RECYCLE FOR REAL

We don’t like to talk trash, but here’s the ugly truth: 91% of what you put in that little blue bin isn’t actually getting recycled.

The system simply wasn’t designed to handle everything we need it to. And frankly, the responsibility shouldn’t just be on your shoulders to minimize waste — it’s up to businesses to do their part to reduce waste before it can even get to the bins. Which is why, in partnership with Pact Collective (and a little help from you), we’re changing that.

With our Recycling for Real program, send back 5-10 empties in a box with a prepaid label (don’t worry, we took care of the shipping costs), put it in the mail and we’ll make sure it gets recycled…for real (even those droppers, pumps, and never before recycled bits and pieces).

HOW IT WORKS

STEP 01

Rinse 5-10 of your Prima empties — think lids, caps, glass jars, pumps and droppers.

STEP 02

Download your free shipping label. Pop your empties into a repurposed shipping box, seal it, and attach your prepaid label.

STEP 03

Drop it off at your nearest USPS location or schedule a free pickup online.
