We understand how overwhelming recycling at home can be, especially when it comes to beauty products & packaging. So we've written some easy tips you can follow to help streamline the process.
Ways to improve at home recycling:
- Remove all lids, pumps and spray tops prior to recycling. (Lids/tops should be thrown in the garbage.)
- Ensure all containers are thoroughly rinsed and dried (shake out excess water) prior to recycling.
Ways to reduce:
-
Make a conscious effort to buy from brands that use eco friendly packaging. Like many of the brands we carry here at Spruce!
- Eco friendly packaging includes: glass, aluminum, recycled plastic, bamboo, etc.
- Seek out brands who utilize refill packs or partner with 'refilleries'.
-
Adopt a minimalist approach to skincare. Avoid over consuming via social media trends and stick to products your skin needs and loves!
- If you're unsure about your skincare routine, book a consultation (offered both in-store and virtual) with any of our knowledgeable estheticians!
Ways to reuse:
- Use empty serum containers as travel size bottles.
- Face masque jars can double as hair gel containers.
- Fill old toner bottles with plant food and/or water for plants.
Recycling beauty packaging doesn't have to be perfect, but making small efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle your products, can ultimately make an impact on your overall footprint.🌱
