I have been formulating and producing cosmetics for over 20 years and in my little free time I try to devote as much space as possible to my family, especially to my two children.

I practice many sports including skiing and surfing. I have always been passionate about beards and shaving products and I wanted to create a brand dedicated exclusively to the male world that had products with extremely natural formulas but at the same time effective and performing, products that create real benefits for the user.

Thus was born the idea of this irreverent mark represented by a skull and parchment with the words The Inglorious Mariner.

In 2018 the meeting with the crew, with Cristian, Francesco, Alessandro and Andrea takes place. Together with them was born  ZERO PLASTIC GOAL, the project that wants to drastically limit the use of plastic within our production lines of cosmetics. That’s why we have replaced all our bottles, jars and plastic packaging with 100% recyclable or biodegradable materials such as glass and aluminium.

We knew from the beginning that zero plastic would not be an easy project. We have been dealing for months with manufacturers and importers of packaging trying to replace the classic plastic packaging with containers that were recyclable and biodegradable and it was not easy at all. We still fight daily to find alternative solutions to closures, dosing and pumps that are currently on the market only in plastic.

It was certainly an arduous challenge, but it has brought great benefits to all of us on the crew and our families both professionally and emotionally. We feel so much better having shared this great project and ask you to share zero plastic goal and help us save the sea.
