And what exactly lies behind this movement? In our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairsquared.com\/en\/fair-squared-meets-zero-waste\/\">journal<\/a>, we\u2019d like to explain to anyone who\u2019s curious how it came about that, as a natural cosmetics manufacturer, we felt it was our duty to do something about the global waste crisis. And how it\u2019s possible to build a sensible system using glass as a raw material. Here, we\u2019d like to show you just how easy it is to become part of the reusable movement. Choose natural cosmetics in the reusable system!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>We fill the jars ourselves and put them on sale.<\/strong> You\u2019ll find our range of skincare products in organic shops, health food shops and fair-trade shops, as well as in pharmacies, and increasingly in zero-waste shops too. If you can\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for there, or if you prefer to shop online, head over to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fair2.me\/\">online shop<\/a>!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Once the jars are empty, we\u2019ll take them back.<\/strong> You can return them directly to the retailer or, for quantities of 10 or more (regardless of the type of container \u2013 glass jar, glass bottle or metal tin), send them back to us. We\u2019d just ask you to give them a quick rinse before you send them back. As a thank you, we\u2019ll give you a \u20ac10 voucher for your next purchase at fair2.me. For retailers taking part in the reusable system, we\u2019ve come up with a different approach; we\u2019ve also summarised the <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.fairsquared.info\/de\/infos\/zero-waste\">details<\/a> for you here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The empty containers are now sent for cleaning.<\/strong> We have a partner who removes any remaining cream residues from the jars and prepares them in accordance with current hygiene regulations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>They can now be refilled with the popular FAIR SQUARED products.<\/strong> As we have opted for a reusable system, the cleaned jars are now returned to the filling process. If the lids and rubber inserts are undamaged, we can reuse them too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The reusable products go back on sale.<\/strong> Once each container has been refilled with the relevant product, it finds its way back onto the shelves to delight new customers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n              \n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still questions unanswered?
