During the COVID-19 pandemic, Gardners, Pa.-based grower-shipper Rice Fruit Co. has sharpened its focus on sustainable packaging, said Brenda Briggs, vice president of sales and marketing.
“Over the summer, we joined the How2Recycle Program and are currently adding the How2Recyle label to select packaging,” she said.
How2Recycle, from the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, is a label applied to product packaging that informs consumers how to “recycle accurately and where to go if they need to find information specific to their municipality,” according to the coalition.
“We are proud to work in partnership with How2Recycle to empower consumers to make sustainable choices when disposing of waste,” Briggs said.
“We hope by adding a consumer-friendly recycling label to our packaging, we will support the effort to increase the rate of recycled materials.”
