No, the Kiehl's Free Recycling Programme accepts skin care plastic packaging from all brands.

Kiehl's has sponsored this national recycling programme, so there is no direct cost to you.

No, you do not need to clean the packaging before dropping it off, but please remove as much of the remaining product as possible before shipping. Public drop-off locations will not accept dripping items, so make sure your items are dry.

Earn Recycling Rewards

Stores participating in the programme will earn TerraCycle® points in return for the parcels of empty Kiehl's products and skin care plastic packaging sent to TerraCycle®. The points will be redeemed as financial donations to Hubbub, the charity chosen by Kiehl's. The more waste recycled, the larger the donation will be!

On top of that, you can get up to 10% off a Kiehl's product of your choice, or a complimentary travel size product, when you return empty Kiehl's products and skin care plastic packaging through the Kiehl's loyalty card stamp scheme.

Discover Our Recycling Process

Once collected, the plastic waste is shredded, washed and then pelletized. These pellets can be used for a number of moulded rigid plastic products like benches, or used as film for products such as rubbish bags.
