The V-Spot + TerraCycle

Feel like saving 20% off your next order with The V Spot? We've got your back. All you need to do is fill a shoebox-sized container with the packaging for all your beauty, fashion and lifestyle products that can't go in your kerbside recycling bin. Too easy!

The V-Spot has partnered with TerraCycle, an innovative recycling company that has become a global leader in recycling hard-to-recycle materials. We recycle them for you, using the TerraCycle Zero Waste Box™ solution. The products you send us will be shipped to TerraCycle where they are converted into plastic granules and then upcycled into new products such as outdoor furniture.

Let's get started

1. Prepare your old packaging

We are a tiny team, so before you send your shoebox to us, we respectfully ask the following criteria be met:

  • Can we recycle it? Be sure to read the information above to work out if we can recycle it for you. Please send only what we can recycle.
  • Make sure the package is clean and dry: Residue of beauty products in packaging means we can't recycle them. Be sure to give your empty packaging a clean before you post it to us. Don't post it if it's wet. Always ensure the empty packaging is dry before you box it up.
  • Categorise: We'd love it if you could do your best to ensure all items are separated into categories. This will help us better distribute for effective and efficient recycling.

2. Post to us

Post your box of recycling to us to receive 20% off your next order! Please be sure to include your name, email address and enough recycling to fill your shoe box.

Post to:

3. Get your 20% discount code

Once we receive your box of products to recycle, we will send you an email with your unique 20% off discount code.
