I will keep this short, as I know you have many other things vying for your time — last minute shopping, wrapping gifts, watching ball games, going to religious services, etc. But this article, from a Resource Recycling newsletter, I thought would be worth your time. It describes how one organization is trying to help you recycle.
Two-hundred brand owners and retailers are now using the How2Recycle labels on their product packaging, according to the article. A How2Recycle label, simply put, provides more detailed recycling information to consumers than the traditional chasing arrows symbol we all know.
“While labeling packaging for recyclability certainly won’t solve all our problems in how we use, value and manage materials in society, telling people how to actually recycle is frankly the least we can do,” a spokesperson said. “We are thrilled that so many companies share this belief and together we can empower people to recycle more accurately.”
