Throughout October, including during #RecycleWeek, CTPA is highlighting the importance of recycling beauty and personal care products and supporting the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) ‘Rescue Me’ campaign focusing on rescuing recyclable items from the rubbish bin. https://lnkd.in/epqQyqmP It is also very important to remember to dispose of 𝗮𝗹𝗹 bathroom waste responsibly. Some items of our personal care routines, such as make-up wipes and baby care wipes, are not designed to be flushed down the toilet and can cause lots of problems if they are disposed of that way. 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 put these types of wipes in the waste bin and not down the toilet. 👉 Visit CTPA’s consumer website thefactsabout.co.uk updated pages on cosmetics and toiletries recycling here: https://lnkd.in/eQwKkiPg 👉 Share our 'Recycling from the Bathroom' infographic here: https://lnkd.in/ezZiBqQs The infographic highlights in particular: 🔹 which packaging can be recycled 🔹 what to do with small packaging 🔹 where to find a “take-back scheme” drop-off point 🔹 how to dispose of wipes 👉 Follow CTPA throughout October to learn more and spread the word on recycling. #RecycleWeek2024 #Recycling #TakeBackScheme #Cosmetics  #Sustainability

It’s #RecycleWeek and throughout October, CTPA is highlighting the importance of recycling to ensure cosmetic and personal care packaging does not end up in landfill.  CTPA supports the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) ‘Rescue Me’ campaign focusing on rescuing recyclable items from the rubbish bin. https://lnkd.in/epqQyqmP Today, we are looking at “Take-back Schemes”. What happens to our waste depends on the local facilities available for recovery or recycling of packaging waste. Also, some decorated items or containers with remnants of products can contaminate a recycling process and small items can fall through the mechanisms. 👉 CTPA is providing support to the cosmetics industry in addressing this particular challenge, sharing information and materials which are meant to educate consumers on what they can do to be part of the solution. As one solution available today, many high-street chains now have collection boxes to collect small items of cosmetic packaging that are not accepted through household recycling. These are called “Take-back Schemes”. The Recycling Locator https://lnkd.in/dwWVgTR, available on the Recycle Now website, allows consumers to search for a product and find out where the nearest take-back scheme is to recycle the product packaging. The Recycling Locator also lists products that can be collected with household recycling. 👉 Visit CTPA’s consumer website thefactsabout.co.uk updated pages on cosmetics and toiletries recycling here: https://lnkd.in/eQwKkiPg 👉 Share our 'Recycling from the Bathroom' infographic here: https://lnkd.in/ezZiBqQs The infographic highlights in particular:  🔹 which packaging can be recycled 🔹 what to do with small packaging 🔹 where to find a “take-back scheme” drop-off point 🔹 how to dispose of wipes 👉 Follow CTPA throughout October to learn more and spread the word on recycling. #RecycleWeek2024 #Recycling #TakeBackScheme #Cosmetics  #Sustainability

Ahead of Recycle Week (14-20 October) and throughout October, CTPA is highlighting the importance of recycling to ensure cosmetic and personal care packaging does not end up in landfill. CTPA supports the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) ‘Rescue Me’ campaign focusing on rescuing recyclable items from the rubbish bin. https://lnkd.in/epqQyqmP Today we are looking at which cosmetic and personal care packaging you can recycle. Consumers regularly recycle packaging from the kitchen, but what about bathroom products? These include perfume bottles, shampoo bottles, conditioner, shower gels, bubble baths, deodorant and hair sprays... When the product is finished, the empty packaging can be put into your household recycling bin for kerbside collection. 👉 Visit CTPA’s consumer website thefactsabout.co.uk updated pages on cosmetics and toiletries recycling here: https://lnkd.in/eQwKkiPg 👉 Share our 'Recycling from the Bathroom' infographic here: https://lnkd.in/ezZiBqQs The infographic highlights in particular:  🔹 which packaging can be recycled 🔹 what to do with small packaging 🔹 where to find a “take-back scheme” drop-off point 🔹 how to dispose of wipes 👉 Follow CTPA throughout October to learn more and spread the word on recycling. #RecycleWeek2024 #Recycling #TakeBackScheme #Cosmetics #Sustainability

CTPA Director-General Emma Meredith, Director of Science Caroline Rainsford and Scientific Affairs Manager Francesca Rapolla are in Washington DC attending ICCS (International Collaboration on Cosmetics Safety) meetings. Emma Meredith says: “CTPA very much values its membership of ICCS and is extremely pleased to be attending the Inaugural ICCS Meeting in Washington DC, the ICCS Board meeting and a workshop to build confidence in New Approach Methods (NAMs) for regulatory use. The Inaugural meeting on Thursday 03 October, with over 100 delegates and a stellar line-up of speakers, had an in-depth and really stimulating programme.” Caroline Rainsford took place in a panel discussion that shone a ‘Spotlight on EU & UK Roadmap Efforts to Replace Animals in Testing’. Joining representatives from the European Commission, Cosmetics Europe - The Personal Care Association, EFfCI - The European Federation for Cosmetic Ingredients and EPAA European Partnership for Alternative Approaches and moderated by PETA, Caroline highlighted the importance of a roadmap on non-animal methods in the UK and globally. Caroline also explained the important role Trade Associations have in coordinating the great work being undertaken and also in building confidence in the use of non-animal science and NGRA (New Generation Risk Assessment). The opportunities we have in the UK with the review of UK REACH and the appetite of regulators to move away from animal science are very exciting. To kick off the afternoon, Francesca Rapolla, CTPA’s Scientific Affairs Manager, moderated a session which provided an introduction to the AFSA (Animal-Free Safety Assessment ) Masterclass which was presented by Dr Catherine Willett from the Humane Society International. It was a great day! Many thanks Erin Hill and all the Team at ICCS for a truly inspirational meeting. #ICCS #ICCS2024 #environmentalsafety #NAMs #Cosmetics #NGRAs #AnimalFreeSafetyAssessments #ScientificPanels
