“At Mary Kay, we feel that pink is the new green,” said Keith Learn, VP of Procurement and Supplier Development at Mary Kay. “Together with SPICE and other industry leaders, Mary Kay is firmly committed to building a future that’s healthier, greener, and more sustainable for generations to come.”
Co-founded by L’Oréal and Quantis in 2018, SPICE will develop and publish business-oriented methodologies and data to support resilient decision making to improve the environmental performance of the entire packaging value chain. These developments will be the result of collective working sessions where members will share experience and knowledge for the benefit of the initiative and eventually to cosmetics packaging sustainability achievements on a grand scale.
Joining SPICE is just the latest in a series of steps Mary Kay has taken to continue its commitment to sustainability. In 2018, the company opened the Richard R. Rogers Manufacturing/R&D Center in Lewisville, Texas, which functions as a Zero Waste to Landfill facility and was awarded the coveted LEED Silver certification. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). LEED certification is awarded to projects that are designed, constructed, maintained and operated using healthy, highly-efficient and sustainable practices. That marked the second Mary Kay location to receive LEED certification. In 2017, the Mary Kay China office in Shanghai received LEED Gold certification for its green building leadership and excellence in sustainability.

Rapid Medical™ Completes Enrollment in DISTALS Trial Evaluating TIGERTRIEVER 13™ for Distal Vessel Occlusions9.12.2025 16:47:00 CET | Press release
The milestone reflects growing evidence for distal-specific thrombectomy solutions and is reinforced by interim findings that confirmed no safety concerns with TIGERTRIEVER 13. Rapid Medical™, a leading developer of active endovascular devices, announces the completion of patient enrollment in the DISTALS Trial, a multicenter randomized study assessing the TIGERTRIEVER 13™ device in patients with distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVO) in acute ischemic stroke. “DMVO strokes represent up to 40% of ischemic strokes and can cause significant disability, yet their treatment has remained uncertain. Recent neutral results from ESCAPE-MEVO and DISTAL made one thing clear: distal thrombectomy requires devices and trials specifically engineered for distal vessels,” said Dr. Jeffrey Saver of UCLA in California, Principal Investigator of DISTALS. “TIGER 13 and DISTALS bring that dedicated design. Completing enrollment is a major step toward evidence that can truly advance care for these patients.
