We don’t believe in waste
Used beauty packaging isn’t waste, it’s a raw material with the potential to be repurposed. But it is a waste when it’s not disposed of properly. We want to give people and businesses the opportunity to put it in the right hands.
Because its right, and because we can...
We don’t believe in waste, but we know that we can repurpose beauty packaging as a valuable raw material. We want to give individuals and businesses the same opportunity to become part of the solution to plastic waste and pollution and change the way we HANDLE used beauty packaging.
We're not perfect
But we try hard and learn fast, to get it closer to being perfect. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll ask the people who do. We are progressive and are prepared to tackle the big problems that brands and consumers can’t face on their on own.
Let's work together and get a HANDLE on this situation
We with the help of our partners, we work hard to collect beauty waste with the aim of recycle the materials. Sometimes it goes back to packaging manufacturers. Sometimes we reuse it to create new things. Sometimes due packaging design or limitations in technology and infrastructure our only option is to incinerate.
We work hard to collect beauty waste
Then we work with our partners to reprocess the material. Sometimes it goes back to packaging manufacturers. Sometimes we reuse it to create our HANDLES. We do it because it feels like we should and because we can.
The climate is changing, and so must we.
We’re constantly looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact so please share your knowledge and experiences. It’s not about just treating the symptoms, to really make a difference and get a HANDLE on the situation, we need to go back to the cause.
We want to work with you
You may know more than us, so share your knowledge. The climate is changing, and so must we. We can’t just treat the symptoms, we need to change the cause.
We're not perfect
We are however fast learners! Achieving circularity in anything is complex and if we don’t know the answers, we’re not afraid to ask the people who do. Achieving ambitious and positive industry goals means collaboration, constant progress, and being prepared to tackle the big problems that brands and customers shouldn’t have to face on their own.
HANDLE is for...
The beauty industry who knows it needs to do more. For people who want to buy beauty products, but would rather they didn’t cost the earth. For makers of beauty who need the recycled materials to produce ethical products. We want to say we made a difference, that we started something. Someone ought to do it, so why not us?
