Brands that are easy to recycle?

MAC takes their packaging back for recycling.
They even encourage it by giving people a free lipstick for each six containers they return

Lush has a similar program, bring in 5 pots for a free face mask:

others accept their stuff back for recycling as well, including Origins, Kiehl's and Aveda

Or, you could go the old school route and try to find refillable compacts/palettes, where most of the non-product gets reused.

Brands to consider that do this:

Jane Iredale
Estee Lauder
NARS

I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones I could find on a quick search.

I was also going to recommend Lush, which is also CF.
