Why the TWISH™ Recycling Program Matters

The beauty industry generates a staggering amount of waste annually, with millions of plastic cosmetic containers ending up in landfills. These containers often take hundreds of years to decompose, contributing significantly to environmental pollution. The TWISH™ Recycling Program tackles this problem head-on by offering a convenient and rewarding solution for our community members to participate in sustainable beauty practices. Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact of beauty products, minimize waste, and promote a culture of reuse and recycling.

How the TWISH™ Recycling Program Works

Welcome to TWISH™, where we are leading the beauty industry by transforming beauty through sharing. TWISH™ is the premiere beauty barter marketplace, enabling users to earn Glow Coins through buying or exchanging cosmetic products, redeemable for various top-tier beauty services. Our platform is designed to make beauty accessible, affordable, and sustainable..

1. Collection Process

  • Step 1: Gather Your Empty Containers

    Users can collect their used and empty cosmetic containers, including bottles, jars, tubes, palettes, and compacts, from products they no longer use or have finished.

  • Step 2: Register and Prepare

    Register your participation in the TWISH™ Recycling Program via our website or mobile app. Ensure containers are clean and free from any remaining product residue.

  • Step 3: Drop-Off or Ship

    Users can drop off their empty containers at designated TWISH™ Recycling Points located in partner beauty salons, spas, and beauty supply stores across Ontario and Quebec. Alternatively, they can mail their items directly to our recycling center using our prepaid shipping label.

2. Sorting and Processing

  • Once received, TWISH™ will sort the containers into recyclable and non-recyclable categories. We work with professional recycling partners to ensure that all eligible materials are recycled efficiently, while non-recyclable items are handled responsibly.

  • Reusable items will be sterilized, refilled, or repurposed as part of our TWISH™ PODS initiative, promoting a circular beauty economy.

3. Earning Glow Coins

  • Every time a user recycles with TWISH™, they earn Glow Coins as a reward. These coins can be redeemed for various beauty services, products, or exchanged with other users within our TWISH™ marketplace, incentivizing users to participate in sustainable beauty practices actively.

Educational Initiatives and Community Engagement

To ensure the success of our recycling program, TWISH™ offers educational resources and workshops on the importance of sustainability within the beauty industry. Our goal is to raise awareness about the impact of cosmetic waste and inspire our community to adopt more eco-friendly habits. By partnering with local beauty professionals, influencers, and environmental organizations, TWISH™ creates a platform for dialogue, learning, and action.

Impact and Goals of the TWISH™ Recycling Program

Our recycling program is designed to have a tangible, positive impact on the environment and the beauty industry at large. Key goals include:

  • Reducing Cosmetic Waste:We aim to recycle or repurpose at least 50,000 cosmetic containers in our first year, significantly reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills.
  • Raising Awareness:Through educational initiatives, TWISH™ aspires to become a leading voice in sustainable beauty, promoting awareness of eco-friendly practices among beauty enthusiasts and professionals.
  • Creating a Circular Beauty Economy:By integrating recycling with our Glow Coin rewards system, we encourage a circular economy where beauty products are continuously repurposed, reused, or recycled.

Our Recycling Commitment and Technology

To further our sustainability mission, TWISH™ leverages cutting-edge technology to track and manage the recycling process efficiently. Through our app, users can monitor their recycling contributions, track the impact of their efforts, and see how many containers they've kept out of landfills. This transparency ensures that participants understand their role in driving change and feel empowered to continue their sustainable journey

The Role of TWISH™ PODS in the Recycling Program

TWISH™ PODS, our line of smart, reusable cosmetic containers, play a vital role in our recycling initiative. TWISH™ PODS are designed to be refilled, reused, and recycled, reducing the need for single-use packaging. Users can return empty TWISH™ PODS for cleaning and refilling, earning additional Glow Coins in the process. This creates a seamless and sustainable loop, ensuring that beauty products are used to their fullest potential.
