PAKTECH 6-PACK HOLDER RECYCLING
We are going to be participating in a recycling program put on by PakTech, who is the manufacturer of our 6-pack holders. These are currently not recyclable in the commingled recycling, which is a major bummer. So, PakTech implemented a new program where they will take these back and recycle them to be re-purposed! How cool is that?!
We are in the initial stages of rolling the program out on our end, but be on the lookout for blue recycling containers where people can recycle the holders. We will be offering this service to anyone who wants to bring in their holders to recycle so we can maximize the number that do get recycled. Even our distribution accounts will benefit! This flyer will be put up in conspicuous locations so you can read about the program and answer any questions our customers may have. A formal announcement in the form of a HotSchedules message and a social media posting will come out later this week.
