We’re continuing to evolve our efforts toward helping reduce our environmental impact and remain dedicated to improving our longstanding pioneer take-back
program, Back-To-M·A·C.

RECYCLING
DID YOU
KNOW...
Most makeup packaging isn’t accepted by your local recycling service, so we created the Back-To-M·A·C program over 30 years ago to help create a place for makeup packaging in the circular economy.

490,000
POUNDS
of containers were processed in the calendar year 2020 in North America!

HOW
MUCH?!
That’s right! That’s the equivalent weight of over
4,600,000 Lipsticks – and we’re excited to keep the
momentum going!

Done with your M·A·C products? Return your clean, empty products in-store [or online] to recycle. What is not recycled is converted to energy. Be part of the solution for a more beautiful tomorrow – today!
For over 30 years, Back-To-M·A·C has recycled or recovered your used product packaging and, where possible, given the old plastic a second life. What cannot be recycled is converted to energy.
Return your clean, empty products to a participating M·A·C counter* in-store [or

If they can be recycled, they’ll be shredded, washed, re-pelletized and recycled into the production of new materials – or, in some places, they’ll become a new M·A·C product!**
03
The packaging that cannot be recycled will be converted into energy.
*Excluding California
**Closed-loop recycling available in North America
Currently, California law inhibits the recycling of returned cosmetic and personal care products. In compliance with local law, M·A·C collects the returns, diverts them from landfill and utilizes a third party to convert the returns from waste to energy.
California customers may still return their empty products and redeem their free Lipstick.
