Schwarzkopf Cares Hair Care & Colour Recycling Programme

This programme has strict shipping guidelines due to the transportation of hair dye. Please read through this check list before shipping your waste. 

1. Remove excess hair dye - Excess hair dye must be emptied and disposed of in your general waste bin.
2. Triple rinse containers - All hair dye bottles and tubs (both liquid and powder) must be triple rinsed.
3. Empty tubes - All hair dye tubes must have residual dye squeezed out.

Any brand of used hair care & colour packaging.

NOTE: Hair aerosols can be recycled through the Schwarzkopf Cares Hair Aerosol Recycling Programme.

The programme does not accept:

• Packaging still containing product
• Hair styling tools like brushes and combs
• Hair Aerosols

Outer cardboard packaging can be recycled with your local council, so please don’t include this in your shipment to TerraCycle.

For hair care waste you do not need to wash your products or packaging, however we do ask that they are completely dry before sending to TerraCycle.

For hair colour please read through this checklist before shipping your waste. 

1. Remove excess hair dye - Excess hair dye must be emptied and disposed of in your general waste bin.
2. Triple rinse containers - All hair dye bottles and tubs (both liquid and powder) must be triple rinsed.
3. Empty tubes - All hair dye tubes must have residual dye squeezed out

Schwarzkopf sponsors this national recycling programme making it free for you to participate.

We encourage you to ship when your box is full of rubbish to minimise the footprint of this programme. New Zealand Post will not accept dripping packages, so please make sure your items are dry.
