Talking trash: How to recycle your empty skincare and body care containers
So you’ve used up all of your favorite Waterbody skincare product, now what? Don’t just toss it in the trash!
We know you care deeply about the environmental impacts of the products you use – from how they’re created to how they’re packaged. That’s why every single element of our product packaging has been thought through to allow for re-use, recycling, and even composting.
We humans send A LOT of garbage into landfills, where it piles on and creates all sorts of environmental problems polluting air, water, and land. Waterbody is committed to bringing you sustainable, natural body care that is both kind to your body and kind to the Earth.
Here are some tips for recycling your spent skincare and body care containers:
- Wash your empty container with warm soapy water
- Remove the label if possible – let your jar or bottle soak in that warm water for a few minutes to loosen the adhesive
- Consider creative ways you might re-use the container in your home – a jar to hold cotton swabs, thumb tacks, or rubber bands?
- Check with your local recycling program to brush up on which glasses, plastics, and cardboards they’ll accept.
