PACKAGING DISPOSAL GUIDELINES
Disclaimer
We work to provide our customers with accurate guidelines on packaging recyclability, however, please ensure that your city or municipal programme is consulted before recycling an item.
Before Recycling
Empty the contents of the container. Remove the cap, lid, dropper, pump and other components and rinse the bottle/jar with water.
Packaging items with adhesive-based labels
Contact your local recycling facility to ensure recyclability via curb-side recycling programme.
Why we changed our cream packaging
Benefits of airless packaging:
No inflow of external air prevents the ingredients from oxidising, ensuring more potent formulations. Airless packaging allows for optimum formula protection, longer shelf stability and complete product use (no product is wasted/left in the contrainer).
PP Packaging:
PP is a thermoplastic polymer plastic and carries amongst the lowest environmental impact of any synthetic or traditional material. It also provides increased packaging durability - meaning less breakage during transport/use.
Advantages of using PP:
-
✓ It takes fewer natural resources to produce and uses less energy than creating paper, cotton, canvas and jute bags.
-
✓ It generates fewer waste products in production and disposal.
-
✓ It is widely recycled.
-
✓ It has low carbon footprint and transmits the lowest carbon dioxide emissions compared to other plastics.
-
✓ When burned, it does not generate toxic gasses, like chlorine from PVC plastics.
