****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 every day. These can take hundreds of years to break down in a landfill.

recycle material

They use Glass, Metal & Plastic for most product packaging.
We have asked them for more information 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.

Though Parent brand claims to be working towards recycling policies, we find that they are equally responsible for contaminating the planet too.
Post-consumer collection of packaging components is not available in all areas where products are sold.
In developing and third world countries all waste & plastic ends up in landfills.
