recycle material

Brand uses plastic, glass, and metal packaging for most of their products.
We have asked them for more information on the Plastic content.

Though Parent brand claims to be working towards recycling policies, 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.

Urban Decay is cruelty free.
