Are Garnier products recyclable? 65% of our plastic packaging is indeed recyclable. For the past few years, Garnier has been committed to removing disruptors, such as metalized labels, opaque PET and other disruptors to improve the recyclability of its products. Bottles with pumps or small packaging are not yet recyclable because no streams exist yet at scale to recycle them. -
What is the difference between recyclable packaging and recycled packaging? Recyclable packaging can be recycled. It is collected, cleaned and sorted by material (paper, type of plastic, metal, etc.). Then, it is shredded, washed, melted and reformed into pellets, or granulate.

Recycled packaging often refers to packaging made with recycled plastic from a recycling stream. 45% of Garnier’s plastic is recycled plastic, and the goal is to use zero virgin plastic by 2030. -
