Most of our packaging is fully recyclable through your local council's recycling centres. Your recycling options depend on your local authority. The Recycle Now website is a great source of information to find out how, and where, to recycle each item.

For items that are harder to recycle locally, we're now offering an in-store recycling scheme. Recycle with us by bringing pumps, atomisers, superfood packets and empty sample sachets from any brand in-store and we'll recycle them for you.

These are usually the best ways to recycle our packaging:

⟩Glass bottles & jars:

Upcycle and reuse at home. Alternatively recycle with green bottles, in your kerbside recycling or at your local bottle bank.

⟩Plastic bottles & jars:

Recycle with plastics, usually in your kerbside recycling, or at household waste recycling centres.

⟩Aluminium tubes & containers:

Recycle with your kerbside recycling, or at household waste recycling centres.

⟩Plastic tubes:

These are made from PE and are recyclable but not all local authorities accept them yet. Check with your local authority if they can be disposed of in kerbside recycling or at collection points. Remove the lid and recycle separately.

⟩Lids & caps:

As part of our commitment to making all our packaging reusable, compostable or recyclable by 2025, we're taking steps to replace all our current black lids and caps to a version that is easier to detect at recycling plants. Our 200g jars, 15g jars, bath salts, shampoos, conditioners and shower gels are the first products to use our new lids. Made with non-carbon black pigment, the lids are more likely to be recycled when sorted with plastics. We advise customers check local recycling to determine correct sorting.

We'll be changing more of our black lids and caps used on our bottles, tubes and jars over the next year, in the meantime we suggest that customers check with their local authority where these can be recycled.

⟩Pumps & atomisers:

Pumps and atomisers are made from plastic and metal which makes them hard to recycle. You can bring your used pumps and atomisers, from any brand, into store and we'll recycle them for you.

⟩Superfood & facial wipe packets:

Facial wipe packets are made from a plastic, PET/PE laminate, and Superfood pouches are PET/AL/LDPE laminate, neither of which are commonly recyclable in local schemes. Please bring your empty Facial Wipe packets and Superfood pouches into store, and we'll recycle them for you.

⟩Labels:

Peel off the bottle or jar, double over and recycle with plastics.

⟩Cartons, corrugated card & paper:

Recycle in your kerbside recycling, or at household waste recycling centres.

⟩Cotton/natural fibres:

Wash and reuse. They are naturally biodegradable, however, for us to make claims around composting, they would need to be tested to meet specific standards. Cotton can be added to textile recycling collection points - simply dry out first.

⟩Dried herb bags:

We will have finished moving to a new eco-friendly Natureflex™ film for our clear herb bags by March 2019. This renewable, plant-sourced bag is made from PEFC/FSC® certified wood pulp and meets both industrial and home composting standards. It is also suitable for anaerobic digestion (food waste recycling). Remove stickers first.

⟩Electronic Diffusers:

Electronic waste needs to be separated from other waste to be recycled properly, and we are required by the Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive to provide this service. Electrical equipment is a large source of waste, and if not properly recycled can have damaging effects on the environment and human health, whereas if it is recycled the resources can be used again.
