HOW DOES IT WORK?

STEP 1

Gather up your empty The Body Shop plastic plastic and aluminium packaging at home. Just make sure it is as empty, clean and dry as possible.

STEP 2

Bring them into store and pop them in one of our Return, Recycle, Repeat bins.

STEP 3

We’ll make sure they are safely processed and recycled. Plastic will be recycled to re-usable plastic granules whilst aluminum will be sent to smelters/refiners and collectors/aggregators. This is being done through our service partner Enviroserve in assistance with Al Arfaj Group.

What can I recycle in store?

Here's a hand guide to what you can and can't bring back into store.
Bring into store

Bring back The Body Shop plastic and aluminium packaging as long as it is empty, clean, dry and not hazardous. Perhaps you can even collect packaging from your friends too!

Unable to recycle

Unfortunately,we can't accept any empty packaging that's classed as hazardous or flammable, such as perfume bottles, as well as accessories.

Where does my empty packaging go?

Once you've brought all your empty packaging to our store and our bins have reached their loading capacity, our service partner Enviroserve will collect the empty containers. Plastic will be recycled to re-usable pallets and aluminium will be sent to smelters/refiners or collectors/aggregators. This is being done through Al Arfaj Group.
