*****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.

Brand uses glass, metal and plastic for most of their products 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*.

Though Parent brand claims to be working towards recycling plastic, we find that they are equally responsible for contaminating the planet too.
In developing and third world countries all waste & plastic ends up in landfills.

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.

It is also important to note that, many harmful compounds found in nail polish are toxic to the environment, which is why it must not thrown out along with your regular trash. In fact, nail polish is considered to be as hazardous waste products, similar to house paints, and car batteries when it comes to environmental degradation.
