How does the Rawkanvas recycling program works?
Keep your RAWKANVAS shipping packaging, or utilize another box you have spare at home and start filling it up with an empty bottle/jars/pumps and product boxes from your RAWKANVAS products.
Rinse out your containers to make sure they are clean and free of any residual product.
Package any of your RAWKANVAS bottle/jars/pumps and product boxes you have in the RAWKANVAS shipping box (or another box) and use any junk mail you may have to lay around to cushion the bottles and prevent breakage during shipping.
Write your name, mobile number, and email address on a piece of paper and put it in the shipping box. Tape your box up, head to the post office, and send it via an Australia Post Regular Prepaid Satchel.
Once they receive your parcel of recycled RAWKANVAS bottles/jars, they will email you with a $10AUD credit to put towards your next RAWKANVAS purchase.
