Beauty doesn’t have to end when the jar is empty. We’ve partnered with Pact Collective to offer a thoughtful, earth-aligned way to recycle and process your beauty empties. Now, you have the option of mailing-in your clean empties or dropping them at a convenient location near you.

Pact is a nonprofit collective taking responsibility for our industry’s waste.
The beauty and wellness industry generates over 120 billion packages each year. And because of how they’re designed, only a fraction actually get recycled.
Pact is made up of members across the industry who are working collaboratively towards circular solutions.
Here’s what happens to the empties:
Mechanical Recycling
Upcycling the material into another product or downcycling into a lower-value item.
Molecular Recyling
Breaking down plastics into their original building blocks, allowing it to be rebuilt into a new material.
Waste-to-energy
Packaging that cannot be used in any other way is incinerated to generate energy or fuel.
