You asked, and we listened—many Ritual customers have been looking for a solution for packaging that isn’t recyclable through curbside services. We’re excited to share that Ritual has expanded our partnership with Pact Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing packaging waste in the beauty and wellness industry.
As part of this partnership, Ritual is now covering the cost for customers to send back specific Ritual packaging through Pact’s mail-back program. This initiative helps ensure that empties are not just thrown away but properly processed and reintegrated into the production cycle whenever possible.
Who Is Pact Collective?
Pact Collective is a trailblazer in the beauty and wellness space. It brings together brands, retailers, and suppliers to take collective responsibility for packaging waste. Their innovative collection programs offer one of the most credible and transparent solutions to recycling hard-to-recycle materials.
Their goal? To help the industry move toward a more circular economy, where packaging is reused, recycled, and redesigned more sustainably.
How Does the Pact Program Work?
Pact offers two main ways to responsibly recycle your packaging:
Mail-in program: Ritual customers can send back eligible containers using a pre-paid label, and we cover the cost.
Drop-off program: You can also bring qualifying empties to participating Pact drop-off locations.
To get started, or to print your free shipping label, visit PactCollective.org.
Ritual is covering all shipping and processing costs as a gift for your efforts. Together, we can close the loop on hard-to-recycle beauty packaging.
Which Ritual Products Qualify for the Pact Program?
The following products are eligible for free recycling through our Pact mail-back partnership:
Essential Protein
HyaCera™
Synbiotic+
Natal Choline
📌 Quick tip: If it’s a clear Ritual bottle and smaller than a yogurt cup or your fist, it’s likely recyclable curbside. Everything else? Send it to Pact.
Packaging decisions are complex, considering formulation integrity, recyclability, refillability, and carbon footprint. Our goal is to evolve thoughtfully and sustainably.
Can I Send Products I Didn’t Buy from Ritual?
Yes! You’re welcome to include empty packaging from other beauty or wellness brands if the items meet Pact’s recycling guidelines. The program's goal is to help reduce waste across the industry, not just from Ritual, so you can recycle a wider range of products through this initiative.
