Return to Origins Recycling Program

In honor of Earth Day (April 22nd), cosmetics brand Origins is encouraging customers to drop off their empty cosmetics containers (regardless of brand) at any Origins store or department store counter nationwide.

The program, dubbed the Return to Origins Recycling Program, is accepting primary packaging only, which means packaging that protects the actual products (glass and plastic jars, bottles, tubes, caps, lipstick covers). Packaging will be sent to a consolidation operation. Bottles, jars, caps and tubes will be separated and, where appropriate, will be sent to recyclers who will grind, wash and re-palletize the plastic or glass resin for use in new items, such as bottles, jars, closures, paint cans and park benches.

To learn more about the program, visit http://www.origins.com. Origins is an Estee Lauder brand.
