Good Chemistry is Recyclable by TerraCycle

Recycle with TerraCycle®

We’ve partnered with TerraCycle®, a social enterprise Eliminating the Idea of Waste®, to recycle components of Good Chemistry's personal fragrance. It’s free. It’s easy. It’s good-for-all innovation that recycles our packaging into new, useful items. Get started at terracycle.com/goodchemistry

While we make our products with the most commonly recyclable materials we can, our small componentry of perfume and body mist vessels can be made of multiple materials that are needed to prevent leakage and ensure proper safety and closure. Some of these bits and pieces can be recycled with your local curbside service and some cannot (yet!).

There are two ways to go about it:

1. Recycle what you can at home. Look for a 1, 2 or PET on our packaging and drop just that portion in your curbside recycling bin. All of our cartons and glass bottles are locally recyclable, too! Everything else--like applicators, pumps, and caps--ship for free to TerraCycle®.

2. Ship the empty packaging for free to TerraCycle®

How recycling with TerraCycle® works:
All you need is a do-good attitude, your well-loved personal fragrance products, and a box to put them in.

  1. Sign up at terracycle.com/goodchemistry
  2. Collect empty applicators, pumps, and caps
  3. Request then print free shipping label
  4. Send back to TerraCycle®
  5. Feel Good!

Once items make it to TerraCycle® they are cleaned and separated by material type. The materials are recycled into raw formats that manufacturers use to make new products. High Fives!

P.S. Home Fragrance containers are recyclable curbside, pretty please don't add them to your TerraCycle® shipment :)
