About

The Recycle at Boots Scheme is operated by Boots UK Limited (“Boots”) and Boots Retail (Ireland) Limited (“Boots ROI “) using Scan2Recycle technology.

It is aimed exclusively at recycling hard-to-recycle beauty, health, and wellness product packaging for example, products that are too small (such as travel minis), made of composite materials (eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, floss dispensers), or unrecyclable materials (toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes) and blister packs which cannot typically be recycled through household kerbside collections.

We do not accept widely recyclable card and paper packaging, glass jars, aluminium packaging, shampoo and conditioner bottles, shower gel plastic bottles etc. because they can be recycled via household waste recycling channels, please check your local council for details on how to recycle these items.

The Scheme rewards Boots Advantage Card members with Advantage Card points when they spend £10 or more for recycling a minimum number of qualifying Items.

How does the Scheme work?

To participate in the scheme, you will need to sign up for a Boots Scan2Recycle account

Once the account is created, follow these steps:

Upload images of eligible Recyclables into your account - for a full list of eligible recyclables see the accounts page – ‘Recyclable Types’.

Go to 'Recyclables'

Select 'Add Recyclables' and take a picture of the product (pictures must be of the whole product with the brand and product name shown - do not upload pictures of the barcode)

Use the drop-down select to label your items with the brand, product, and packaging type

Images are reviewed and verified within 24 hours Monday - Friday, excluding UK public holidays.

Once these are verified you will see them in your approved section in 'Recyclables', they are ready to deposit.

To deposit the items:

Step 1 - Visit a participating store

Step 2 - Scan the QR code on the applicable scheme recycling points in a participating store

Step 3 - Select at least 5 items to deposit in one go

Step 4 - Confirm the deposit by selecting deposit on the screen

Step 5 - Deposit items



The deposit will be verified, and if successful you will receive the reward voucher in your account.

If you don't see the reward voucher immediately, try refreshing the page and check the 'deposits' section in your account.

If the deposit wasn't approved, check your email including junk/spam folders for an email from us, stating why.



What happens to the products that are recycled?

All packaging that is deposited goes to our recycling partner, MYgroup, who are based in the UK to be recycled, reused, or reformed into new products.

Materials received are made into other products, such as street furniture or shop fittings. They also go into material called 'MYboard'. Originally designed as a replacement for wooden plyboards to help reduce the demand and overuse of forestry products, this versatile material is now used in a huge array of products by many joiners, shop fitters, building merchants, and general home use.

MYgroup offers full traceability - a key element in protecting our seas and environment from plastic waste. We guarantee that nothing will end up in landfill or incineration.

The Story so far

Since the launch of Recycle at Boots back in 2020, the scheme has recovered over 145 tonnes of hard-to-recycle plastic, that’s more plastic than a house, or 30 Elephants, and issued over 520 thousand rewards to its users.

We have saved 2.9 million products from landfill and incineration. Our technology provides full traceability and reporting of items received, meaning every item is accounted for from the moment of deposit to re-manufacture.
