Clarifying the Definition of “Recyclable”
PPC recently participated in the How2Recycle Summit, gaining valuable insights into the organization’s next strategic steps and how our industry can work with them to improve packaging, sustainability, and recyclability. For our members, particularly manufacturers and packaging designers, the Summit revealed insights into the definition of recyclability as well as opportunities to engage with How2Recycle.
“How2Recycle Forward” Campaign: A Strategic Evolution
The highlight of the Summit was How2Recycle’s introduction of the ‘How2Recycle Forward” campaign, a fresh strategic initiative designed to enhance the effectiveness of their labeling and data systems. As part of this campaign, they are launching a label design refresh to make recyclability information clearer to consumers. This effort is not happening in isolation—How2Recycle is actively working with industry groups, including PPC, to help harmonize data ecosystems and conduct third-party audits aimed at improving transparency and accountability in the recycling system.
