TerraCycle, a range of "Zero Waste Boxes" to transform cosmetic waste

Description

TerraCycle is an innovative company in the fight against waste, offering recycling solutions for waste considered "difficult to recycle". For beauty professionals, TerraCycle has created a range of 'Zero Waste Boxes' to transform cosmetic waste into a new raw material used in the manufacture of new objects, thereby limiting the need to extract oil to create new virgin plastic. This solution will prevent non-recycled waste from being sent to landfill sites where it remains for years, taking up huge amounts of space and sometimes releasing chemicals that are dangerous for the environment, or from being incinerated, producing dangerous gases. In the worst case, this waste can also end up in oceans and rivers, adding to the problem of environmental pollution. Not all cosmetics can be 'traditionally' recycled: sorting instructions can vary depending on the département or commune, and not all products accepted in the recycling bin can be recycled, often for economic reasons. This is often the case for products made of several materials, such as make-up products. The Zero-Waste Box not only helps to reduce the environmental footprint of your business, it also raises employee awareness of the issue of plastic pollution and offers customers a recycling solution to improve their patronage and customer loyalty.
