Recyclability Designations

Additional Label Questions

  • Why is a standardized labeling system important?

    The How2Recycle program provides the disposal instructions consumers need in one concise label. Transparency from brands is crucial for consumers to understand their packages and have more success disposing of them properly.

  • Why do you put a label on items that are Not Yet Recyclable?

    It’s just as important to communicate with consumers what isn’t recyclable. The Not Yet Recyclable label keeps packages that can’t be recycled out of the recycling stream, reducing contamination and improving the quality of recycled material. If you find a Not Yet Recyclable label on a package, this item belongs in the trash.

Canadian Labels

  • Is this program available in Canada?

    Yes, the How2Recycle program is available in Canada. Please explore our site to learn about the differences in our program between the US and Canada.

  • Why can’t I find a Store Drop-off location in Canada?

    Store Drop-off for PE packages is only available in the US. Packages assigned the Store Drop-off label in the US are eligible for Widely Recyclable designations in Canada. In this case, place these packages in a curbside or drop-off bin.

The Multi-Component Label

Multi-component labels explain how to recycle each component of a package. Recyclability designations can vary between the US & Canada; follow the instructions specific to your country.

Let’s break down this label:

US: recycle the paper box and paper insert in your curbside recycling bin or drop-off program. Recycle the plastic bag at a Store Drop-off location near you if it is clean & dry.

CAN: recycle the paper box, paper insert, and plastic bag in your curbside bin or drop-off program.
