Recycling information
As a small start up of average Joes, we’re pretty concerned about the impact that product packaging waste is
having on the world around us.
In order to help combat this, we’ve launched the UK’s first razor cartridge recycling scheme for our customers.
All other packaging is recyclable or reusable.

Cartridge recycling scheme
Return your used razor cartridges back to us in batches of 16, in one of our special letterbox sized boxes, and we’ll recycle them on your behalf.

Packaging
All orders arrive in cardboard boxes that you can simply break down and pop in the card and paper recycling bin. Most of the products in our zero plastic range are packaged in small cardboard boxes sometimes with protective paper. These can also go in the card and paper recycling bin.
Some of our orders also contain biodegradable packing peanuts. These are made from GM-free starch, are compostable, and will dissolve in water. You can also keep them for future use!
Plastic bottles
Our plastic bottles are made from either HDPE or LDPE, and caps / spray tops are made from PP, all of which are commonly recycled types of plastics. However, what is accepted differs between local authorities, so be sure to check what is accepted in your area.
Glass
Some of our products are packaged in recyclable glass, like our oils, face masks and bath salts. When you’re finished using them, simply give the glass a quick rinse and put them in with your glass recycling. Be sure to pop the lid in the metal recycling bin as well.
Aluminium
A few of our products are packaged using recyclable aluminium, including the lids of our face masks, the lids of our oils and our beard wax. When you’re finished, simply take off any labels or cap liners, rinse and pop them in your metal recycling.
