The Clean Cut.
Helping you cut ties with your empties, for GOOD.
Did you know that personal care and beauty products account for 1/3 of all landfill waste? As much as we l-o-v-e our clean beauty and skincare products, this stat is not so pretty! Shop Good wants to support you in being the change we must see in order to support and heal Mother Earth. Introducing, Shop Good’s recycling program.
Why Recycle with Shop Good?
Many of our favorite products are made up of multiple materials and small components, and tbh, microsorting at most local recycling facilities just doesn’t happen. So, the cleanser bottle you thought you “recycled” ends up in landfill. Shop Good wants to help. We're proud to be partnering with TerraCycle, a social enterprise recycling platform that works to reuse, upcycle and recycle waste. This moves waste from a linear system to a circular one, allowing it to keep cycling in our economy vs ending in landfill. TerraCycle recycles over 97% of the waste it collects, and reuses or up-cycles the rest. Keep scrolling to learn how to recycle your beauty products with us.
Step One: Use Up and Wipe Down Your Empties
You know those extra-loved products by the repeated menagerie of 'empties' you collect. Love up those favorites down to every last drop before bringing them to us. Reach for a Q-tip or scraping tool to make sure you're using up all the good stuff.
In order for our team to be able to recycle your products, all containers need to be completely cleaned, without any residue or left-over product in sight. An overnight soak in soap & water should do the trick!
Our List of Accepted Empties:
- Shampoo + conditioner bottles and caps
- Hair spray bottles and pumps
- Lip balm tubes
- Face + body soap dispensers and tubes
- Lotion bottles, tubes, dispensers, and jars
- Shaving foam tubes (no cans please)
- Lip gloss tubes
- Mascara tubes
- Eye liner pencils and cases
- Eye shadow
- Foundation containers
- Concealer tubes and sticks.
*All items outside of this list will not be accepted
Step Two: Cut Ties With Your Empties
Hand off your empties to our in-store teams at our San Diego stores and we'll take it from there. We work with TerraCycle to ensure your personal care empties are broken down by component, sorted and processed into raw materials and ultimately reused or upcycled... instead of being directly sent to landfill. Cue, more space in your beauty cabinet and a happier planet.
Step Three: Rack Up and Redeem Your Shop Good Loyalty Points
For every full size empty you bring in, you'll receive 1 Club Good point*. Please note, our teams can only process + accept 10 empties per visit.
Restock on your clean beauty essentials - or snag those new products you've been eyeing. A win for you, and a win for the environment.
