How to Recycle IKOU PackagingUpdated 3 months ago

How to Recycle IKOU Packaging

At IKOU, we're continually working toward more mindful packaging choices and encouraging responsible disposal where possible. Every small action adds up — and we're grateful you're thinking about it too.

General Recycling Guide

Recycling guidelines can vary depending on your local council — always check what's accepted in your area before recycling.

Glass Bottles & Jars

  • Rinse thoroughly where possible before placing in recycling
  • Remove pumps, droppers, or lids if required by your local recycling guidelines — these are often made from mixed materials and may need to be separated

Cardboard Packaging

  • Flatten all cardboard boxes and outer packaging
  • Place in your household recycling where accepted by your local council

Plastic Components

Some pumps, caps, and mixed-material packaging components — such as dispenser heads and spray nozzles — may not be recyclable through standard kerbside systems.

If in doubt, check with your local council recycling guidelines or explore specialised recycling programs available in your area that accept mixed-material packaging.


Reuse & Repurpose

Before recycling, consider giving your IKOU packaging a second life. Many of our customers love to:

  • Reuse glass jars for storage — cotton pads, hair ties, small items, or even as a candle holder
  • Repurpose boxes for gifting, wrapping, or organisation
  • Explore specialised recycling programs in your area for components that can't go in kerbside recycling

Our Commitment

As packaging technology continues to evolve, we remain committed to exploring more sustainable, responsible solutions across the IKOU range. We believe that beautiful products and environmental care can — and should — go hand in hand.
