Mandy Moore is what's known in Hollywood as a triple threat: an actor, singer, and recycler. Yes, the third descriptor typically applies to dancers, but ever since becoming a Garnier brand ambassador, her recycling skills are poised to become the stuff of legend, all thanks to Garnier's "Rinse, Recycle, Repeat" campaign in collaboration with DoSomething.org. And she's speaking out to encourage others to correctly recycle their empty beauty product packaging.

"Recycling has been a practice since the ‘80s, but I still know plenty of people who don’t have it as part of their routine," Moore tells us. "It’s been in my life for as long as I can remember, but when you hear the staggering statistic that only half of Americans recycle their beauty and self-care products, it’s pretty mind-blowing how much waste that actually accounts for in landfills."

A big factor in the woefully low number of empties being recycled, Moore says, is a lack of knowledge about what can and can't be recycled and the right way to go about recycling certain types of packaging. "Before I became a part of Garnier's 'Rinse, Recycle, Repeat' campaign, I was recycling things that aren’t technically recyclable, that can’t be collected in the regular collection," she admits, which is why why the campaign is so important: it not only gets the word out about the right way to recycle things like conditioner bottles and moisturizer jars, it's also the world’s first-ever beauty recycling program that facilitates the collection and recycling of beauty empties that otherwise cannot be recycled for free.
