Even if they can’t name our organization, when they see our label, they see what they perceive as helpful disposal instructions." Our Executive Director Paul Nowak wrote on the topic for Recycling Today; read on and leave your comments below! https://lnkd.in/gSev23EA

As the #recycling landscape changes and #consumers grapple with confusion around disposal, our How2Recycle Forward campaign is meeting the moment. The campaign comprises four key initiatives: 1️⃣ Refreshing our label design 2️⃣ Strengthening our data ecosystem 3️⃣ Optimizing our operations 4️⃣ Empowering consumers to make informed disposal decisions The How2Recycle Pro label has been refreshed to be more clear, actionable, and compliant to ensure accuracy no matter when- or where a label is issued. Pending legislative review, the label will soon be available to How2Recycle members in their member portal. We’re also offering members the opportunity to adopt a dynamic QR code label, How2Recycle Plus featuring Recycle Check. This label utilizes data from The Recycling Partnership’s National Recycling Database to provide consumers with localized disposal instructions, and is available to members now! "On-pack labeling needs to evolve with the world around us," ... And right now, we can come together with our 800 members to build a better label and a better #recycling #system. Catch our Executive Director Paul Nowak at TRP's Pivot event today, where he will discuss key elements of this campaign! https://lnkd.in/gWimmabt #How2RecycleForward #How2RecyclePro #How2RecyclePlus #RecycleCheck #ThePivot2024
