Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle

Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle - Recycling
As of 2021, the global cosmetics industry produces 120 billion units of packaging every year and few types are accepted by kerbside recycling programmes. Many of the design elements that enable beauty products to be so useable, such as push pumps, make them difficult to recycle. Subsequently, only 9% of plastics produced are recycled and 12% are burned into our atmosphere. All remaining plastic waste ends up in landfill or scattered through the environment.
Our goal is to refill and recycle hundreds of thousands of pieces of product waste through the Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle. The recycled plastic material will be reused for beauty material or to make outdoor products such as picnic tables, and park benches. We will keep our customers and partners update with the progress we make.
The Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle is all part of our relentless pursuit to set a new standard in the beauty industry. We’re proving that luxurious, high performing skincare doesn’t have to come at a compromise to the planet.
We’ve proudly partnered with TerraCycle® to launch the Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle Recycling Programme.
The Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle Recycling Programme is a free, incentivised rewards initiative to ensure beauty products are kept in circularity. We’re rethinking the entire process of a beauty product’s lifespan. We offer free returns, rewards and recycling for not only our own facial products but for all brands’ facial products.
For every 4 items shipped to TerraCycle through the Beauty Circle, senders receive a $15 Emma Lewisham voucher which is redeemable on our website only.
This recycling programme is currently available to our New Zealand and Australian customers.

Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle - Refills
If you have previously purchased a Skin Reset Even Skin Tone Serum, Supernatural Triple Vitamin A+ Face Oil or Supernatural Anti-Ageing 72-Hour Crème and have finished your bottle or jar, you have the option to participate in our Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle Refill Programme.
You can purchase a refilled bottle that has been cleaned, sterilised, refilled and kept in circulation. When you purchase a refillable product over a new bottle there is a quantifiable impact: 70% less CO2 emissions, 60% less energy, 45% less water (Source: LCA Centre).
Our Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle Refill Programme is currently only available for New Zealand and Australian customers. View our refill products and process here.
