CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA., March 30, 2015 – WhiteWave Foods, a leading consumer packaged food and beverage company, is the latest to join the How2Recycle label program. WhiteWave will be using the label on its North American brands: Silk, So Delicious Dairy Free, Vega, Horizon, Wallaby Organic, Earthbound Farm, International Delight and Land O’Lakes*. WhiteWave Foods joins more than 45 other member companies currently using the How2Recycle label to ensure that consumers receive clear instructions on how to dispose of packaging materials.
“We are very excited to welcome WhiteWave Foods to How2Recycle,” said Kelly Cramer, Project Manager at the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. “People should keep their eyes out for the How2Recycle label across a variety of WhiteWave food and beverage products in the coming year.”
WhiteWave’s membership in How2Recycle reinforces the company’s commitment to promoting recycling and consumer education. WhiteWave works from the assumption that every material has a potential end-of-life scenario other than going to a landfill.
