Recycle your beauty waste with us
About TerraCycle
TerraCycle, Inc. is an International recycling Organisation that engages the community to collect ‘unrecyclable” and difficult-to recycle-packaging and products, and turns them into innovative eco products. Founded in 2001, TerraCycle is the world leader in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable post-consumer waste with operations in 21 countries and has over 60 million people participating globally in its programs to collect waste.
In Australia, TerraCycle launched in 2014 and has already diverted over 13 million pieces of ‘unrecyclable’ waste from landfills.
How It Works
Drop Off In-Store
Every year, millions of beauty and skincare packaging end up in dumpsters and landfill. We are working with TerraCycle to put an end to this enormous loss of resources. Participating is completely free and very easy.
Simply bring your empties into your closest L'Occitane boutique and drop into our TerraCycle bin.

What Can Be Recycled?
- Beauty packaging such as lip balm tubes, makeup remover bottles and pumps, fragrances bottles and pumps, and deodorant sticks.

- Hair care packaging such as pumps and caps from shampoo and conditioner bottles, hair care dispensers and containers, hair product trigger heads, and refill pouches.

Be An Eco Hero
It is more carbon efficient to recycle these items in your home or local waste streams.
Further reduce your carbon footprint by collecting multiple empties to recycle in one go.
