The goal
NOTHING ENDS UP
IN LANDFILL.
Sangria Beauty is built around one north star: salon-quality press-on nails that leave behind as little as possible. Plant-based PLA instead of ABS plastic. Paper-based packaging designed to recycle curbside. A cleaner choice for your nails, your body, and where your nails end up.
We're early. The specific end-of-life pathways, partnerships, and certifications below are in progress. This page is the blueprint we're building toward, not finished claims.
How it's designed to work
TWO CLEAN STREAMS.
Stream 01
PLA NAILS → COMPOST
- 01Drop your used nails into a composting stream that accepts PLA
- 02Heat and moisture begin breaking the PLA polymer chains
- 03Microorganisms consume the fragments over time
- 04End result: CO₂, water, and humus, a soil nutrient
Stream 02
PACKAGING → CURBSIDE
- 01Kraft outer mailer → paper recycling
- 02Recycled grey board sleeve → paper recycling
- 03Moulded pulp tray → paper recycling
- 04Insert card → paper recycling
- 05Glass nail file → glass recycling (or keep forever)
Closing the loop with
PARTNERS (PENDING).
These are the organizations we're targeting to close the loop. Conversations are underway. We'll confirm each partnership here as it's signed.
PACT COLLECTIVE
PendingBeauty industry's hard-to-recycle take-back program. The plan: sponsor drop-off points so customers can return packaging.
COMPOSTNOW
PendingResidential and commercial composting pickup. A potential pathway for end-of-life PLA collection.
US COMPOSTING COUNCIL
PendingNationwide directory of composting facilities. The backbone of any consumer-facing drop-off map.
A note on certifications
STILL EARNING THEM.
We're not claiming a specific compost timeline or a certification we haven't earned yet. As we lock in lab results, third-party testing, and partner facilities, we'll publish them right here, with the documentation to back them up.
