What to do with PP pumps clear

Pact Collective

We have done many things in order to make our products and packaging as low waste and plastic-free as possible. Not only can you refill and reuse our aluminum bottles many times, but those bottles can also be recycled once they have a few too many dents in them. And being aluminum, they can be recycled and reused an infinite number of times. Even our shipping boxes are reused multiple times before they are recycled at the end of their life.
But there is just this one thing...our pumps. Yes, they’re plastic. And no, we haven’t found or designed a plastic-free pump, yet. (If you’ve got any ideas, we’re all ears!) Most municipal recycling programs do not accept pumps like ours in your recycling bin. And while you don’t necessarily need a pump, it definitely makes using our products easier and more convenient. It also extends the life of the products because you typically don’t use as much when using the pump. Plus, we ask that you reuse your pumps with each new refill bottle.
So, what to do with your Plaine Products pumps when they are no longer reusable? Enter Pact Collective, a nonprofit that’s working to make sure as much hard-to-recycle beauty and makeup packaging is recycled as possible, and working to move companies to more sustainable recycled and reusable packaging. Plaine Products is now a proud member of the Pact Collective!
Plaine Products customers can now drop off broken pumps or pumps you are no longer using into Pact bins at Credo Beauty stores in the US or Hudson’s Bay stores across Canada. Or you can mail them back to us with your empty bottles and we can mail them to Pact in bulk. Please make sure they are clean first! Only clean pumps have a chance to be recycled properly. 
Pact works with specialty recycling partners to sort the material by hand, breaking down mixed materials into their various components as needed. The sorted materials are then sold to end-buyers so they can achieve their highest and best use.
The truth of it is, the majority of beauty products are not recycled properly, if at all. That’s over 120 billion beauty packages annually that have a massive environmental impact. Pact is working to change that, by providing a sustainable option for hard-to-recycle beauty packaging and working with beauty companies to improve the recyclability of their products. So, gather all of your clean, empty, pumps and other hard-to-recycle beauty packagings and drop them into a Pact bin near you. We’re proud to be working with Pact to increase the recycling of beauty packaging and working towards more sustainable packaging throughout the beauty industry.

Plaine Products & Orange County Coastkeeper: Making Waves for Earth Day

After the incredible enthusiasm and success of our Holiday Sale beach cleanup campaign, we knew we had to do it again—this time for Earth Day! The Holiday Sale campaign showed us just how much our community values sustainability and real-world impact. For every order placed during our Earth Day Sale (April 21-24, 2025), we’ve partnered with Orange County Coastkeeper to remove one pound of trash from our environment. Together, we’re turning sustainable shopping into tangible action.   Protecting Our Waters with Orange County Coastkeeper Orange County Coastkeeper is a nonprofit clean water organization dedicated to protecting swimmable, drinkable, and fishable water while promoting watershed resilience throughout the region. Their mission aligns perfectly with ours - keeping plastic out of our oceans and landfills to create a cleaner, healthier planet. Through education, advocacy, restoration, research, enforcement, and conservation, Orange County Coastkeeper actively works to safeguard fresh- and saltwater ecosystems. Their efforts ensure that communities have healthy, accessible, and sustainable water resources for generations to come. By hosting this Earth Day cleanup in Orange County, they’re not only removing trash but also inspiring action and awareness about the importance of protecting our waterways.   Why This Matters to Plaine Products At Plaine Products, we believe that small actions lead to big impacts. Our commitment to using refillable aluminum bottles instead of plastic shampoo bottles helps reduce waste before it even begins. By keeping single-use plastics out of circulation, we’re cutting down on pollution, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting a circular economy. Partnering with Orange County Coastkeeper for this Earth Day campaign was a natural extension of our mission. By combining our refillable products with hands-on environmental action, we’re tackling the plastic waste problem from both ends - reducing future waste while cleaning up the past.   What’s Next? Our work doesn’t stop here. Plaine Products is committed to continuing our mission of reducing waste and supporting sustainability. Whether it’s through future cleanup initiatives, ongoing partnerships with like-minded organizations, or simply encouraging others to embrace refillable solutions, we’re in this for the long haul.   Together, we can make waves—not just on Earth Day, but every day. 🌎💙
