Packaging collected for recycling
TerraCycle L'Oreal Garnier Include USA
Beauty brand Garnier kicked off its summer Garnier Greener Tour in partnership with green company TerraCycle on Wednesday at the Walmart parking lot on Boca Chica.
A stated goal of the tour is to gather packaging from cosmetics and from hair- and skin-care products — packaging that would otherwise end up occupying space in a landfill.
The TerraCycle website says that beauty and personal-care products account for about one-third of landfill waste because they are usually not accepted as recyclable material because of their composition.
