It’s a yes from us
Sustainability is the beauty world buzzword at the moment. There has been a big shift in the industry, with experts, editors and bloggers calling for change and raising awareness of ways in which to live more ethically and responsibly – and brands are listening. Lush has opened packaging free stores across Europe and fragrance brand Le Labo offer a 20% discount if you bring in your empty bottle.
The Body Shop are also doing their bit to reduce plastic waste with their new recycle and refill scheme.
The initiative, in partnership with Terracycle, encourages shoppers to recycle their empties for money off products in store. By bringing in five bottles, jars, tubs, tubes or pots you will get £5 off your next purchase.
A full list of participating stores can be found here.
