Cosmetic Recycling Program

At Close the Loop, we are proud to collaborate with some of the world’s leading cosmetics brands.

For over a decade, we’ve worked with these forward-thinking companies to create innovative recycling solutions that divert beauty packaging waste from landfill. Together, we are transforming the beauty industry’s approach to sustainability, one product at a time.

How We Collect: Through partnerships with brands & programs, everyday consumers can drop off their empty beauty products at participating cosmetic retailers.

These items are then transported to Close the Loop’s advanced recycling facility. Packaging that can be recycled is shredded or crushed and resupplied into the materials chain for reuse in new products—closing the loop. Items that cannot be recycled are converted into energy. Nothing ends up in landfill.

Collection Points:
Our brand partners are committed to sustainability, offering in-store recycling options at no cost to the consumer. These programs cover all costs associated with collection, consolidation, transportation, and recycling—keeping beauty waste out of landfills.
