But this week, in celebration of America Recycles Week, the nonprofit organization BeautyRecycled is rolling out a new recycling program in selected beauty salons to collect and recycle beauty product containers. And through a new partnership with Aerosolv, the group will even be able to safely recycle aerosol cans collected from beauty salons as part of this new effort.

BeautyRecycled launched this past year to spread the spirit of sustainability throughout the beauty world through ambitious industry-wide initiatives promoting environmental consciousness, landfill avoidance and green growth opportunities.

Aerosolv has partnered with BeautyRecycled, bringing their aerosol can recycling technology to beauty salons as part of a new initiative, Aerosolv Nation, which enlists community members, businesses and sustainability advocates to pledge to promote proper aerosol can recycling.
