Recycle at Boots Scheme

We’re delighted to be working alongside retail chain Boots with the launch of a new in-store recycling scheme for its customers.

 

Many beauty, health, wellness and dental items can’t be recycled traditionally due to their size, what materials they’re made from and various other factors. We’ll be taking all the items collected in Boots stores, breaking them down to their components and fully recycling – anything that can be recycled or composted, will be, and everything else will go into our Stormboard production.

Originally designed as a replacement for wooden plyboard to help reduce our demand and over use of wood; this versatile material is now used in a huge array of products by many joiners, shop fitters, building merchants and in general home use.

No incineration, no landfill.

Zero waste, 100% recycled.

“To help our customers shop and consume more sustainably, we’re excited to launch the most inclusive recycling scheme on the market.

“Customers will be able to recycle even the most difficult health, beauty and wellness empties, from old mascaras and empty toothpaste tubes to finished lipsticks and empty vitamin pots.

“Our customers can then feel even better about treating themselves with their Boots Advantage Card points.”

Joanna Rogers, Trading Director and VP of Beauty at Boots

 

Initially to be trialled at 50 Boots stores across the country (see below), simply scan the product on your mobile phone at the Scan2Recycle site, and deposit them at a participating store. For every five products deposited, customers will receive £5 worth of Boots Advantage Card points.

You can learn more about the new scheme, along with full terms and conditions, here.
