Sorting and recycling our packaging
ECOOKING’s packaging is designed so that the material can be recycled.
In Denmark, we have a high rate of glass and aluminium recycling, and plastic recycling is making great progress. Naturally, we support this positive development with our packaging.
For the materials to be recycled, they must be sorted correctly. This means that glass and plastic should be disposed of as glass and plastic waste, and aluminium should be sorted as metal waste.
ECOOKING’s packaging is designed to be separated into its different materials. If, for example, you have a Multi Oil in a glass bottle with a plastic pump, the bottle and pump should be separated before disposal. Fortunately, it is very simple - unscrew the pump from the bottle and put it in the plastic recycling, and the bottle can go in the glass container.
Some of our pumps contain a small metal spring. This makes it especially important to separate the pump from the bottle so that the pump is handled correctly during the recycling process. We are working to replace all our pumps so that they are not made of several different materials.
The people who sort plastic are especially happy when the individual parts have been separated. So please unscrew the lids and pumps from all bottles and jars – including those made of plastic – when you send the material for recycling. This also makes it easier to reach the last drops of the products.
The packaging for dry shampoo and hair spray contains propellants. Propellants are completely harmless and simply keep the product under pressure so that it can be sprayed out of the bottles. However, this means that the bottles should be sorted with paint tins and other packaging taken to the recycling centre as what we call ‘hazardous waste’.
