Recycling Directory

Each year, Americans throw out around 22 million tons of products that could have been recycled.1
We get it—recycling can be confusing. That's why we've partnered with Pact, a beauty and wellness collection program that exists to end packaging waste in the beauty and wellness industry and to make its packaging more sustainable. Through our partnership with Pact, you’ll be able to divert your Kinfield empties from ending up in the landfill by returning them through Pact’s collection program!
