A SECOND LIFE
For over 30 years, Back-To-M·A·C has recycled or recovered your used product packaging and, where possible, given the old plastic a second life. What cannot be recycled is converted to energy.

GOING BEYOND
OUR PRODUCTS

Our plastic efforts go beyond our products.
We are proud to donate $100,000 to
Plastics for Change to enable the collection of
over 550,000 pounds of plastic (equivalent to
12,500,000 plastic bottles!) from our planet
while supporting approximately 200 plastic
collectors and their communities for one year
with a host of social services.
