♻♻ Despite recycling labels, recycling rates remain low. Nonprofit GreenBlue Org rolled out How2Recycle® (H2R) in 2012 "to get more materials in the recycling bin by taking the guesswork out of recycling". Over the years, the initiative has garnered support from more than 500 renowned brands, including industry giants like Coca-Cola, Clorox, and General Mills. With thousands of labeled packages circulating across the United States and Canada, H2R has made significant strides in guiding consumers on proper recycling practices. Despite these efforts, the surge in recycling rates hasn't been as substantial as hoped. One significant challenge lies in the varying recycling policies from state to state and city to city. Additionally, there's a crucial missing piece: H2R currently lacks data on whether consumers are adhering to the provided labels or if the materials are ending up in the correct recycling bins. Addressing these gaps is vital to amplifying the impact of this initiative.
