Number of Private Brands Using How2Recycle Jumps Thanks to Walmart
The How2Recycle Label has jumped in membership numbers thanks to the support of Walmart. This year, the retail giant has encouraged its private label suppliers to use labeling that helps consumers understand how to recycle their product. By joining How2Recycle, suppliers are able to use the program's on-package recycling label to communicate to consumers how to recycle different types of packaging.
"We believe a best practice is to use labeling that helps customers recycle, such as the How2Recycle label, to communicate the recyclability of a package. The How2Recycle label is also a great conversational tool between merchants and suppliers to discuss if a package is designed with recyclability in mind." Jack Pestello, SVP, Private Brands, Walmart U.S.
