Origins' Gift to You for Protecting the Environment

Posted @ Mar. 28 2011 12:37PM by Lauren - fashion-shopping

On Earth Day, treat yourself to some new face wash or cleanser when you help out the planet. As part of Origins' ongoing initiative to protect the environment, the skin care company will take your empty cosmetic packaging –everything from bottles, tubes, jars, deodorant sticks and compacts regardless of the brand- to be recycled, when possible, or responsibly converted to energy. As a thank you for supporting the Return to Origins Recycling Program, the company will gift you with free Origins samples.
While the program goes year-round, Earth Day (April 22) is the perfect time to take advantage of this first-of-its-kind nationwide cosmetic recycling initiative. Since the program’s launch in 2009, Origins has recycled more than 17,000 pounds of cosmetic packaging.
