What happens to this waste
Once collected, your used hand wash pumps and refill pouches are separated by polymer type and cleaned (if necessary). The material is then extruded into plastic pellets to make new recycled products.

Rewards
This programme offers 100 TerraCycle® points for each kilogram of hand wash pumps and refill pouches sent. However, the points will only be awarded if the parcel reaches the minimum weight of 1 kilogram.
For example:
500 grams = 0 TerraCycle® points
1 kilogram = 100 TerraCycle® points
2 kilograms = 200 TerraCycle® points
Please note that TerraCycle® points are credited to the accounts of public drop-off location administrators and private collectors 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.
