The expansion of the ‘Recycle at Boots’ scheme to 700 stores means that more customers can now visit their local Boots store and drop off their hair, beauty, wellness and dental empties to be recycled.
The British retailer, in collaboration with the brand No7, launched Recycle at Boots last year. Since its launch, over half a million products have been recycled by Boots customers, the success of the pilot in 50 stores has led to the expansion of the scheme to 700 stores across the country. This in turn has lead to the recycling scheme being dubbed as the “most accessible beauty, health & wellness recycling scheme of its kind in the UK” by OPRL.
This initiative is part of Boots strategy to reduce their environmental impact on the planet. Using the Scan2Recycle technology, the scheme allows customers to drop off their empty products at the in-store recycle bins, which then leads to them being rewarded with 250 Boots Advantage Card points, when 5 empty products are brought in to be recycled, the points will be added to the customer’s Boots loyalty card (when spending £10). Find out more about the Recycle at Boots scheme, and locate your nearest participating store here.
