How to Properly Recycle Your Products

How to properly recycle your makeup & skin care products

Help us end beauty packaging waste.

The beauty industry generates an estimated 120 billion beauty packages annually, most of which are not recycled. Instead, they often end up as pollution in the environment or in landfills. The system is broken, but Pact, the nonprofit organization cofounded by Credo is out to change this. Pact offers its members education, sustainability tools, and a hard-to-recycle program via Pact Collection Bins. You can now find Pact Bins in all Credo stores, and dozens of other locations in the U.S. and Canada. 

What's the best way to actually recycle your beauty empties?

1. EMPTY + CLEAN + UNBAGGED

2. PICK THE RIGHT BIN

3. BRING YOUR EMPTIES / SHIP YOUR EMPTIES

Find your Pact collection bin: 1 Product Recycled = 10 Credo Rewards Points (12 items max per store visit). Find your local Credo store here.

Mail back your empties: Not near a Credo Store? Mail back your beauty empties with Pact.
