To help the consumer understand what and how to recycle product, we encourage you (our customers) to participate in the How2Recycle® initiative. It’s a great way to encourage consumer recycling and assists in making sure that the right material is being placed in their recycling bins.
It also helps keep the wrong material out of the recycling bins. We want to make it easy for you. Below we highlight goals, benefits and examples of the How2Recycle® initiative. We can even assist in completing the necessary forms required to register SKUs.

What is it?
How2Recycle® is a standardized labeling system that clearly communicates recycling instructions to the public. It involves a coalition of forward thinking brands who want their packaging to be recycled and are empowering consumers through smart packaging labels. How2Recycle® has signed up over 230 partners and the list continues to grow. For a full list please reference www.how2recycle.info.
How2Recycle® Goals
• Reduce confusion by creating a clear, well-understood, and nationally harmonized label that enables companies to convey to consumers how to recycle a specific package.
• Improve the reliability, completeness, and transparency of recyclability claims.
• Provide a labeling system that follows Federal Trade Commission Green Guides.
• Increase the availability and quality of recycled material.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1560369080221{margin-top: 45px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
