Nylex is doing its bit to support recycling

We know that Australians care about recycling, we do too! We also know that understanding what can be recycled can be confusing, and we want to help. That’s why we have made the commitment to re-design our on-pack communication to incorporate the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) to ensure that our customers can understand the true recyclability of all packaging components that they are disposing of after purchasing our products.

The ARL has been endorsed by all Australian governments to help make recycling easier. Led by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) in partnership with Planet Ark and PREP Design, the Australasian Recycling Label Program aims to significantly reduce consumer confusion, increase recycling recovery rates and contribute to cleaner recycling streams. The label provides Australians with easy-to-understand recycling information when you need it most.  It makes it easier for you to put the right packaging in the right bin, saving time and reducing the amount of waste going to landfill.

Here at Nylex HQ, we sure get excited when we see the ARL on other products, and make a conscious effort now to separate each material and put them in the right bin. So keep an eye out for the ARL on our products and others in all industries. It is certainly a step in the right direction to better educate on true recyclability of materials and encourage improved consumer recycling behaviour. If your business has yet to sign on to the Packaging Recycling Label Program then we would encourage you to talk to APCO today.
