Fact: Beauty products are notoriously difficult to recycle. Made up of multiple materials and small pieces, the majority of cosmetic items aren’t accepted by traditional recycling streams, ultimately winding up in a landfill. Thankfully, that doesn’t mean you have to trash your cosmetic empties. Thirty years ago, Canadian-born beauty brand M∙A∙C came up with its own way to responsibly recycle its products. Instead of tossing your empties, you can give them a second life with the Back-to-M∙A∙C program.
