Pact was born from a simple idea: the beauty industry can do better. Founded by MOB Beauty and clean beauty retailer Credo, Pact unites brands to take responsibility for packaging waste and create circular solutions. Circularity isn’t a solo effort—it requires collaboration, shared knowledge, and bold action. Today, more than 150 beauty and wellness brands have joined Pact, working together to build a cleaner, brighter future for people and the planet.

• Rigid plastic containers (when larger than 2″ x 2″, caps can stay on if the main packaging is curbside recyclable)

• Stainless steel or aluminum (when larger than 2″ x 2″)

• Clear or frosted glass jars and bottles

• Cardboard & paper

• Plastic, metal, and paper bottles + jars smaller than a yogurt cup or 2″x 2″

• Plastic + aluminum squeezable tubes

• Colored glass bottles + jars (varies heavily by location; check locally)

• Caps + closures

• Pumps + dispensers

• Droppers + applicators

Yes please!

Rinse out any leftover product before recycling. Clean containers help ensure they can actually be recycled and prevent contamination in the recycling process.

Take apart all caps, lids and closures so you can properly clean each component

Use warm, soapy water and let your containers soak if necessary

Once your items are collected through Pact, they’re transformed into new products instead of ending up in landfills or oceans. By recycling hard-to-recycle beauty packaging, we’re giving materials a second life—and helping protect the planet together.

Find a drop-off location by visiting Pact Bin Locations — Pact Collective

If you can’t find a bin, you can send them via mail. We recommend you wait until you have a minimum of 5-10 items so we can continue to make less of an impact.

Let’s be real for a moment. You alone will not make a big difference by recycling one bottle every few months. Not a chance. But, the whole goal is that we can all do this together.
1 person = not a huge difference.
1 million people = now we are getting somewhere.

We love this. In fact, we love this so much that we have done our very best to provide you with multi-use packaging.

Some ideas we have

DROPPER BOTTLES:
Save these for travel. Use them to fill with your shampoos, lotions, etc. Space saver!

SPRAY BOTTLES:
Use distilled water and a few drops of your favorite essential oils to create a body/room spray

GLASS/PLASTIC BOTTLES:
Fill with hand soap or dish detergent

JARS:
Oh, the endless possibilities. Use these for small item organization– think bobby pins, hair ties, rings, or even spices!

BOXES:
A lot of our round boxes are quite ridged and strong. These are good for holding multiple items, much like jars!
