As a member of the Circular Plastics Alliance, they would like to ensure that their products end up at the right place in order to recycle as much of their packaging as possible. Bring awareness of the recycling possibilities of their products. They expect to reduce the number of used products to end up as landfill or being incinerated, and instead being recycled.
