We don’t have an in-house policy on recycling the packaging material that we consume. However recycling implies collection of used material from customers which also means that we consume transportation resources, which in turn adds to the carbon footprint. Moreover, the extra cost of recycling will ultimately have to be bourne by customers. This is in conflict with our policy of trying to get our natural and safe cosmetic products in to the hands of maximum possible people by keeping them affordable.
