Since the September launch, Boots has recycled 1,150 kg (over one tonne) of plastic, thanks to the dedication of its sustainability savvy customers. The initiative has seen over 30,000 customers signing up to take part in the scheme, scanning in 104,235 empty products using the Scan2Recycle technology. 

The scheme is the first of its kind to come to market, allowing customers to recycle empty health, beauty and wellness products (even from brands not stocked at Boots) – with customers receiving £5 worth of Boots Advantage Card Points when five products are deposited. The scheme is currently available in 50 stores across the UK, find your nearest eligible store here.

ReWorked have been named as Boots official recycling partner for the scheme and will be taking care of all the items deposited. With over 30 years of experience in the recycling industry, we are experts in all areas of sustainability. Our specialism is in hard-to-recycle plastics that others often deem as ‘non-recyclable’.  ReWorked are repurposing the materials into new items, such as storage containers to be reused within Boots warehouses for years to come.
