- Sustainability Initiative: Edgewell's collaboration with TerraCycle to launch a free recycling program allows U.S. consumers to recycle Schick and Skintimate disposable razors and their plastic packaging, aiming to reduce hard-to-recycle waste and promote a circular economy.
- Convenient Participation: Consumers can easily register and download a free shipping label to send used razors and packaging in a secure box back to TerraCycle, simplifying the recycling process and enhancing consumer engagement.
- Environmental Impact: The program ensures that plastics are processed into pellets for products like park benches and decking, while metals are smelted into base materials, reducing reliance on landfills and incinerators, reflecting Edgewell's commitment to sustainability.
- Brand Value Enhancement: This initiative not only showcases Edgewell's leadership in sustainability but also strengthens consumer loyalty by providing a convenient recycling option that aligns with modern consumers' environmental expectations.
