On A Mission to Tackle Waste in the Beauty Industry, MOB Beauty Launches the Pact Mail Back Program For Hard-To-Recycle Beauty Packaging

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MOB Beauty, a sustainable makeup brand focused on pro-quality makeup and innovative Earth-friendly packaging, announces the launch of a mail back program for Pact, a nonprofit collective on a mission to reduce beauty packaging waste. Pact launched on Earth Day 2021 with recycling bins for hard-to-recycle beauty products in all Credo and Hudson's Bay Company stores across North America, and the Pact Mail Back Program now offers a solution for customers who don't have access to these local bins. With an estimated 120 billion beauty packages made each year - most of them from virgin plastic and ending up in landfills - the goal is to lessen the amount of packaging that ends up in landfills or our oceans.

"At MOB Beauty, we are committed to only launching products with sustainable packaging solutions and it was in our search for recycling options that we joined forces with Credo and Hudson's Bay Company to launch Pact, to address the massive environmental impact of cosmetics waste by educating and providing sustainable solutions for hard-to-recycle packaging," said Victor Casale, MOB Beauty Co-founder and CEO. "As small packaging and other hard-to-recycle components (such as pumps) are not recyclable in your curbside bin, clients now have both an in-store and mail back solution for recycling empties."

Pact offers recycling solutions for North America, no matter where you are located.

How to Mail Back Your Empties:

1. Save your empty, hard-to-recycle beauty packages (check the list here for guidelines)
2. When you have 5-10 empties collected and cleaned, create a mailing label on pactcollective.org/mob
3. Drop your empties in any small envelope or box and mail them back
