COVINGTON, Ky. – Finally, there’s a recycling label that does not come with so much confusion.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, the “chasing arrows” symbol (the triangle surrounding a numeral) was actually a manufacturing label that reflected the type of plastic resin used in the product – not whether it could be recycled.

But the new “How2Recycle” label tells friends of the environment exactly what we need to know:

• Whether a package can be recycled.
• Whether the material needs to be prepared and how (i.e. rinsed out or lid removed).
• What parts can be recycled.
• What type of recycling material it is (such as plastic, glass etc.). 

Check out one such label for yourself: https://how2recycle.info/

Now THIS is one such label we don’t mind reading.
