By collecting and recycling disposable razors and their packaging through the program, these hard-to-recycle items are kept out of landfills and incinerators."Razors are made from a mix of metal and plastic, which means most local recycling services can't process these items. As a result, consumers are often left without a real recycling option," said Tom Szaky, Founder and CEO of TerraCycle. "The Edgewell Schick and Skintimate Free Recycling Program addresses this challenge by giving consumers a free, nationwide option to recycle these products and make disposal easier."To participate, consumers can visit the Edgewell Schick and Skintimate Free Recycling Program to sign up and download a free shipping label. Used Schick and Skintimate disposable razors and the associated plastic packaging can be collected in any secure, puncture-proof box. Once full, the box can be sealed, labeled, and sent to TerraCycle for recycling. Plastics are processed into pellets used to make products such as park benches, picnic tables, and decking, and the metals are smelted into sheeting, ingots, or bar stock that serve as base materials for stamped applications like nuts, bolts, washers, and rings."Our well-loved brands are always seeking new ideas and innovative solutions to bring joy to everyday life," said Amy Knight, Vice President, Global Sustainability at Edgewell Personal Care. "Through our partnership with TerraCycle, we're offering a convenient recycling option that helps consumers give products a second life, reflecting our sustainability strategy to support circularity where possible and encouraging more participation in recycling."The Edgewell Schick and Skintimate Free Recycling Program is open to individuals, households, schools, and community organizations across the continental United States.
