BACK-TO-M·A·C
M·A·C SHARES
YOUR
COMMITMENT
TO THE PLANET
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.
30 YEARS OF
SUSTAINABLE
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.
30 YEARS OF
SUSTAINABLE
RECYCLING
490,000
POUNDS
of containers were processed in the calendar year 2020 in North America!
30 YEARS OF
SUSTAINABLE
RECYCLING
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!

IMPROVING OUR SUSTAINABILITY FOR OVER 30 YEARS
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!
HELP GIVE YOUR
OLD M·A·C
PRODUCT

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.

A SECOND LIFE

01
Return your clean, empty products that are eligible* for return to a participating M·A·C counter** in-store.

 

02
Recyclable products will 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.
*The following product categories are not eligible for return through the Back-To-M·A·C program: liquid lipsticks, glitters and pigments, makeup removers, fragrances, brush cleansers and face cleansers, mixing mediums, acrylic paints, nail lacquers and airbrush makeup.

**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.


GOING BEYOND
OUR PRODUCTS

Our plastic efforts go beyond our products.
We are proud to donate $100,000 to Plastics for Change
to enable the collection of over 550,000 pounds of plastic
(equivalent to 12,500,000 plastic bottles!) from our planet while
supporting approximately 200 plastic collectors and their
communities for one year with a host of social services.
