MAC cares about the environment and takes back it's primary packaging to recycle the plastic and materials to re-use for new packaging. In exchange, of you returning the primary packages you get something free, usually lipstick or anything else of your choice. This is their way of thanking you for returning your primary packaging.
I believe that this MAC program is very unique and eco-friendly, which is always a good thing for our environment. I am looking forward to trying this "back-2-MAC recycling program".

Sustainabilitiy
Many businesses now a days are becoming more eco-friendly to the environment. For example, within the past 2 years Purell water bottles has changed their caps to become flat, and eco-friendly. Also, many stores are charging consumers extra money to buy plastic bags when they shop. This encourages consumers to use and bring their own shopping bags. An example of this would be Chapters, they usually do not give out bags anymore, and when they do they charge and extra ten cents.
The Corporation, business ethics, and social responsibilities
It is important that a business is aware of their social responsibilities and business ethics. Businesses should contribute by making an impact on the community or the world. I believe that a business should not only think about making profits, but to also give back to the community while making profits. I also think that it is highly unacceptable for a business to do outrageous things to harm the environment and community.
An example of how a business has harmed the environment and the community would be The Corporation. This business hires young children who are very poor that are willing to work to support their family, while getting paid below minimum wage. Some businesses have deals where a partial amount of funds would be donated to the less fortunate children. I think that this is a way of how businesses try to generate and increase their profit. They make a lot of profit because they pay children at a very low minimum wage while they make triple the profit of the amount they pay the workers.
It is important that business use their resources usefully rather than putting them to waste. I think that certain business should share their resources with other countries who are less fortunate. This would be considered a good social responsibility.
