Earn Recycling Rewards

Counters participating in the programme will earn TerraCycle points in return for the parcels of beauty, skincare and bodycare packaging they send to TerraCycle. The points will be redeemed as financial donations to the charity chosen by Clarins, which is the Greenfingers charity that supports life-limited children and their families who spend time in hospices around the UK. The more packaging recycled, the larger the donation will be!

Discover Our Recycling Process

Once collected, your beauty and skincare packaging are sorted and separated by material composition. The separated items are then cleaned, shredded, and made into new recycled products.
