What is How2Recycle?

How2Recycle is a labeling system that clearly communicates disposal instructions. We break down what the label’s three sections mean for you, below.  

1. Type of material (e.g. plastic, glass, metal) and packaging format (e.g. bottle, tube, box)
2. Degree of recyclability (widely recycled, check locally, not yet recycled, or store drop-off) 
3. How to prepare the product for recycling (e.g. empty and discard cap) 

You will see product-specific labels on applicable product web pages on Beautycounter.com and, eventually, phased into our packaging. Maybe you’ve seen the labels before – many companies have adopted the system, and we’re helping to lead the way in the beauty industry!
