Recycle your toothpaste tube
Did you know that you can help the environment by recycling your toothpaste tube? Each year 1.5 billion toothpaste tubes are thrown away. Our recyclable tube* can help make a difference. All you have to do is use it and then recycle it.
Step 1:
Look for the symbol on the back and simply squeeze out as much of the toothpaste from the tube as you can.
Step 2:
Put the cap back on and place the tube in your recycling bin. No need to cut open the tube and rinse to remove excess toothpaste.
Step 3:
The tube is ground up at the recycling facility and goes through a rinsing process, where all the residual toothpaste is washed off the plastic.
Step 4:
After recycling, the tube is turned into other useful products.
