ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

World Wisdom: Acure Recycling

TerraCycle Include USA ACURE
ACURE®, a leader in skin and hair wellness, has partnered with international recycling leader TerraCycle® to make the packaging for their line of skin care and personal care products nationally recyclable in the United States. As an added incentive, for every shipment of ACURE® waste sent to TerraCycle, collectors earn points that can be donated to a non-profit, school or charitable organization of their choice.   Through the ACURE® Recycling Program, consumers can now send in ACURE® skin care and personal care packaging to be recycled for free. Participation is easy: sign up on the TerraCycle program page  https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/acure and mail in the packaging waste using a prepaid shipping label. Once collected, the packaging is cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products.   “ACURE is giving their customers the unique opportunity to divert waste from landfills by offering them a way to responsibly dispose of their skincare packaging,” said TerraCycle CEO and Founder, Tom Szaky. “In turn, by participating in the ACURE® Recycling Program, consumers can demonstrate their respect for the environment not only through the products that they choose to include in their beauty regimen, but also by how the packaging is disposed of.”   The ACURE® Recycling Program is open to any interested individual, school, office, or community organization.
