Boots makes major change which gives shoppers more Advantage Card points

Boots and No7 are collaborating on a scheme that allows shoppers to gain more Boots Advantage Card points.

The brands announced their recycling scheme back in September, which has now recycled more than one tonne of plastic in less than two months.

The initiative asks shoppers to recycle their empty health, beauty and wellness products - including those not stocked at Boots.

Shoppers are then rewarded with £5 worth of Advantage Card points for every five products deposited.

Among the top products to be deposited are toothpaste, mascara and handwash, reports the Mirror.

Customers can sign up to the scheme via Scan2Recycle technology.

To find your nearest recycling bank visit the Boots website.

The deposited products are sent to Boots recycling partner, ReWorked, where they are formed into new items such as reusable storage containers.

Joanna Rogers, commercial director & VP, Beauty & Gifting at Boots UK said: “Our customers are more aware than ever before of their impact on the environment and they are taking proactive steps to mitigate this.

“At Boots we are constantly challenging ourselves to do more, and as part of our commitment to becoming a more sustainable business we’re super excited to see the impact this scheme has had in such a short period of time.”
