By purchasing a refill you are reducing your impact by:
We think endlessly producing new things instead of using what we have makes zero sense. Why would we extract new things from the ground, use more energy, more water and produce more carbon, when we can use the valuable materials we already have. It also makes zero sense to recycle* things after a single use (using more energy and omitting more carbon) when they are strong enough to last many uses! Sounds silly doesn’t it? We agree. It’s time to go circular. Let’s keep our precious resources in circulation and lower our impact together.
Disclaimer - Did you know that even your ‘100% recyclable’ beauty packaging isn’t being recycled through your kerbside collection? Despite being technically recyclable, the economics don’t stack up, so to landfill it goes. This is why we take responsibility for all our packaging and partner with specialised recyclers as part of our Beauty Circle initiative.
