When Boie USA first started, we knew we needed to use a recyclable material for our Body & Face Scrubbers—definitely easier said than done. After doing lots (and lots and lots) of research, we settled on TPE, a type of plastic that can be melted down and reformed again and again.
To start the recycling process, however, we needed our customers to send us their old Scrubbers, which took a while since Boie products last a very long time. But now in 2026, we’ve been going strong for 5 years, and you’ve helped us save an estimated 8,000 Scrubbers from landfills!
So, what happens to your recycled products?
Our factory sanitizes the used items, freezes them to easily break them apart, and then mixes the recycled material with new material. We’re currently using recycled TPE in the production of our bathroom Hook, each of which is about 10% recycled material.
The goal is to have enough old items to recycle that we can start incorporating recycled material into more products.
