Plastic is everywhere, and it\u2019s destroying the planet. Now, we know it\u2019s hard to completely cut plastic out of your life.

Opt for products in metal or glass bottles, and avoid plastic bottles whenever you can.<\/li>\n \t<li><em>Look for plastic-free products.<\/em> Brushes with wood wands (or even better, bamboo) are way more eco-friendly than brushes with plastic wands.

For doing so, you can usually get a refund, store credit, or even <a href=\"\/2016\/06\/get-makeup-birthday-freebies-8-places\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free swag<\/a>! The old packaging is then recycled or sanitized, and reused by the company. This makes it cost-effective for them as well. That\u2019s a <em>triple<\/em> win!\n\nMoreover, if you recycle at home (again, please do), you need to know how to do it properly! Paper should be separated from plastics. This includes paper labels on plastic or glass packaging. Containers should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed before being put into the recycle bin. That means you should take the time to scrape out the last few drops of your product, and then rinse all containers under hot water until it\u2019s squeaky clean.\n\nA dirty container WON\u2019T be recycled properly. It\u2019s nauseating how many perfectly recyclable products end up in landfills because people didn\u2019t bother to rinse them out first.
