CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, September 13th, 2018 — How2Recycle today announced its newest grocery and food retail member, Natural Grocers. Natural Grocers, a specialty retailer of organic and natural groceries, has locations across the Midwest and Western U.S. and will use the How2Recycle label on a variety of its private label products when released in 2018.
“Natural Grocers is dedicated to protecting the environment and reducing our carbon footprint, which is why we’ve made the decision to use the How2Recycle label,” said Heather Isely, Natural Grocers Executive Vice President. “In addition to these labels, we offer bagless checkouts, use minimum sufficient packaging and take other steps to be stewards of the environment.”
Natural Grocers joins Walmart, Target, Food Lion, Wegmans, Lidl, Aldi, and Shoprite as the eighth grocery and food retailer to join How2Recycle. By using the label on product packaging, Natural Grocers will help its customers take the guesswork out of recycling.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Natural Grocers as the next grocery retailer to join How2Recycle,” says Caroline Cox, Project Manager, How2Recycle.
By featuring consistent, comprehensive recycling messaging across a wide variety of private label product lines, Natural Grocers is empowering their consumers to recycle more, and more accurately.
