How to recycle EcoEnclose products
First of all, a big THANK YOU to all of you who have chosen to use sustainable packaging. Your ecological efforts really do matter!
We aim for the ultimate in sustainability for our packaging products, but it is also important what happens to them when their useful life is over. We urge everyone to reduce first, reuse if possible, and then recycle. Curbside recycling is standard in all larger cities; however it may be limited in smaller townships.

Labels and Tape
Material: Varies, typically our adhesive based products have 100% recycled (or renewable) backing and plant-based adhesive.
Where to Recycle: In almost all cases, labels and tape are used on different types of packaging (mailers or shipping boxes). Packaging should therefore be recycled based on the guidance described above. When material is remelted and/or re-pulped, the adhesives and backing are stripped out of the process.
