Brand uses glass & plastic for most of their product packaging.
We have asked them for further clarity 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.

It is 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.
