Disposal Instructions
Packaging and product residues
This page explains how to sort empty packaging and dispose of product residues.
Empty Cosmetic Containers
Our products often come in plastic bottles, glass jars, tubes, or airless dispensers. Here's how to dispose of them correctly:
- Plastic packaging (e.g., bottles, jars, tubes) → Yellow bag / recycling bin
- Glass containers (e.g., jars, flacons) → Glass recycling container (sort by color)
- Pump dispensers & spray heads → unfortunately often not recyclable, please dispose of in residual waste
- Paper packaging → Paper recycling
- Package inserts / labels → according to material (paper or plastic)
Product Residues
If you don't use up a product completely, please don't dispose of cosmetic contents in the sink or toilet. This can harm water bodies and sewage treatment plants.Better
- Dispose of cosmetic contents (e.g., creams, lotions) in the sealed original container through residual waste.
Batteries, Electronic Components (e.g., Tools)
Should we offer products with electronic components (e.g., rechargeable tools) in the future, you will find information here about return and recycling obligations according to ElektroG. Currently, our products do not contain any electronic components or batteries.
