EMPTY RECYCLE SCHEMES -BEAUTY & COSMETICS


Recycle your empties. If you still don't do this - START NOW!

Our wastes are a huge NEGATIVE impact on the natural environment. We are actually very lucky to have lots of recycling system around us now compared a few years back. Many brands have started using re-usable packaging to help with the waste system and contribute towards saving our natural environment a little more. I have collected some places which recycle your everyday products, especially beauty and cosmetics.


There are many places that recycle beauty and cosmetic packaging. Please check all brands online and in-store for more details. Some places reward you from your returns 👍

TerraCycle

TerraCycle is Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by recycling the "non-recyclable." Whether it's coffee capsules from your home, pens from a school, or plastic gloves from a manufacturing facility, TerraCycle can collect and recycle almost any form of waste. We partner with individual collectors such as yourself, as well as major consumer product companies, retailers, manufacturers, municipalities, and small businesses across 20 different countries. With your help, we are able to divert millions of pounds of waste from landfills and incinerators each month.
