Understanding Our Unique Perfume Recycling Method
Recycling perfume liquids involves a specialised process to safely handle and repurpose the liquid components. Here’s what makes our low cost.
Separation of Liquid and Packaging: Perfume bottles, often made of glass or plastic, are separated from their liquid contents. The bottles are carefully emptied to avoid contamination.
Liquid Collection and Containment: The extracted perfume liquids are collected in secure containers, such as drums or Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), to prevent leaks or spills. This is crucial since perfume contains alcohol and other volatile compounds.
Alcohol Recovery and Distillation: The perfume liquids often contain high levels of ethanol and other alcohols, which can be recovered through a distillation process at our external waste recovery partner site. This recovered alcohol can be repurposed for industrial uses, such as cleaning agents or fuel additives.
Wastewater Treatment: The remaining non-recyclable liquid components are treated in a specialised wastewater treatment facility to neutralise any harmful chemicals, preventing environmental contamination.
Material Disposal: Depending on the composition of the perfume, other non-recyclable components can be safely disposed of through other processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most effective way to obtain a quote?
For an accurate quote on disposing of cosmetics or beauty products, please send us a rough list or photos of the types of items, along with their estimated weight and description of the contents.
Our company has classified these products as defective and requires their secure destruction to ensure they do not reach the market.
At Quality Waste, we specialise in the secure destruction and recycling of products. Our unique recycling methods ensure that all materials are properly recycled and destroyed. Our in-house team of specialists carefully unpacks and sorts the contents by material type, such as glass, plastic, liquid type, and solid type. Liquids are collected into drums and IBCs, allowing for successful recycling. Each material is then shredded and processed into raw forms, contributing to environmental sustainability. Unlike other companies that shred everything into a mixed material pile destined for landfill, we focus on effective recycling to minimise waste and reduce environmental impact. For added piece of mind we include a Free Destruction Certificate and material report at completion.
Our products are distributed nationwide, and it would be ideal for them to be collected and securely destroyed.
If this is the case, it’s not an issue. Our team is happy to provide a quote for collections from any location. We operate nationwide, 7 days a week, and can efficiently remove products from circulation without any hassle.
Can we place everything on one pallet or in an IBC and mix the contents?
Yes, that’s fine. However, please inform us if there are any flammable items included. Additionally, keep in mind that stacking heavy pallets can be unsafe; we recommend avoiding stacks over 400kg per pallet. Your quote is based on the estimated total combined weight, not the number of pallets."
