To ensure your beauty empties don’t end up in landfill, we’ve partnered with TerraCycle, the global leaders in recycling the unrecyclable. Rather than throwing away your already-loved bottles, pots, tubes, and palettes, TerraCycle’s recycling program lets us send back your beauty waste, ready to be sorted, processed, and transformed into something new (and just as beautiful). Next time you hit pan or have squeezed as much as you can out of your favourite beauty, give your local MECCA a visit and pop your clean empties into a labelled bin, or pass them on to a team member at the registers—we’ll take care of the rest. For a full list of what can and can’t be recycled, see below.

PLASTICS: Plastics are separated by number, melted down, and turned into pellets that can be moulded and extruded to produce new products. METALS: Metals are separated by type and smelted into ingots for reuse. GLASS: Glass is cleaned and sorted by colour for processing. It is then crushed and melted to be used in new glass products.
