*****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

Brand uses glass, metal & plastic for their 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.
Parent brand promises to use 100% recyclable plastic by 2025 .
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.
