Please check out our Accepted Waste Poster below for more details.

What happens to this waste

Once collected, the personal care product packaging is separated by polymer type and cleaned (if necessary). The material is then extruded into plastic pellets to make new recycled products. Click here to learn more about the recycling process.

Rewards

This programme offers 100 TerraCycle® points for each kilogram of personal care product packaging sent. However, the points will only be awarded if the parcel reaches the minimum weight of 500 grams.

For example:

200 grams = 0 TerraCycle® points
500 grams = 50 TerraCycle® points
1 kilogram = 100 TerraCycle® points

Please note that TerraCycle® points are credited to the accounts of programme members as a reward for their collection efforts. The number of points given is determined by the weight of the parcel. 1 TerraCycle® point is worth 1 penny.

Once credited, the points can be redeemed into financial donations to the charity or school chosen by the owner of the points. The points must be redeemed on the TerraCycle® website.
