We recently asked over on our Facebook Group if you would you like to be able to recycle your cosmetics, skincare, make up & bathroom product packaging at Gatley Refillery- and you said YES!
We have invested in an innovative recycling programme, aimed specifically at difficult to recycle beauty and cosmetic packaging. The ideal zero waste solution for your difficult to recycle plastics!
The plastics we collect are then reworked into useful projects in order to avoid landfill!
