Best practices for recycling
Please ensure your packaging is empty and does not contain any excess product before sending it to us for recycling.
What happens to the waste
Once collected, the skincare product packaging is sorted, cleaned and melted into pellets that can be remoulded to make new recycled products. Click here for more information about our recycling process.
