OUR SERVICESBEAUTYCYCLE
Finished your face cream? Used the last of your lip balm? We’ll recycle your empty beauty product containers for free.
Not only can we recycle a broad range of beauty packaging that you’ll struggle to recycle at home – if you’re a My John Lewis member, you’ll get £5 off when you spend £50 or more on B Corp certified beauty brands that day too. Just bring in five or more clean, empty beauty product containers to any of our beauty counters.
What makes a beauty brand B Corp certified?
B Corps (Certified B Corporations) are companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. This is all verified by B Lab.
B Corp certified Beauty Brands we stock at John Lewis
Aromatherapy Associates, Aveda, Chloe, Elemis, Evolve Organic Beauty, L’Occitane, Le Labo, Neom Organics London, Pai, Rituals, Sunday Riley
The cosmetics industry produces 120 billion units of packaging every year – little of which can be recycled at home. BeautyCycle helps to eliminate this waste by recycling your beauty empties for you. It’s all part of our Partnership Plan.
Which products can I recycle?
We accept clean, empty tubs, tubes, caps and lids, shampoo/conditioner bottles and caps, non-pressurised hairspray bottles, lip products (tubes, lipstick, lip balm), mascara tubes, eyeliner pencils and cases, eyeshadow tubes and palettes, concealer and foundation tubes and sticks – including testers. However, we can’t accept aerosols or glass containers.

Step Two
Drop off five clean empties at any beauty counter when spending £50 or more on B Corp certified beauty brands (sorry, we don't take glass containers or aerosols)
