Introducing our partnership with HANDLE to recycle beauty empties

HANDLE’s mission is to increase the recycling rates and the reuse of waste packaging across the beauty sector.

Together with HANDLE, Fresh is now making it easier to recycle your beauty empties. Simply bag them up and drop them off in one of our Fresh boutiques.

HANDLE will sort, separate and find the best possible outcome for your empty beauty packaging. 

Come into one of our stores today to pick up a HANDLE collection bag and help us create a world that is forever fresh.

We'll even reward you with 20% off everything excluding sets for every bag you drop off!

Leticia, Fresh Head of Sustainability

"Fresh has been working hard to introduce recycled content across our plastic and glass packaging, we are certifying our paper and cardboard FSC to protect our forests and we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our impact on the environment and maximise our positive action. Fresh decided to partner with Handle as we believe our approach is aligned. We are excited about Handle’s circular approach to beauty and to offer it to our clients now in our shops in London."

Tom, CEO HANDLE

“Fresh are exactly the type of brand we look to work with, those that focus not just on the use of recycled and recyclable material in their packaging, but also about what happens to that packaging once it’s been used. We work day in day out to ensure beauty packaging gets to those who can best process it, which isn’t always the case through municipal recycling routes.”
