*****zoobop recommends using eco-friendly masks instead of single sheet masks.
There is not enough data on waste from single use sheet masks yet but numbers can be similar to that of single use make up wipes that are thrown away by the millions everyday.
These can take hundreds of years to break down in a landfill.

recycle material

Brand uses glass, metal & plastics for most product packaging.
We have asked them for further clarity on their recycling policies and plastic content.
We are unclear on the recycle policy / decompose time of their single use sheet masks - we have asked the brand for more clarity on 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.
