REN Skincare is passionate about creating products that minimize waste and its newest skincare pop-up in the UK underlines this core value. The new Bicester Village space prominently features repurposed and recycled materials from an old bingo hall and paper mill. Inside the pop-up, visitors will see shelving units made from recycled black plastic, a payment counter made from an art crate and pieces of repurposed timber. Also inside the pop-up, REN is making the most of materials from its Wilderness festival pop-up and plans to reuse these items again for a future event.
Earlier in the year, REN Skincare joined forces with TerraCycle to use post-consumer recycled plastic for its packaged products, and it now offers refillable options for some of its top-selling products.
