Everyday packaging accounts for approximately 1/3 of all landfill waste. Most
community recyclers only take items made from materials that are easily
recognized - such as soda and water bottles.
Cosmetic and toiletry bottles, tubes, caps and jars among those items not easily
recognized and therefore not often recycled
Starting March 29, 2009, bring your empty cosmetic tubes, bottles and jars, etc.
- regardless of brand - to your nearest Origins retail store or department store
counter nationwide.* All returned packaging will be sent back to a central
location where products will be recycled or used for energy recovery.
In an industry first, Origins will accept packaging from any cosmetic company
regardless of the manufacturer. We believe that the more we collect from
consumers, the more we can keep cosmetic packaging out of landfills. And we hope
this program will encourage other companies into following our example.
To thank you for joining us in our commitment to the environment, we'll treat
you to a FREE sample of your choice of one of Origins high-performance skincare
products.
