recycle material

Brand uses glass, tin, metal & plastic for their product packaging.
We have asked them for more information on their recycling policies and plastic content.

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 plastic, 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.
