Guiding Businesses into a New Era of Recycling

Providing consumers with recycling and disposal messaging is not as simple as putting “please recycle” on a package. For companies that make products or packaging, it’s time to take responsibility for what happens at end-of-life. Manufacturers are expected to understand the environmental impact of what they produce and lead consumers and retailers toward a proper disposal or recycling option when a product is no longer viable.

Earth911 operates North America’s largest and most accurate directory of local recycling and proper disposal options for consumers through multiple platforms, including the award-winning web site, Earth911.com, iRecycle® mobile applications, and the 1-800-CLEANUP® environmental hotline. The recycling directory indexes over 1 million ways to recycle 300 types of materials.

Learn how to use the Earth911 Recycling Directory as a resource to reach your consumers who are actively looking for ways to recycling products and packaging.
