DAVINES
In partnership withGreen Circle Salons, Davines has launched their In-Salon Container Recycling: The Take Back Box.
Currently piloting in 37 salons across the US with a waiting list of 100 and growing, the DavinesTake Back Boxes provide Davines guests with an easy way to recycle their difficult to recycle Davines packaging at their salon and ensures that the returned empties are given another life.
"We are so excited to partner with Davines to help them close the loop on their retail products and provide truly sustainable beauty," says Shane Price, Founder and CEO of Green Circle Salons. "The Davines Consumer Take Back Box program will ensure that the packaging from the products we all love will never end up in landfills. Instead they will be given a new life, put back into circulation, and turned into new products. This includes packaging that is difficult to recycle through local recycling programs, like dark plastic, combined materials, and aerosol cans. Together we are Making Beauty Beautiful."
Some packaging is more challenging to recycle than others and Davines says they want their customers to have full confidence that all of their Davines products are recycled correctly. Bringing empty aerosols, combined materials, and dark plastics to a Take Back Box means they are given another life through proper sorting and recycling with Green Circle Salons and their partners.
