how to recycle your beauty empties

Did you know that the global beauty industry generates over 120 billion units of packaging annually? 

Beauty products are often made from several different materials that can't be separated including plastic, magnets, glues & metals, making them difficult to recycle and unsuitable for our everyday community kerbside recycling programs, therefore ending up in landfill. 

Ere Perez embraces the Less is Beautiful philosophy, encouraging thoughtful formulations, multitasking products, and sustainable packaging.

By choosing clean beauty products with fewer materials, we reduce waste and support the environment. Be sure to recycle your beauty empties correctly to keep packaging in the loop - recycled & repurposed!
