Knowing that you can recycle beauty products is one thing, but knowing how to do it, is another.
The beauty industry, for years, has had a major waste and pollution problem. Cruelty-free, vegan, and organic products have stocked up aisles as solutions for the industry's unsustainability. Still, recycling always ends up off the list when addressing environmental damage.in 2022 that of the 40 million tons of plastic produced in the United States, only 5% was recycled. These numbers are worrisome, especially when 36% of that plastic is used for packaging, 85% of which ends up in landfills.
The truth is that few people know beauty products are to be recycled, and even fewer know how to do it correctly. The blame is not entirely on them either. If you were to look at the back of a plastic product, you would see a couple of tiny hieroglyphics that seem unimportant. However, those "hieroglyphics" are codes for how to recycle a product and what the packaging is made of, so you know where to toss it when you get to your recycling center.
