Recycling Rebate
What is the Recycling Rebate?
Waistlab is currently transitioning to a more eco-friendly company, and we hope to give back to the environment to the best of our abilities. We understand that after many of you successfully downsize, your previous waist trainer will not be used.
Let us help by gifting you a discount on the spot when you come over to warehouse, while we recycle the waist trainer’s parts after you bring it back to us.
How do I participate in your Recycling Rebate?
1) Please DM us on Instagram @waistlab.co or WhatsApp +65 9852 5456 for an appointment before making your way to the warehouse.
We are located at 1093 Lower Delta Road 03-11 Singapore 169204.
2) Bring your Waistlab waist trainer that you wish to recycle. Please prepare your order number as well.
Important points to note:
- Only waist trainers bought from Waistlab after June 2019 are eligible for the Recycling Rebate.
- You will need to trade-in for a new waist trainer on the spot.
- Recycling Rebate is not applicable for Waistlab Wear or waist trainers not from Waistlab.
How much is the discount?
It will be $5 off for every waist trainer that you trade in. Please note that you’ll have to purchase a new waist trainer at the same time that you’ll be trading in.
Can I just mail my old waist trainer to you guys instead and get the discount code?
You'll only be able to enjoy the rebate if you book an appointment at our warehouse.

Can I use my cash vouchers with other in-store offers and promotions?
Yes, you can!
For example, if there’s a 10% discount sale and you intend to buy a Classic 11 that retails for $89, that means it’ll cost $80.10. If you have a $10 cash voucher, use it and you’ll only pay $70.10!
Can I combine my cash voucher with other discount codes or free shipping codes?
Currently, only one discount code can be used upon checkout :(
Can I combine my cash voucher with your Recyling Rebate?
Unfortunately, it cannot be combined :(
Can I collect WOWPoints if I pay using Atome?
Yes, you can! You’ll receive your WOWPoints in full from the first deduction.
For example, you intend to buy a Classic 11 that retails for $89. If you pay using Atome (i.e 3 monthly installments) and use a $10 WOWReward, that means it’ll cost $79. Split across 3 monthly installments, this means you’ll only pay $26.40 per month.
