Lets do better together
La-Bek Send-Back Recycling Program
La-Bek Send-Back Recycling Program
We’re proud to introduce the La-Bek Send-Back Recycling Program — a simple, thoughtful way to reduce waste and keep your beauty routine a little greener.
This program allows you to collect your La-Bek waste and send it back to us to be recycled through TerraCycle®. It’s just one more way we’re committing to sustainability, without compromising on beautiful nails.
Why We’re Doing This The beauty industry has a serious waste problem, and semi-cured gel nails are no exception. But with small changes, we can do better. This is just one of the ways we’re reducing waste, rethinking packaging, and committing to a more sustainable future.
Thank you for helping us close the loop — and for being part of something better.
With gratitude,
The La-Bek Team
How It Works
Collect
Collect your used La-Bek packaging (see below for what’s accepted).
Store
Store it in one of our resealable mailers (they have a second seal strip so you can reuse them!)
Post
Post it back to us at:
La-Bek Returns Recycling Program
1/33A Dava Drive
Mornington VIC 3931
Please Note: Customers cover postage at this stage, but we’re working towards a subsidised return system soon.
What You Can Send Back:
– Protective film from nail strips
– The black slip packaging the strips come in
– Backing sheet from nail strips
– Empty cuticle oil pens
– The clear plastic slip from our file/cuticle tool packs
What You Cannot Send Back:
– Used nail strips, Nail files or cuticle tools (these are considered contaminated waste and cannot be processed)
– Prep pads (these are being phased out)
– Any non-La-Bek branded items
What About Unused Nail Strips?
If you have leftover nail strips that you won’t be using, you can include them in your return — but we strongly encourage you to use them up instead! Strips can be trimmed, stretched, shared with friends or used on your toes.
