How2Recycle® – The Official Source for Recycling Icons

The How2Recycle® label is a standardized labeling system that clearly communicates packaging recycling instructions to the public. It is the only label program that can supply the official How2Recycle icon for your brand packaging.

The retail industry is moving toward mandating labels that provide consumers clear and easy recycling information. By offering a recyclable shrink film label for store drop-off, you are well-positioned to meet retailers’ goals for improved communication and sustainability.

Approved for the How2Recycle® Store Drop-Off Label

To use the official Store Drop-Off and other recycling logos on consumer packaging, companies must first be members of How2Recycle®. Then, individual packaging materials must be evaluated for logo use.

Clysar® EVO™, EVOX™, EVO-C™, EVO™ ShrinkBox® and ULTRA LEG™ shrink films have received official preapproval letters from How2Recycle for the Store Drop-Off recycling label. This prequalification letter makes it significantly faster and easier to obtain permissions to use the label icons.

Shrink films that are not approved for the Store Drop-Off label may have to submit to vigorous testing by independent labs to ensure the film meets the requirements of the recycling stream. Films that do not meet these requirements are only eligible to use the “Not Yet Recycled” icon.

Note every package application still requires final authorization for label use.
