recycle material

Brand uses glass, metal & plastic for most of their product packaging.
We have asked them for further clarity on their recycling policies and plastic content
Though Estée Lauder Companies have a goal that 75-100% of their packaging will be recyclable, refillable, reusable, recycled or recoverable by 2025. We have yet to see this.

It should be noted, that most makeup plastics are difficult to recycle.
So it is always good when brands accept back their empties for sterilizing and recycling and when they offer refills.

Bobbi Brown is not cruelty free.
