HOW TO RECYCLE YOUR LANCÔME PRODUCTS

We are reducing our carbon footprint by optimizing our packaging and formulas. Here at Lancôme, we are reducing the material we use by 20%, from now through 2025. This page explains everything you need to know about recycling your Lancôme favorites.

WHAT’S RECYCLABLE?

Recycling bins can handle paper, glass, metal and plastic bottles. Items labeled with these symbols are recyclable in such bins.

Recycle PET bottles

PET bottles are recyclable once they are emptied. However, their caps should be disposed of separately, in a household bin.

Recycle glass bottles

These containers are entirely recyclable! Glass bottles are easy to recycle, so long as the instructions on the package are followed. Accessories on the bottle (i.e. the cap) are typically fine to leave on when recycling.
