RECYCLING
We’re inspired by the abundance of the natural world, but acknowledge nature isn’t a limitless resource. Sustainability is a cornerstone of our business—and our packaging decisions reflect that. Although almost all of our packaging is fully recyclable, the complexities of the national recycling program can be confusing. Here’s how to properly sort and recycle your One Love Organics favorites.
Boxes
Our boxes are FSC certified and contain 30% post-consumer waste.
Glass
We prioritize glass, an infinitely recyclable material, as a primary packaging element.
HOW TO RECYCLE AT HOME
Ensure container is empty.
If necessary, empty out any remaining product. Next, rinse or wipe clean container clean.
Separate the parts.
For now, most small parts and pumps are still not recyclable, so it’s important to sort them out and discard.
Recycle the appropriate items.
Follow our guide below to determine what goes in the recycle bin and what goes in the garbage.
Be sure to double-check with your local recycling program to confirm what’s acceptable.
