Recyclable

A recyclable claim indicates that the product can be collected, separated, or otherwise recovered from the waste stream through an established recycling program for reuse or use in manufacturing or assembling another item. Recyclable claims also denote the availability of recycling programs and collection sites to consumers, the percentage of a product that is recyclable, and any component that limits the ability of a product to be recycled. On a product labeled as recyclable, phrases specifically referring to these features need to be displayed to avoid deception.
